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.

  16. I am an Alpha gamer and the Alienware Aurora Intel Powered Gaming PC, sold at Best Buy, is the machine of my dreams.

  17. I would say that I am Purist/Enthusiast. I love my PC and have no problem custom building one. But I also enjoy some mobile games and mobile emulation.
    Have to go with an ASUS Zephyrus for great cost to performance ratio! But I can’t not mention Alienware for overall outstanding performance!

  18. I’m a Purist and I would love a Cybertron BLU-Print Workstation desktop. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  23. Would love to have this electronic powerhouse in my office so I can rise out the covid-19 pandemic with high quality entertainment.

  24. I am not sure that I will win, I have a bad luck at any contest, however this is my first time to apply in such one at BEST BUY. I have a good knowledge about the hardware and how to update either a Laptop or a Desktop components.
    I am an Enthusiast and I would select ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop, since it is lighter and thinner than the Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop.

  25. I’m a casual gamer, the Alienware is nice but I like the ASUS more just because I think it would be easier to handle and overall more appealing to me!

  33. I would say I’m mostly pragmatic. I’m not up on everything but have decent knowledge about hardware and know what my needs are. I enjoy gaming as more a stationary thing.

  38. An alpha gamer, that Asus Zephyrus S laptop would be amazing for gaming at LANs and with friends

  47. I’m a casual gamer and my favourite laptop is the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/NVIDIA RTX 2060)!

  48. I would call myself a Casual Gamer and I would go for ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop.

  50. Casual gamer and my dream machine is the Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop – Thanks for the contest! 🙂
