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. Casual gamer and the Intel-powered-gaming-desktop-machine-of-my-dreams is the Alienware Aurora Gaming PC.

  6. I’m a casual gamer who would love to get a Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop ! Thanks, Stay safe everyone

  9. Purist!! ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/NVIDIA RTX 2060)-English
    Thank you BestBuy

  10. I’m a Casual gamer. I would like to try the ASUS ROG Strix III G 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1660Ti) – Eng

  15. I am for sure an on-the-go gamer! I would be thrilled to win an ASUS ROG Strix III G 17.3″ Gaming Laptop Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/1TB HDD/16GB RAM/GTX 1650!

  18. I’m a purist/pragmatist. Great custom desktop (a little dated, but still plenty good for what I play on it) but a basic laptop for mobile work only. Would like a laptop that can match more like my desktop: ASUS ROG Zephyrus S Ultra Slim 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/1TB SSD/RTX 2080).

  21. The ASUS Zephyrus shown above would definitely encourage me to move up from the casual gamer to the enthusiast!

  24. I’m a casual gamer. I would prefer a laptop with a 17″ screen so the ASUS ROG Strix III G 17.3″ Gaming Laptop sounds good. ASUS a great brand.

  25. i consider myself as an enthusiast. Being a University student always on the go, the Asus Zephyrus is the perfect sleek/powerful computer.

  26. I am a Pragmatist. I like the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop – Intel i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/NVIDIA RTX 2060

  27. I’m a Casual Gamer but think I could compete with my grandson if I had the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6′ Gaming Laptop, at least I’d try!

  31. I am a Casual gamer, and I would love to have the Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1660 Ti).

  36. I’m a Purist as I like to modify and optimize hardware. I think the Cybertron BLU-Print Workstation (Model Number: TCVBPTRTH9403BM) is impressive. It is a bit overkill for gaming but Hyper-threading (corei9-9900X) and Dual video card is important for me as I also use it for molecular dynamic and virtual screening of ligands. The Alienware Aurora R9 has a great look and good specs.

  38. I am probably a mix of a few, but I guess casual gamer might describe me best, because I don’t have a lot of knowledge about hardware. My dream laptop from bestbuy would be the Alienware m17 17.3″ Gaming Laptop.

  45. Purist – Alienware Aurora Gaming PC – White (Intel Core i7 9700/1TB HDD/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2080)
    Would be even better if it is 2080Ti.

  50. I am an avid purist gamer and I would love either one of those bad boy gaming laptops as they both has some serious specs
