Did you know that while 79% of Americans are excited about the chance to learn and try out new technologies, half are frustrated by the lack of access to them beyond what they read or see in the media?* I feel the same way. I want to try tech things out before I buy them. I love the instore experience of playing around.
*according to a new study by Intel and Toluna.
Best Buy is excited to showcase a new Experience in our stores starting in November. If you love shopping at Best Buy and discovering the latest and greatest in new technology, then you need to head to your local Best Buy.
That’s the reason why Intel and Best Buy are now teaming up to bring new Intel Technology Experience zones to 50 Best Buy stores in major markets across the U.S. The Intel Technology Experience lets customers – from tech enthusiasts to technophobes – play, explore, and be inspired by the power of technology with hands-on activities like 3D printing and virtual reality games. For many, this is the first opportunity to see, touch, and play with exciting new technologies they’ve only heard about.
Averaging 240 square feet, the Intel Technology Experience will show customers the power of Intel: the technology behind these new, innovative activities is the same power behind the devices like tablets and laptops we love and rely on every day. Customers can build and print their own 3D robot, show off their racing skills on Mars in an augmented reality world, master beats and remix tracks by Ne-Yo as a digital DJ, and check out the latest PC and tablet devices powered by Intel processors.
The area will be staffed by specially trained Best Buy Blue Shirts to answer questions and help customers make the most of each area within the experience. Each season, Intel will refresh the venues with a new array of technology experiences.

It sounds like I need to get over to Best Buy! I need to check that out for myself.
I have not been to a best buy in a while, I have a lot to learn about technology. Thanks for the incentive to head over there.
I confess, the only time we go to best buy is during the holiday season!
They have the best deals 🙂
I was just trying to think up an excuse to head into my local Best Buy the other day. This is all the incentive I need. – Katy
We are heading to best buy this weekend to do a little shopping. Can’t wait to see their new displays.
I am going to have to go to Best Buy and do my holiday shopping for my dad and my husband. They would love so many of the items that they are selling there right now!
I love Best Buy. The staff is always extremely helpful and they allow you to try out the product you are looking to buy without the pressure.
I love Best Buy. Whenever I need electronics, I always go to them.
I need to go to Best Buy to look at TVs. I will have to check this out as well.
I’d love to see the 3D printing done it person! Will have to check to see if my local Best Buy has this!
I’m curious if this will be anywhere near me. It sounds like it could be worth taking a visit into stores to see.
Best Buy is First Choice for shopping. So many things to choose from.
Tech changes so fast it can be overwhelming, it’s awesome that they’ll let you play with it before you buy it and get frustrated with it all alone at home (not that I’ve ever done that…)
I haven’t been to a best buy in ages. Neat to see that they’re dedicating a lot of floor space to learning about something people have heard of but probably know nothing about.
I can truly appreciate the fact that they are taking the time to show consumers how to really work these things. Nice!
We love Best Buy! It is our go to store. We were there on Saturday – I did not think I was going to be able to get my hubby out of the store.
I love how knowledgeable the staff at Best Buy is! I am looking for a new computer and TV–Best Buy is my first choice!
I like being able to buy and enjoy all kinds of new technology as it comes on the market.
Next time I will have hubby stay home with kids and I will go there!
This is perfect timing. Great info right before we make a big computer purchase!
I was just at my local Best Buy last night and they’ve got these cool new displays up! I love how helpful and knowledgable the staff is!
