How would you like to design a computer by consensus? And that’s not a hypothetical question either because it is being done by Intel and Asus who are collaboratively running a community site where people add their own input to design a dream computer. The purpose: For Intel and Asus to take the cue from consumers and design the world’s first community PCs and laptops.
Ideas on the ‘perfect computer’ will be shared by visitors to the site who have the option to exchange ideas, vote on concepts and enter into discussions with the ultimate goal of achieving a PC for the people. The best part of this site is that the computer manufacturers will be drawing on a multitude of people’s experiences, ideas and consumer desires. This is probably one of the cleverer marketing tactics to date; if you hand over the reins to your laptop buyers, a lot of product loyalty and interest will be fostered.
