Microsoft is giving away a commemorative Surface Laptop to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, with a little extra bling…but just for 50 of the company’s customers.
The new 50th Anniversary Exclusive model of the Surface Laptop features a twist: Normally, the Windows logo on the back of the laptop complements the color scheme of the Laptop itself — e.g., a black laptop includes a black logo. For this model, Microsoft etched the logo in gold, a rather stunning accent color.
Inside, there’s another twist. Microsoft usually leaves its keyboard tray blank and unadorned, without even a logo, let alone a sticker highlighting the manufacturer of the processor inside of it. But on this Laptop, Microsoft has etched the sweet “Microsoft” logo from 1975, giving it an added retro touch.
Microsoft has 50 of these Surface Laptop 50th Anniversary Exclusive models to give away, which the company seems to be doing exclusively on Instagram. (It’s not clear what size the Surface Laptop is.) But there’s a small catch.
To enter, you’ll need to post a photo of your “Surface on-the-go,” according to Microsoft’s Instagram post. That means, theoretically, that you’ll already need to own a Surface to take a photo of it. (If not, you can probably borrow one from a friend.)
You’ll also need to tell Microsoft why you love your Surface, follow @Surface on Instagram, and add the special #Microsoft50SurfaceSweepstakes and #Microsoft50 hashtags to your post, as well.
Unfortunately, the contest is only open to resident of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and for a limited time: until April 16. So get snapping to land yourself one of these iconic Surface Laptops!
