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.

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

A faster computer would mean that my kids could play their preschool math games without getting the “low memory” error. It is hard being a single dad but a new computer is what Christmas is made of. It would be great. God Bless.
THANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!

It would help my day-to-day life because I would give it to my husband to replace the incredibly slow desktop with which he currently struggles. I’d be happy, he’d be happy!
A new Intel Core processor laptop would certainly speed up my computer time. My PC has gotten so bogged down and out of date that it takes full minutes bottle-necked while trying to start Windows. Much worse is that I have to be careful how many applications I am running at the same time.

WOW I have been talking about getting one, this would be great, I could roam around instead of being at the desktop.
Thanks for the chance….

I love having multiple things going on my computer and get impatient when it then runs slow, so that would be nice.
My husband is starting school in January and it would help with that. Plus faster bill paying, surfing, shopping, blogging. The possibilities are endless.
A faster laptop would help with my photography business, both in uploading the photos from the camera and in processing them.

It would really help me get school work done faster if I had my own computer. I would use the giftcard towards a computer.
I get on the computer everyday doing homework and getting home school assignments for my daughter. At times I will have so many tabs open trying to get the information I need that it slows down my computer or a few times it has crashed it. I also love my blogs. I read and enter giveaways and like interacting with my favorite blog writers. I also do my own writings. I am writing a book, a novel.. so I am always researching something I have in mind to write about and I write poetry and song lyrics. My son is a musician and I will work with him on music he is collaborating on. I have one of his original songs playing in the background now. besides all that, I work on a horse ranch and manage all the supplies and feeding so I am always doing inventories and logging in supplies and equipment. Recently, I acquired a couple of estate bundles that I am putting into my personal inventory for sale on eBay. eBay is new to me so I am on a learning curve there and doing a lot of research to make sure I am doing things the smart way. a faster processor and new tools on a new computer could help me tremendously. With so many varied interests and projects I could use a little organizational help and a little more speed to handle everything I have going on at one time. One day I hope I can have my own blog. I love to write and people seem to be interested in what I have to say. I am making loads of friends on blog sites and love the blogging community. Thanks for the opportunity!!

It would help my day-to-day life by freeing up all the time I spent waiting for my laptop to do something or to cool off after overheating. The more reviews I read the more this Intel laptop is starting to sound like a miracle machine. 🙂
The Intel Core Processor would help me have a computer that woke up quicker and did more things at the same time.

I would love to win this. Giveaway. I think winning the laptop would me in many ways. I started going into photography and seeing what this monster can do I would love for it to help me with my photography, (aside from taking a few classes LOL).
