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
This is a sponsored post with BlogHer and you’ve already heard the GREAT news! I will be giving away a $250 giftcard to Best Buy for one of YOU and there are other chances to win on the round-up page below. Be sure and sign up at all of them to maximize your chances.

It would help me analyze data more quickly in lab.
WOW! THE SHOPPING I COULD DO WITH THAT BEST BUY GIFT CARD. THANKS FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE TO WIN THIS. I ALSO ENJOY YOUR BLOG
I wouldn’t have to worry so much, because now I am using my work laptop for everything because my desktop is broken, and I really need to take this one back to work!
It would help me by making things faster and my life so much easier!
I would be able to take my laptop to work with me and do my blogging on my breaks. That would be wonderfuL!

the faster processor will allow me to get more done faster, so i won’t miss any deadlines
Oh goodness, as a family of 4, we are starting to need a second laptop and we can give our old, slow laptop to the kids. I could get more done – no more waiting for my “turn” on the laptop or waiting for my slow laptop to catch up with me!
I wouldn’t have to waste precious time rebooting

I wouldn’t always have to reboot!!!
I read the official rules!!!
well, i could do more on the computer so that would be great. i am a bit addicting to computing you see, the amount of time I spend on the internet is a bit wild. i probably wouldn’t spend less time, but I’d get more done!
Homework! As a newly single mom returning to school to finish my degree, anything that would help get this homework done faster would be a blessing!
Everyday life!
Just to get the to-do list done faster and have a little me time – what a luxury!
