Intel and Asus launch WePC

We do get custom PCs today, but yet, there is not much you can do when it comes to laptops and it isn't seldom that many of us have felt that we could have designed something a thousand times better. An article on Theinquirer.net says that Intel and Asus think just that way and have called upon the consumers to design their own PC.

These two giants have teamed up for a project named WePC, which is something like a collaborative computer design site, where anyone can submit their ideas and design their own dream laptops. "You Dream It. ASUS Builds It. Intel Inside It." is the motto of this site.


If you want it to be completely water/dust/fire proof, wind or solar powered, have WiMax, GPS, 3G, antitheft tracking, full-touchscreen or even have an inbuilt stereo system that really sounds good, then WePC is the way to go and let your creative juices flow. It goes without saying that you should also be ready to part with a large chunk of your bank balance.

Suggestions and designs uploaded to www.wepc.com can be voted for by site visitors. If your design gains popularity, it can be used by Intel and Asus designers in their next laptop models without them worrying about any copyright issues, though.

As a consolation, the best designs will receive a mystery prize, but what this mystery prize is, remains a mystery until it is revealed at some later date, or may be they will come up with another site to come up with ideas with what that gift should be?

This is not really about whether they want creative ideas for free or not, but it is about fame and glory that you can achieve. All you need to do is post your ideas there and then post them on your social networking site. So when your ideas are adopted, you still have something to brag about.
