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

It would totally help me organize home and work a lot better!
It would help me get more done so I wouldn’t be stuck at the computer for so long.
It would be really nice to be able to watch movies without the lag of a slow computer.
Getting a laptop would allow me to BLOG from anywhere. How cool would that be! It would be great just winning the Gift Card. Thanks for the opportunity!

It would make a word of difference for my Christmas. You have no idea.
I would totally pick up something for my hubs for Christmas.
Right now, my computer at home is so slow i do all my blog reading at work! Not good! i would love to be able to enter blogland at home so that i have more time to get great tips from YOU!
Having a laptop would mean I could keep working, even when away from home.
Wow who wouldn’t want to win a gift certificate to Best Buys with Christmas around the corner. I am wanting to get a webcam so I can talk to my grandchildren that live in another state.
I would LOVE to have a new laptop! Our PC is getting slower and slower, and it’s NOT portable. Also, My husband has to do my photo editing for my Etsy shop at work because our PC is so slow it can’t handle the workload. What a blessing it would be to do it at home! (or wherever I happened to be!) : )
