Intel consistently improves computer performance year over year for everyone, from students to artists, business people to gamers. Not surprisingly, Intel is also critical to your success at the most intensely demanding activity for any computer: PC Gaming. Enter for a chance to win a high performance, Intel powered, gaming computer from Intel and Best Buy.

All gamers are welcome

What kind of gamer are you? It’s been said that variety is the spice of life and there are many kinds of PC gamer. Some people stick exclusively to simple PC games that work on any machine; others prefer highly demanding PC games they play on custom built water-cooled machines with the fastest Intel processor available. A recent study concluded that there are six distinct types of PC gamers:

  1. Alpha: Highly enthusiastic, cross-platform, social, influential, and competitive gamer; high knowledge of PC components especially as it affects gaming.
  2. Purist: PC-centric, preferring stationary, immersive gaming; likely to customize PC hardware.
  3. Enthusiast: passionate about the latest gaming trend, loves PC Gaming but also mobile/smartphone gaming; moderate hardware knowledge
  4. Pragmatist: hobbyist preferring stationary/solitary gaming; knowledgeable about hardware but pragmatic about which computer works for their needs
  5. On-the-go: gaming on the go is most important; satisfied with easy to use PC products
  6. Casual: gaming is a quick escape and usually a stationary activity; not very knowledgeable about PC hardware

Think about where you fit into this framework, and what kind of games you most like to play.

  4. I’m an Enthusiast! I like the ASUS ROG Strix III G 15.6″ Gaming Laptop – I like the amount of RAM and the graphics card. And considering my current HP is like a turtle to log on, to anything, having a speedy boot up would be great! Nice price point too.

  6. I am an enthusiast gamer. I know most of the parts to a computer but do not know how to assemble one. I like to play games that my friends are playing or games that are popular and well made. I do mobile gaming on the side and I am very passionate about gaming. I dream of having a gaming laptop and one of my favourites is the brand Alienware but more specifically the Alienware M17. I would love to win a gaming laptop and am very exited about this contest!

  7. I’m an Alpha gamer I’d day. I’d have to go with a ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6 so I can take it with me while visiting my family in New Brunswick. I’m usually limited to just my Switch so having a gaming laptop would be a great addition.

  8. I’m on the go for sure. I don’t know how to build the best gaming computer but I’ll take anything that let’s me play.. Might have to become a streamer in this self isolation! Asus ROG Strix Hero III 17.3 gaming laptop

  10. I’m a mix of an enthusiast and a pragmatist but my brother is an Alpha and more knowledgeable on gaming pcs so I let him custom build my current pc. I know he would tell me that any of the Asus or Alienware laptops would be right for me.

  21. Enthusiast for PC gaming. Usually stick to consoles because I’ve never had a pure gaming pc or laptop. My current laptop can run games decently but under powered for the more demanding games. I’ve always loved the looks on Alienwares but the specs on the Asus are pretty tip top.

  23. I’m an Enthusiast gamer and I started to get back to PC gaming.

    I’ve been looking at the Asus ROG Strix Hero III 17.3 gaming laptop – G731GW-DB74 (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070)

  46. I’m for sure an enthusiast, love a good conversation about the last trends in video games. The dream machine from Best Buy would be the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin!

  47. I’d say a Purist. I like the Alienware Aurora Gaming PC – White (Intel Core i7 9700/1TB HDD/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2080)

  49. Casual gamer: I’ve had the same laptop for 9 years it got me through university where I was getting a bachelors of education. Unfortunately now with everything moving online for teachers here, I find myself with an antiquated system and have to use a rented laptop. I game on Steam from time to time and my dream laptop is anything that I don’t need to keep plugged into the wall… that ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop looks pretty good though…
