I'm sure youve seen the popups now offering all sorts of free stuff if you complete a few simple offers. They are all scams, let me explain how they work so you don't waste your time and money chasing a dream.
First they will give you something simple to do like sign up for a credit card and buy something. No big deal, it's easy to do and you get something you were probably going to buy anyway. The company who got you to sign up gets money from the credit card company for giving them a new customer.
In the second round you will get to choose from several relatively inexpensive offers like magazine subscriptions. Again, you figure why not since you're going to get that free laptop with only one more step. Once more the company who get you to sign up gets paid for bringing in a new customer.
Now comes round 3. You get to choose from 2 or 3 outrageously expensive offers. If you were stupid enough to choose one the company would happily give you whatever prize you aske for (Speedy 30, laptop, PS3, whatever they are offering) because the profit they make from selling you this junk would easily let them give you a laptop and still make good money. Only nobody ever chooses in the third round, they can see it isn't worth it.
So you spend a bit of money in the first 2 rounds and the company makes a ton of money from the thousands of referrals they get paid for. It's all legal because you get what you paid for but you will never get that laptop. Don't waste your time.
