This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
Having a brand new laptop has been so great! I am thrilled with the speed and how this new processor with the Intel chip makes my blogging life easier. You know how it is when a computer can’t keep up?! That’s not a problem with my fancy new machine.
My little office nook gets a good workout every single day! You can see here that it’s not picture perfect all the time. There’s work to be done. 🙂
As I mentioned, I do a lot of photo editing. That is a breeze and the speed is lightening fast. Connection speed is great, as well as getting things done in a timely manner. I also use my computer to store spreadsheets, do Word documents and definitely needed the storage space for my thousands of pics that I have saved. Those pics need lots of room to spread out.
I also do some room consultations and need to be able to move around the web, gathering pics and getting ideas saved. I can open lots of windows and switch back and forth with the sweep of my mouse. I love that this computer has twice the memory that my little netbook has. It’s definitely going to keep me on task with blogging and other areas of my life.
This cool feature would be great to use for movies, checking out family pics online. Can you imagine sharing your family photos on a big screen like this?
Now, after sharing how the laptop has improved my work life balance, you know the great news! I’ll be giving away a $250 Best Buy giftcard for ONE of my readers. I’m so excited to share this with all of you and can’t wait to see someone else benefit from the giveaway.
YES, you can sign up AGAIN, even if you signed up on the 1st giveaway post. Double your chances!!
I totally and completely love my new laptop!
Here is some more info on the Intel Core processor family. Visit Intel for more information:
- Smarter processors that deliver extra performance whenever you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don’t.
- Features 4-way (and 8-way) multi-task processing that allows each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time— that’s Intel® Hyper-Threading

holy stinkin cow! what a wonderful gift to give to my mama who desperately needs a new computer.
I don’t have a computer at home right now, so this would help me out SO much.
I would love to win this laptop. I have been traveling lately and when I do, don’t have access to a computer, so a laptop would be ideal. Thanks for the giveaway!
We need a new computer so bad, especially a laptop so we can tote it with us. Our computer is sooooooooo slow and just makes even the little tasks of everyday stuff (email, etc.) a lot less fun. Thanks for hosting this!

I don’t have a laptop and would love one. I have to go to the office and use the old PC, away from the family. I think being with them and using a laptop would just be great!! Please select me!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Would love to win this laptop for son going to college! How wonderful for the giveaway chance. Thanks!~

Since I started my blog in May, I have found it hard to keep up because with 2 teenage boys, I have to “schedule” time to use the computer! One is on the computer and the other is on Xbox Live so don’t load pictures and ruin his game!! I really could use a laptop to go anywhere in the house to blog!!
My old laptop will be jealous as it reads this but it KNOWS I need a new one! Dave Ramsey would be proud of how quickly I could update budgets with a new laptop!
I would love to have this computer to help me organize all my photos and learn photoshop -it would be wonderful to win :–)
My laptop is old, so this new one would be nice! Thanks for the giveaway!
My husband is starting up a new business and desperately needs a new computer! Thanks for the chance to win!
Holy Giveaway!!! I would love to win one – my workstation doesn’t quite fit on my lap when I’m just cruising the net shopping and such. This would be a fantastic opportunity to win!!! Good Luck Everyone!
This would be a great gift for my grandsons so they don’t have to share their Mom’s work computer.
Rhoda I blogged about your giveaway for my readers too to get the chance to enter! Thanks for this giveaway! Here is the link:

I’m a blogger with an old computer. Mama needs a new one to make life easier. I think blogging would be so much faster and less frustrating with a new computer.
I would love to have a new computer! They have become one of my best entertainment in my old age!
Getting a new laptop would make multitasking easier, as I could check email and my favorite blogs from any room in the house!
Oooo, I could so use this at home and at work for continuing education. I could also use it for newletters and specials as well as the updating of the blog(s). Then I wouldn’t have to wait until I get home and kick someone else off of the computer.
