Sufficed to say: I'm in. My Lenovo x120e review will be my application

[CMetaphor]

C'mon fellow HWCers! Try out and become a reviewer! You'll get to play with all the latest AMD hardware! Up to (and possibly including) Bulldozer!

[Slaughter]

I am working on my submission!

[Arinoth]

I wish all those whom are considering it good luck, myself I dont have the free time or desire to do more work after classes.

[SKYMTL]

Yeah and this IS work. But fun work. :)

Whoever gets the position should have the title: AMD Eager Beaver

[Arinoth]

Oh i wouldn't doubt thats it fun work, I know some reviewers. Its the fact I'm typically worn out from Lectures, Assignments, informal lab reports that take 7 hours to complete that night and are due next day at 9am, formal lab reports, etc, otherwise i'd give this thing a shot myself (and the fact the only AMD system i have is an AM2 htpc system). I'm not trying to disway anyone from doing this, I'm more so encouraging those whom have the free time and want to get their hands on the latest AMD cpu and motherboards, just I doubt I'd have the time or be qualified for it.

[Slaughter]

It can be quite time consuming. I had made the mistake before taking on a position as a reviewer for another site shortly after the birth of my second child and needless to say, there was simply not enough time in a day to accomplish all the tasks. :) It is definitely fun but at the time it just wasn't possible to keep up. Now that my kids are a bit older and I have my own time again, I'd like to take another swing at it!

Good luck to all the applicants!

I agree this does look neat. Although I fear I lack the grammatical skills needed for such a position. That and I would have to buy a new camera, and get better at overclocking. I'm only at 4.1ghz on a 1090T black, weak lol.
