Off topic before I begin: Dtoid community member Half Left sent the British comedian duo Peacock & Gamble a Destructoid sticker. The gift was mentioned in episode 8 as something they're fond of that one might like to put on their skateboard if they had one. Good stuff. (Thanks, Jim!)
Anyway, onwards with the bribery! Asus has sponsored a few goodies for Destructoid readers in exchange for picking your brains. I have six $100 American Express gift cards for six lucky Dtoiders to spend at their neighborhood game pusher. I'll be giving away one each week in exchange for an answer to a problem regarding "making gaming notebooks suck less". Your honest is much appreciated. Here's the first one:
Asus is considering manufacturing overclocked "gaming docks" that would unlock additional CPU/GPU/Storage power when paired with your gaming notebook. The idea (as Henry put it) is like Voltron: You buy a laptop as you normally would, then later (or together) buy this water-cooled overclocked contraption that it would rest on. Thus, you could theoretically buy an ultra-lightweight notebook and get home to this beefy (and also portable) docking bay and you have a full-on battlestation to run Peggle4Lyfe at 1080p. Since the performance parts are on the outside, an upgrade would mean buying a better dock, not necessarily a better notebook every time. Thus, you would an extreme water-cooled gaming notebook without actually having to carry a radiator around.
How to win the booty:
Tell Asus if this idea is awesome, stupid, or if you have a better one by posting a comment on this WePC thread (not in the comments below). If you don't have an account on WePC, please register your username as "Dtoid_YourName" so I know how to contact you later (Dtoid_Niero). You may post your thoughts *once a day* to increase your chances to win. Important: This is a moderated discussion by Asus and Intel, so you must stay on topic or your comments may be deleted. The winner will be selected at random next week when we give away the next $100 gift card. All territories are eligible to win. Comment away. Good luck!
