The Intel® Core™ i5 processor Giveaway!

BlogHer Reviewer

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.

I will NOT be giving away a laptop, but a $250 giftcard to Best Buy.

Giveaways are from BlogHer and not Intel.

    A new laptop with Intel i5 would help me to be able to work, listen to music, browse the net, and even use Photoshop all at the same time! 😉 Plus I bet it would make Skype even better. Thanks!!

    My time on the computer would go faster so maybe I would have a cleaner house or maybe I would just do more on the computer~

    I do a lot of photo and video editing and it would be so much faster if I didn’t have to wait as long for my edits to save. Could save me an hour a day!

    getting a laptop would help me connect with my husband better – since his computer is dying and im afraid it will completely die before he goes on deployment, i would get him a new laptop!

    I would use it to start my own blog – as well as my own online bakery business. I have a full-time job and of course can’t use that computer for personal blogging or outside business ventures, and my home computer is older and not up to the task.

    It would make organizing and editing pictures of my new grandbabies so much easier.

    While pretty much my entire life is already organized on the computer, having a faster one would let me let me complete my “have-to-do” things more quickly so I could have more free time for things I really want to do.

    Having a new Intel Core processor laptop would help your day to day life by letting me download so many items so much quicker. I download lots of photos and right now it takes so long. Having a quicker processor would really help me out.
    Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway.

    I am a total multi-tasker. You have to be when you are a single dad. It has been hard and somewhat restrictive, but totally worth it. You also need to schedule time for play otherwise we all go insane.

    THANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!
