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

Winning a new computer or a gift certificate to put on one would help my family out alot. We have one but all of us has business to take care of and we have to share. My daughter will be going to college in 2012 and we have got to find one before then. The computer and internet is very helpful in many ways and we enjoy it. I will add you to my sidebar and post this. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Getting a new Intel Core processor laptop could help me in my day to day life because I could learn to do photo editing with it. I’m not very computer literate, and this would hopefully help! Thanks, Rhoda.
Rhoda!
Just came back from posting to the BlogHer website!! This is all so fun!
Would love to win one of your Best Buy gift cards!!
Love, hugs & Happy Thanksgiving!

I would love to win the Best Buy gift card. I recently lost my Ipod and I’ve been lost without it. Plus I could buy my hubby something too.
A laptop that can handle photo editing would be so amazing! When blogging, I spend more time working at a snail’s pace with my photos than anything else. It’d be great to have more time to respond to more comments and be out taking more photos!

Winning would make my life easier because it’s really hard for me to focus on writing posts for my blog because my desktop pc sits in the middle of my living room which is Grand Central Stattion 🙂
Winning the Best Buy gift card would help me buy a laptop. Maybe then I could start a blog of my own!
I would love to win the Best Buy gift card! I could get my husband a super sweet present!
Oh a faster computer would be wonderful and maybe I could have a laptop to myself then 🙂
well, it would get me off the computer quicker, so I could have more time for cooking and cleaning! 🙂
thanks!

I would LOVE to have a laptop… what a fabulous giveaway!!
With 3 little boys to chase after I don’t have much time to do things so anything that can help me get work done faster would be the biggest help of all!
Hi Rhoda, what a great giveaway. Thanks a bunch!!! I would love to have that fast laptop for photo editing to. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I would love to win the Best Buy gift card!! I have a very old computer that is creaking along. I need to replace it soon and this would help. Love your blog.
I’d love to win!
It would be great to have an intel core processor that was for me! and not something that was shared with kids and husband. I could keep up with my multi-tasking and find a more organized way to balance life, work, kids, house!!!
This computer would help me check out all my favorite blogs in lightning speed so I could do it during my baby’s naps!

Oh, that Best Buy gift card would come in handy! Would love to win this!!
I teach music lessons from my home. Often there are songs my students want to learn and a laptop is a great way to look up the audio file on line so I can hear it. In addition, I have large sheet music files and music programs on my main PC and run to my office to get them where a dedicated laptop is so much easier.
