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.

  5. I’m a casual gamer, and a intel powered gaming lap top sold by Best Buy because its portable, would be really cool to win so I could play games on it with my grand kids, and some day I might win a game? or have fun watching their eye light up when they are playing that is why the laptop atBest Buy is the machine of my dreams.

  6. I’m for sure an enthusiast gamer. Been gaming on PC and PS1/PS2/PS3 and 4 since i was 7/8 years old. From just playing some old minesweeper on the computer or the first original Call of Duty (where i played in one of the best clans of that time) to the first and most addictive soccer game there was in that time (Pro Evolution Soccer). Nowadays i play CS:Go not professionally even tho i try. Hopefully a new gaming computer will help me reach the next step for gaming and obviously i would love to do it with one Dell G5 Gaming PC – Abyss Grey which is a beast!! Good luck to everyone participating and stay safe everyone! #StayAtHome.
