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 need to be more organized because my head is swimming! I’m so confused right now. I know we can only leave two comments for two entries–however, it is acceptable to leave two comments on each post (your previous one and this one), isn’t it? I sure hope so. Thanks for the giveaway.

My aging Core 2 Duo PC can use a little boost from the new-generation i5. Working with i5 can be faster and more enjoyable!
A faster laptop will hep me multitask and make blogging easier!

A faster processor means I can “google” faster lol
Faster processor means more speed, less app hang and more contest entries, lol.
Thanks for the review and for hostessing this event.

My laptop is dying a slow death. I had to restart 3 times to get it to load. A new laptop would move me to a new century.
I’d have more time to create a beautiful work environment like yours!
A fast processor would make my life so much better! I am such a multi-tasker and I hate getting the hourglass symbol and having to wait! This $250 would go a long way toward helping me check off a few things on my “technology wish list!”
Thanks for the opportunity!
This would so help me with my multi-tasking!
getting a new laptop would help me in my day to day life by allowing me to enter more sweepstakes with all that speed!
It would allow my husband to entertain himself longer and not get so frustrated with his computer. Sharing pic’s and video with family along with chat would be great

Having a new laptop would help me so much in my day to day life. I have trouble with time management, and this seem like to perfect tool to help a girl like me! my boyfriend is also an extremely talented photographer, and I could see him falling in love with the laptop’s photo capabilities.
This is just awesome! Can you say covet? I’m drooling over that laptop!
My current machine is an Acer Netbook (looks like yours in the picture). I love it….but baby, it’s slooooow!
I could totally get crazy uploading videos and pictures for my blog!
Getting a new laptop would be great for me, as i do so much on the computer, i could use more processing speed.
