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

Hi Rhoda, I. Am. A. Lurker. If there were a 12-step program for visiting blogs, I would be there. I would love to enter your best buy givaway. You’ve even compelled me to create my own blogher account so I could enter the Intel giveaway-would love to put my laptop out of it’s misery. Who knows, I may even jump in to blogging with my eyes wide shut!
Count me in!!!! 🙂
I too need extra speed and room for my photo editing as my current computer is so slow! I know this stems from age, and is further complicated by the tools/programs being used. It would be a relief to have a newer model with all the bells and whistles!
What a great Christmas gift this would be!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway! If I had one of these super cool laptops I could take it from room to room to work while I chase my two wild little girls. Thanks!
Enter me please, I need a new lappy SOOOO bad!! So fun! Facebooking now about it! 🙂
My desk top is about to bite the dust. I would be thrilled to have a brand new laptop to replace my old computer!
Oh I would love the i5!! I like to see what new technology is out there but it can get quite expensive for retired persons!
I would love to win this fabulous prize as my daughter’s was stolen and she needs one desperately for college. I would love to replace hers for her.
What a great giveaway. We are a house full of techies!
Anything to speed up and streamline my work would be appreciated.
My husband and I are both attempting to complete our degrees online, so this would really come in handy right now. He has his laptop that his job provided him with, but due to the fact that the other computer we have at home (provided by my job) seems to be on it’s last foot, we could surely use this. Thanks!
I would love to break in my digital scrapbook software!
I use my computer for everything – staying in touch, banking, shopping, and more! It is dying, however, and hums and groans and freezes up constantly. It is pretty old now, so I am no surprised. I would love to win a new one!
I would be able to work remotely more efficiently. Right now I split office and home time on two pc’s and am constantly emailing data back and forth. Would be so nice to have all in one place!
There is only one computer in our family of 4! I would love to have one of my very own!
having a new lap top would helo my day to day life by making me mobile and able to just pick up and go , as I can take my lap top with me and be out and about and still be connected to important internet stuff
have a pink rainbow day everyone
Having this computer would make the little daily tasks on the computer go by faster. It would also be nice to make things like phone lists and lists of things that I usually get at the grocery to speed up those things as well.
Gosh I would love to win a lap top. I borrow my husband’s work one–he would like for me to give it back, he is sick of looking for it!
I’ve been suffering withdrawal since my laptop went caput! Many tears have been shed since it died.
