Intel: What’s Inside Bloggers Event

Last night, bloggers stormed the Intel office to find out what’s inside. Though we still had to register ourselves at the reception for a pass and get another pass when we reached the Intel office. At the same time, we were asked to sign our souls away to an NDA. However, I’m not sure what we’re not suppose to disclose here. LOL!

So anyway, the event kicked off with food – as usual. As bloggers, we’d always like to ask if there’s free food or drinks as part of the parcel attending an event. Hmm, not sure if that’s a good thing.

After dining in the lovely conference room, we then adjourned to the training room – I think. In here, we sat in comfortable office chairs, resting our tummy filled bodies and the emcee introduced the 1st speaker.

Vanessa Ng, Intel Malaysia Marketing Manager

The speaker following that I definitely know. We hung out at LOL cafe over some great food. And hopefully, I’ll be dining with them again soon.

Kenny Wong, CMO from P1 Network

After hearing how Intel and P1 are doing their part in moving technology forward, we had another Intel speaker cover technical benefits of using Wimax on the go. Let’s call him…

The Intel techie

After all the talking and listening, we got our hands dirty on the Wimax-enabled notebooks. Seriously, I’m not sure what information can’t be disclosed so on the safe side I’ll say, Wimax-powered notebooks are going to be accessible and affordable.

Once play time was over, it was back to our seats for some Q&A with the Intel lady, Kenny, Intel techie and joined by them was also the Intel sales/marketing guy (if I’m not mistaken, again).

There were various questions posed from the floor. Notable ones I remembered are:

• How’s energy and battery consumption?
• How’s the signal receiver?
• Is multiple account support possible?
• Is the wave transmission hackable? (don’t ask LOL!)

Before wrapping up the event, emcee gave the bloggers a photo opportunity and I was quite surprised by this. Because normally, bloggers aren’t treated similarly as media. Well, very rarely I’d say. So, hurray!

Well, that’s what went down at the event. And I don’t believe I’ve revealed too much which could cost me the NDA. But I would like to share a tip, if you’re joining the What’s Inside contest, they may be looking for this answer; what’s the name of the Wimax chip?

By the way, do you think Wimax notebooks and netbooks will increase the Internet subscribers in Malaysia?

Intel: What’s New Inside

Intel’s got a new toy to introduce to the geek market. And they’re right now teasing all of us; geeks, at their new What’s Inside website.

And on YouTube.

Seems to me Intel is really going all out on their ‘Inside Matters’. Though I won a Dell Mini thanks to Intel previously, I remembered another campaign. Participants were asked to write about an article or story about what matter’s inside. See, it’s like a disease.

Anyway, Intel is offering prizes worth RM2599 at their new campaign website. Initially, I thought there was 1 prize worth RM2599 but after reading it again, it’s prizes (plural; more than 1). But hey, more than 1 prize is a good thing too!

So, how do I win 1 of the prizes?

Easy. Submit 3 guesses of what you think is inside that funky rainbow box.

Bonus tip for you

It’s easy to say, we could be looking at a Wimax-enabled netbook or laptop from Intel. At least that’s what others are saying. LOL!

If you’re in the market for a notebook or a netbook, here’s a tip: Get the one with WiMAX-Inside! | http://whatisinside.com.my/

By the way, dear Intel campaign team. Please link the Twitter logo to your account and not the main Twitter website.

D’you think there’s magic cookies inside the box?

I’ll let you know what I find when I look into the box at their launch event.
