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.

  1. I’m On The Go – work/home/school committments – now the little TEEN gentleman in the house is an ENTHUSIAST. Bias aside – he is brilliant and I am pretty sure was up LATE last night with friends on Call Of Duty or Minecraft. Aaah shovelling His adventure this morning…..

  10. I no longer game on a PC but I could use a good gaming laptop to get back into it. Either of the two would make for a great experience. Thank you…

  15. Purist here, and the ASUS Zephyrus is one BAD machine. I would love to get my hands on that under-the-radar powerhouse.

  17. I am definitely an Enthusiast. The Laptop of my dreams at best buy is Alienware m17 17.3″ Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/RTX 2070). Only because I can game and run all the software/ drawing tablets I own at the same time.

  28. I’m another Purist in my youth, turned casual due to the realities of work and family life. My ideal pre-built desktop PC would be a Dell XPS Special Edition – but Best Buy doesn’t sell that model. So being a bit of a Dell fan (for business PCs and servers), I’d go for the Dell G5 Gaming PC – Abyss Grey (Intel Core i7 9700/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2060)
