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.

  20. Definitely an ‘On-The-Go’ kind of gamer. I like to pick up and play and the ability to do quick sessions without having to commit to game sessions that run for hours. Thanks for running this contest!

  21. I’m a casual gamer but becoming more of an avid gamer. I would love to someday have the HP OMEN 17.3″ Gaming Laptop – Black (Intel Core i7 8750H/1TB HDD/256GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1060). Not likely it will ever happen but you never know.

  23. Pragmatist nowdays but Purist when I was younger.
    That “ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop” would be a dream. But to be honest. Either laptop would be a big step up. Thanks for the chance.

    …ok… Anything in the store currently would be a step up. lol.

  25. I’m an enthusiast Gamer and my husband is an Alpha gamer. The Asus Zephyrus S laptop has the specs to meet both our needs in tournaments and for some casual playthroughs.

  31. I am a casual gamer. Alienware m15 Laptop is my dream laptop.

  42. I’m a casual gamer and my son is a purist gamer who also streams. A desktop PC would be perfect as our present desktop system was a build in 1997 and a bit outdated. We are temporarily using a laptop that’s only six years old but it lags and is a bit outdated as well.
    Thank you so much for this great giveaway.

  43. We Love the Asus Zephyrus S laptop!! It would be fantastic for my kids and I!! Thanks for the opportunity!! Best Buy rules!!!
