Yes, even you can be a product designers thanks to WePC.com, a website launched by Intel and ASUS. WePC.com is where you can collaborate with your coherts and with Intel and ASUS to design new products. The plan is for the two companies to deliver to market what could be the world's first community-designed PCs.

WePC.com will enable a global conversation about the ideal elements of PCs. Visitors to the site can share ideas, vote on submitted concepts and engage in discussions with other community members about the qualities of the "dream" PC.

"ASUS and Intel have created WePC.com in an effort to bridge innovation and technology with consumers' wishes," said ASUS's Lillian Lin. "ASUS strives to provide the best user experience with our products. By empowering WePC.com users to play a role in the design process, we expect to deliver cutting-edge community-designed products that address a consumer vision of the dream PC."

The community will be divided into three conversation groups, addressing three of the most popular consumer PC categories: netbooks, notebooks, and gaming notebooks. Intel and ASUS hope to bring to market a consumer-inspired product that simplifies and enhances computing needs with Intel and ASUS technology in each category. The PCs will be powered by Intel Atom, Intel Centrino 2, and Intel Centrino 2 Extreme processors.

Prizes will be rewarded to select participants for their creative role in this project. Details on prizes will be announced at a later date.
