Contest: Design The Gaming Laptop of the Future and Win a Toshiba X305

You know what is better than getting a brand new Toshiba Qosmio X305 gaming laptop this holiday? How about getting one for free? Yes, that definitely would be the way to go—but there is one small catch. You have to earn it by designing your vision of the ultimate gaming laptop of the future. Just send a presentable looking mockup of your design with specs and other info to contests@gizmodo.com with the subject "X305 Contest." Hurry though, all entries must be received by December 1st to be considered.

• Repulsor Air - Blows air with CO2 air pump on hip and hose back to his hand.

• Repulsor Missile - Using CO2 air pump can also launch a paper missile.

• Repulsor Sensor/Light - A magnetic switch sensor lights his repulsor hand light and fades out and in his glowing eyes. Arduino handles this effect.

• Repulsor Sound Effect(s) - Originally not working. Worked around problem by using right-mouse, middle-mouse button and configured Elightenment17 to playback sound effects using Mplayer script. Mouse buttons activated by Arduino Digital output triggered by sensors.

• Arc Reactor - A LED night light from Costco embedded in his chest.

• BeagleBoard: Powerful Computer - With BeagleBoard already running in JARVUS box on my son's back need to add other features. Possibilities: Web cam, mobile router with hotspot and a head-mounted display, VoIP, streaming video of Iron Man view.

• Arduino: Super Input/Output Board - Handles repulsor effects but can add other sensors to enable even cooler special effects!!
