MacBook Pro, Coda, and Expresso Ultimate Giveaway!

Greetings lovely readers! Today is the beginning of the ultimate FREE giveaway for designers! Three lucky winners will receive either a MacBook Pro (15-inch), a Coda or Expresso License. Our only requirements is that you comment and subscribe to GrindSmart Magazine and that’s it! 3 lucky winners will be chosen on February 20th in absolute random order! Here are the specs:

MacBook Pro


The 15″ MacBook Pro features new LED backlighting, the first for a laptop display this large. The MacBook Pro display can be had with an anti-glare coating or a glossy option. The latest MacBook Pro uses nVidia’s new GeForce 8600M GT graphics controller (GPU). Based on an entirely new architecture, this laptop version of the 8600 chipset should out-perform the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 used in the previous MacBook Pro, but our test results were inconsistent. The 8600 series also include an H.264 decoder, but we don’t know if Mac OS X takes advantage of this.

  • excellent display color, brightness and clarity; won’t fade over time.
  • 2 GB of memory standard
  • excellent keyboard and trackpad
  • good expandability (FireWire 800, Express/34, 30″ Display support)
  • very good battery life

Coda


This one-window Web design app has all the tools you need for creating great Web sites. Collaboration tools let you seamlessly work together with others, and an integrated FTP sidebar– using the power of Panic’s Transmit–helps you get your site updated quickly. Hand coding experts will like the full-featured CSS and text editors, with tools that are always only a click away. Time savers like the Clips feature make frequently used code handy and convenient. We particularly like the powerful Find and Replace tools which let you drag-and-drop global changes to your code. If you’re searching for a reasonably priced Web design tool for Mac, Coda has plenty of handy tools to help you get your site up and running quickly.

Expresso


Now, Espresso delivers something better than a caffeine boost: a web editor with style. Espresso is not a bunch of apps thrown together. Instead, we looked at the needs of web developers and streamlined their workflow into one gorgeous, focused app. Fast and powerful editing, sleek projects, live preview, awesome publishing and extensive synchronization tools.

Please Note: Results will be given on February 20th and winners will be randomly chosen using Random.Org services. Good Luck!

    Being a student in webDesign, i just quit my job to masterize my abilities. I have time, I have the will to be better. All I need is this prize to become pro. I’ll be able to meet clients (or at least show them what I’ve done in the projects). That would be AWESOME !
