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.

    I had to read this a couple of times because I couldn’t believe it. The gift card, a laptop? That is amazing. If I were lucky enough to win, it would be shared with our son who needs a computer to help with school work. Thanks for the chance.

    My computer has done well, but it definitely slows down when I have too many things going on! My dh gets annoyed by the way I open so many programs at once, but it’s the way I do things. It would really help me hop on for just a minute, get stuff done, and then get on with my day, to have a faster computer.

    It would help me get twice as much done just with its extra speed alone! That would help so much.

    It would help my life bunches in that it’s fast and efficient (as opposed to this old hog I’m working on now)…and it’s a laptop.

    I’ve never had a laptop. Always a desktop. Yikes!

    Thank you.

    I would love to get a new computer! Mine is so old. I bought it in 2005. That’s like ancient in computer years. 🙂

    The biggest help this would provide would be to help me manage LOTS of open windows, uploads/downloads with much better and faster performance!

    We have one computer and try to be kind to each other and give equal time to those who need it. It seems the both of us and our children and grandchildren want to work (or play) at the same time, I would love to have one of my own.
