Even with so many comments, shares and likes, there can only be one winner. Naturally though, we would like to thank everybody who took their time and made an effort to participate. We are very happy to announce our winner and the future owner of the world’s fastest 13′ MacBook Pro. Aaaaaaaaaand the winner is (drumroll…)
| Florian Eckerstorfer from Austria! |
We just talked to him on the phone and he is super happy, but who wouldn’t be winning a 3000 € machine?

This is what Florian has to say:
Thanks so much guys, I finally made it to the rooftop terrace to give rein to my happiness! Since one year I am thinking about installing an SSD with the hardwrk SSD/HDD adapter kit into my MacBook, but I always shelved it, since I wanted a new MacBook Pro anyways. Now I go it both, yeah!
Florian is a software engineer and works as a web developer in Vienna, Austria. Our little monster machine will be delivered to him this week and we will post some pictures and a little insight on what he will be doing with it later on.
For the people interested in nerd stuff, here is the SQL script that found the winner for us:
SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID=123 AND comment_parent=0
GROUP BY comment_author_email ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1
Congrats Flo and thanks to everybody who participated!





yeah … probably well trafficked this contest … everyone is in doubt …
Sucks for you all. I was going to stop the next pandemic with that machine. Now I’ll have to do it with a Dell running Windows XP SP2 and an Intel Core Duo 2. May God have mercy on us all.
I shit my pants. ROFL
Well at least another “Flo” won

congrats
I would have stop the announcement at the “sorry you didn’t make it” part. If we’re supposed to feel happy about this person, I can tell we’re not. Twat.
Just wanted to shout out a big “DANKE!” to Hardwrk and staff for the latest MacBook contest. I (and a few friends) did not win (sniff!) … but wanted Hardwrk to know we appreciated the opportunity to enter. It was a grand prize. Hope you do something like this again (although would like to recommend MULTIPLE winners, maybe 1 grand prize, 4 smaller prizes?). AND we thought it classy of Hardwrk to actually send out email announcements following the contest to let people know who won and who did not. That was a courtesy that a lot of company Human Resource Departments aren’t good enough to do. Bravo, Hardwrk.
Hi Steve, thanks for your nice words! We are already planning to repeat something like this. It has been a lot of fun for the whole hardwrk team and there are still some ideas left to get the MacBook Pro even faster..
