Celebrate the fun and excitement of PC Gaming during Intel® Gaming Week. Best Buy Canada kicks it off with great deals on Intel-powered laptops and PC Gaming accessories that will boost your gaming experience in ways you can only imagine. Running from May 12th to 26th. Intel Gaming Week features some of the top names in PC gaming including MSI and Dell (who supplied the prizes for this contest). Read on to learn more about Intel’s most advanced processors, including Intel’s 12th Gen processors released this year. Then enter for your chance to win one of the two amazing laptops we are giving away.
Step up your gaming and leap ahead of the competition
Last year Intel released the amazing 11th Gen H Series processors bringing desktop calibre performance to laptops. Intel called it, “Desktop power for any desk” because Intel-powered laptops have evolved to deliver comparable performance of a bulky desktop so you can play high resolution, maximum frame rate games anytime and anywhere.
This year Intel announced an evolutionary leap in computing with their 12th Gen series of processors. We covered the main features of this announcement in an article on the blog at the beginning of this year. Gamers will get huge performance improvements thanks to the new hybrid architecture. The 12th Gen series mobile processors feature up to 6 Performance cores (P-cores) optimized for maximum responsiveness, and up to 8 Efficient cores (E-cores) optimized for threaded workloads and background tasks. Power gamers will be able to overclock both sets of cores to get faster performance than ever before.
Built for the next generation of gaming
Obviously, a gaming laptop is used for much more than just gaming. The ability for a laptop to keep gaming performance at maximum intensity while also performing complex background tasks is becoming more and more important. Many games require a steady connection to the internet during a game, for competing and for communicating with team mates in other cities; for downloading game components and add-ons; and more.
One of the most demanding auxiliary tasks that gamers do is live streaming or live recording for later playback of their gameplay. There are many people already streaming on Twitch and YouTube, and most are not able to stand out. The fact is, many gamers don’t have a machine powerful enough to keep their gaming at a peak level while they stream: the demands of streaming can dramatically impact the quality and consistency of gameplay, and thereby affect how engage their audience is. Imagine the challenges for a laptop to try to keep up with the complexities of a battle, the graphic demands and more, while at the same time capturing the action and sharing it over the internet. 12th Gen Intel® CoreTM powered laptops were built so you get the best of both worlds: the best gaming laptop and the best multitasking laptop ever created. Streaming with a laptop like this may be just what you need to stand out from the crowd.
Now is your chance to take on the world
Intel Gaming days are your chance to find the right machine for your gaming needs at a great price. Throughout the event you’ll find great deals on the newest 11th gen and 12th gen Intel powered laptops. You’ll also find great deals on gaming monitors and peripherals. And you can enter this contest for a chance to win one of these two amazing laptops!
How to enter
Entering this contest is easy and you can enter in two different ways.
- In a comment below, tell us would you consider streaming your gameplay if you had one of the new laptops as discussed above, and why or why not. If you already stream your gameplay, do you post on a social site like YouTube or Twitch or just for fun (you can put your channel link here for some free advertising if you wish).
For up to three (3) additional entries, create a public post on a social media channel (one entry per channel!) telling your friends and followers that you are entering to win a Dell or MSI laptop from the Best Buy Blog’s Intel Gaming days contest; include the hashtag #BestBuyContest, so we can find your post, and include a picture of the prize like that shown here. Then return here and tell us in a comment below, on which channel you posted it and the name of your channel (since many people use pseudonyms) so that I can check and verify your entry. You can use any social media channel (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc) but the post must be public so we can verify it is there. Add one comment below for each social media channel for up to 3 contest entries.
What you can win
At the end of this contest we will randomly select two (2) winners from all eligible entries. One will receive the Dell G15 15.6″ Gaming Laptop and the other will receive the MSI GS66 Stealth 15.6″ Gaming Laptop.
This contest runs from May 6th to May 26th.
Remember you can enter in two different ways as described above. However, tell your friends to visit Best Buy during Intel gaming days to check out the deals and so they too have a chance to win a great gaming laptop.

Facebook…..Lillian Poulton
I’m not interested in streaming in a public forum.
I would consider streaming my game play if I got really good at it.
No, I would not want to stream, unfortunately my computer area is a real mess, and I would not be comfortable with that, plus I tend to drink a bit when I game, that would not be the best example. But yes, I could definitely use a more up to date computer! Many thanks for this great opportunity, all the best, Louis
I wouldn’t stream because I don’t need that attention
Not sure about streaming yet but the laptop would take it to another level!
I would not stream because I am not that good.
No to the streaming.I play just for the challenge.
No, i would not be interested in streaming my gameplay. I just play for fun, nothing exceptional to see :/
I could use a new laptop
If I win I would definitely stream on Twitch with my account as my current platform doesn’t stream properly with sound!
Might consider streaming my gameplay if I had one of the new laptops and became a better gamer!

I would on twitch if I had a system that could handle it, like the ones mentioned here.
Been wanting to start a Twitch stream but need a good gaming laptop for it so this would be perfect. Would be streaming lots of classic games I grew up playing.
Just play for fun, no real interest to stream.

Shared on IG @squirmer03
I would not stream my gameplay because I’m not that proficient a gamer yet.
I am still quite the beginner when it comes to gaming, and so I would feel shy about posting my gameplay. However, with practice (hopefully on a new laptop!), I can improve enough to feel confident in sharing! Thank you so much for the chance!
I would stream by gameplay because it would be a cool experience!
I would not stream to anyone that is not close to me. However i would love to win this laptop.
I would love this computer but I am not the best player ie twitch level. However I have shared some gameplay with my mates on discord.
I forgot to say I made a public post on Facebook @joyce poyton
I would like to stream my play as I think it can be fun
I posted on twitter only the channel name is @2008Chinu
I would love the MSI GS66 Stealth 15.6″ Gaming Laptop but I don’t think I would consider streaming my gameplay even with this computer. I do enjoy gaming but I like turn-based strategy games and a good gaming laptop would help with the speed as well as being able to run other things in the background
I am not good enough to be of interest streaming
my son would love this. he sometimes likes to stream his games so his friends can watch it on their screens and play along with him in the games.
I think there are enough people out there streaming already. I’d be playing just for fun.
I would definitely stream my gameplay, if I had something worth streaming.
I would learn to stream my gameplay.
I am an “old school” gamer. I would love the chance to play “Bard’s Tale” again…
I already stream some gameplay but this would allow me to do more.
I would definitely stream my gaming. Having this kind of power on the go would be fun. Great for on the fly streaming with the right mobile connection.
