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

LinusTech

I pick the Audio-Technica M50s. I just recently bought a pair, and I love them! While they are certainly not the best headphones in the world, they are affordable, good looking, comfortable, and sound amazing! Overall, I think the M50s are the perfect gift for almost any geek or techie. Whether they are gamers, musicians, or just casual listeners, almost anyone I know would want to have a set of these headphones. 

 

To plug ASUS, I'd recommend anyone using Audio-Technica M50s to take advantage of an ASUS sound card. Compared to other sound cards, ASUS sound cards are second to none.

I would say an Asus laptop, either vivobook or zenbook. Finally a vendor that can learn Apple about build quality.

Great gift idea? Any xonar sound card? Why? They are amazing and even Top tech heads often skimp out on sound cards for there killer systems. We must strive to end the days of 2-300 dollar head phones plugged into onboard sound of 2-3000 dollar boxes.

The Leap motion is a great gift/gift request, its not something someone would buy themselves, but its interesting enough to bee a good gift. also not to expensive like the quad crossfire 290x setup everyone wishes.

or just steam/GOG games.

US and Canada only???? I'm from Europe. I'll join you guys for sure. I'm guessing the more, the better for you and your future sponsorships and giveaways.

I can still give you some gift ideas. You said this before, but an Asus Xonar sound card, holy cow. Changed the way I game.

Also made by Asus is the Nexus 7.

Non Asus gifts :Pebble Smartwatch, RAM, silly USB drives and Steam Gift games. Random ftw

Linus you will like my gift suggestion a sound card. A good graphics card is out of most peoples price range but I think a sound card can hit the sweat spot no matter what seeing how you can buy them for as low as 30$ and as high as 300$ (probably more for crazy audiophile ones).

I'd think a good gaming mouse would make a good gift. Something like the GX1000 Eagle Eye mouse. Looks sexy and has what I would want in a mouse.

I particularly love multiple monitors, even though it's expensive. something like an eyefinity setup of ASUS PB Series PB278Q would be amazing for productivity and gaming. another even better gift would be 3 ASUS PQ321Q because obviously 4K, but since 4K is an exact multiple of 1080p you have the ability to run either older games or games that demand too much graphics power to run at 4K at 1080p with no cross-pixel aliasing.
