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.

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.

Wow, it sure would be nice to have a computer that didn’t crash all the time!!
Winning a new laptop would mean I could actually blog more! My husband tends to hog the computer a bit at home.
My laptop died about a year ago, so I’m stuck at my desk all day. A laptop would give me more mobility and allow me to work anyplace I can get WiFi.

It would help me because I’m a professional video editor – fast computers are a requirement!
I love the speed so I’d be able to get my computer work done faster and spend more time with the kids.
Awesome blog and thanks for the giveaway!
Would love, love, LOVE to win this!
Happy holidays!

This would make downloading so much fasther.
I imagine I can get things done faster and more efficiently.
I’ve never used a laptop, so it would definitely make my work portable!
This would help me multi-task…the computer I have now is so old it can barely keep 2 internet tabs open. This would be a huge change.
I am working on writing a novel so the speed and the storage are really important to me, a new computer would help with both
Having the new Intel Core processor laptop would help me out immensely by allowing me both multitask and run multiple programs simultaneously (which my current PC doesn’t have the power or the RAM to do, which means having to choose between using Word or PowerPoint, for example) and being able to work on the go and to set up shop no matter where I am (work, home, a coffee shop, the airport, etc.). I’d no doubt be a lot more productive, efficient, and happy as a result!

I have a home based business, and I’d like to be able to do my daily computing tasks quicker with a new Intel Core Processor, such as accounting, payroll, and managing orders.
I would put the new laptop on top of my treadmill so I could use the Internet while I worked out which would encourage me to exercise more.

My laptop is over 6 years old, and I multitask constantly. Getting a new Intel core processor laptop would improve and speed up my computer time immensely.
If I were to win this giftcard, I’d put it towards a new laptop.
It would help me to multi-task without crashing my computer several times per day!
