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 help my life because a) my computer is dying. b) my daughter’s computer just died a week ago. and c) I need something faster and I love to have a bout a dozen tabs open so this would be for me.

love the multi tasking!!!! and photo edit
Such and sweet and sexy processor would help me process photos faster, which means getting tasks done faster! 🙂
wow! I love this site! former southerner living in LA 🙂
thanks for the review!
More creative time!! If I had a non-employer provided laptop – I could work on my creative projects anywhere, anytime!
I could really use a new laptop. Mine was ruined by a guy who was stalking me and put a nasty little thing on it to track everything I did (including passwords)
A new processor laptop would mean…I can watch my soap opera faster! LOL…I wish! nah…it would probably help me be more efficience on editing photos and writing my food blog.
I work for myself, from home, and a new Intel Core processor laptop help me be able to multi-task much better with out locking up my system.
My laptop is slowly dying, and I have to get up and do other stuff while I’m waiting for it to open stuff…this laptop would streamline things so much!

It would be so nice to have a computer with enough capacity to open more than one app at a time. 🙂
maybe i could get more done if the system wasn’t constantly bogged down
WWWOOOWWWEEE!! Yes I am that excited about the Intel® Core™ i5 processor!!!! The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology feature seems great to me. That means I would be able to go from simple tasks like producing documents in word to watching my favorite shows on the computer and probably not even notice speed was increased to handle the job! Whoo hoo!!

A new Intel processor would definitely help me research and type my college essays quicker. I often run multiple programs at once, including iTunes, so a faster processor would definitely make things easier!

Thanks
The i5 processor in a new laptop would help my day to day life by eliminating much of the frustration and loss of time that I experience from using a slow, sluggish computer. As much as I am on the computer, that is no small thing.
