ASUS "Transform Your Gift " Live Chat & TF100 Giveaway!

[LinusTech]

So what is this?

 

Everyone's gotten a rotten present at some point or another. It's not that we're ungrateful or anything, it's just that... if my wife wanted a Crock Pot so badly... She should have just asked me to get her one rather than buy one for me then keep it for herself!!

 

As part of ASUS' "Transform Your Gift" promotion, they are sponsoring a special 1 hour live stream that will take place at 11:00am Pacific Time on December 12th, 2013 (convert to your own time zone with this handy tool)

 

It will be streamed at http://twitch.tv/linustech, and the TF100 Ultraportable Laptop giveaway we're running is for LIVE VIEWERS ONLY.

 

The topic of the stream is going to be Holiday Gift Ideas for Geeks with a particular emphasis on ASUS products that you guys would love to have as gifts this holiday season.

 

I want this to be a lot of fun and super interactive, so please post your suggestions for Geek gift ideas in this forum thread. I will definitely be taking more suggestions during the show as well, but it's great to have a starting point.. Something to remember is that while all ideas are fair game, this stream is sponsored by ASUS, so suggestions that relate back to ASUS products are more likely to be chosen, but as long as the idea you have is not a product that competes directly with an ASUS offering, there's a great chance it will be featured!

 

So how do I submit my holiday gift suggestions?

 

Post in this thread, so I can check out your suggestions ahead of time!

 

Submit your suggestions on Twitter by using hashtag #TransformYourGiftLinus.

 

We will also take some suggestions on Twitch chat and on Twitter during the live stream.

 

 

How do I win the TF100 Ultraportable Laptop?

 

The winner will be chosen randomly from the live viewers of the stream during a random period, so make sure you're paying attention!

 

1. Make sure you're registered for Linus Tech Tips forum and signed in while you're watching the live stream

2. Make sure you're watching from somewhere that you'll have access to a browser

3. Tune into the stream right at the beginning and make sure you're paying attention!

 

If you miss out during the stream, you can also check out ASUS' Facebook promotion that goes along with this for MORE CHANCES TO WIN!

[Ikaros18]

3:00 A.M here when it starts ;_;

[tenaciousrif]

one product that interests me is the

ROG ARES II: dual HD 7970 GPUs and hybrid air/ liquid cooling this seems like it could kick some butt.

[ces160]

Dam it thats to early for me. AUS time zone sux!!!! Lets all move to to Canada!!!

[Brozilla]

Thinkgeek I believe had a shirt with a built in keyboard, that'd make a pretty cool gift

[Kieran]

Hmmm.... http://eu.cpuwarsthegame.com/ It's not much but it's a nice quirky thought for a geeky friend... or just for myself

[M-ursu]

Us and canada only... i am sad now...

[rockking1379]

new video card. Something like an ASUS R9 290 would be great. Or an ASUS GeForce GTX 780 with their awesome DirectCU II cooler.

[Jonny.Wong.16]

I've been waiting for the Asus Zenbook Infinity (UX301) since CES. I was really hoping it would be out for the holidays.

 

Too bad I can't make it to the livestream since I have an exam at noon. =(

[altereDad]

Nothing says geek more than something you can display for all to see. Why not a shirt.

 

Pi anyone??

Oh, and I may be a few minutes late. Daughter is more important than the start of the show. Sorry Linus. I will be there though. "Fashionably" late, as it were.

[Giggitygoebbels]

fuck you linus, that is 5am in Brisbane.

That is 3AM in Singapore.Even worse.

[chrisaak]

good luck everyone !!

[4Strings]

I've got three: R9 290X DCUII, Nexus 7 (it's technically an Asus product), and the ThunderboltEX II (I really hope it's compatible with the C5FZ... it has a TB header...)

[dalberts]

I know for me at lease I have the R9 280x on my wishlist to pair with my ASUS 7970

[Eyal]

If I'm not in north america, can I pay for the taxes and shipping and have a chance to win? or it's just north america?

[Mooshi]

an R9 290X is a lovely thing to give away! Just don't place it under the Christmas tree for obvious fire hazard reasons.

[Jack Wignall]

Good luck everybody
