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.

Winning this gift card would help me so much. I stayed hidden in my home for almost four years due to being embarrassed about my weight and not wanting anyone to see me. I started losing weight and my outtings would be riding around back roads taking pictures. I found a love of something! Now I’ve lost a little over 200 hundred pounds and I LOVE taking photos. I would use the gift card towards the laptop or a digital camera.
I would use the gift card to buy a new DVD player. Our old one really needs replacing. What a great giveaway! I’m going over to enter for the laptop next.
Thanks Rhonda!
Getting a new laptop would be wonderful! I am currently a student and I work full time and it would make my life so much easier if I had a new computer it would be faster than mine right now and it would help me get things done faster and on time for once!

I won’t have to get up too early.
Oh, I would love to win this giftcard! I could use some software…or would I buy games for my boys for Christmas. I would spend it, that’s for sure!
Getting a new Intel Core processor laptop would help my day to day life simply by the fact that I don’t have a laptop. If I had laptop with a fast Intel Core processor I could check my email through out the day when I’m not near my desktop computer and I could work on Microsoft Office applications, as well.
Not waiting forever for a page to come up!
Faster loading pages, means more work getting done away from the computer….and I might even learn to photo edit with a new one!! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Oh’ Rhonda, this would make my life so much simpler. We currently share a computer and we are both home together all the time. It’s very difficult sharing since he needs to be online so much. Also I would love to be able to take it to bed before falling asleep. I use to read magazines to fall asleep and there are so many things I would like to read online but laying down when it’s quiet and I can concentrate.
Thanks for a chance to win my dream prize.
Hugs…Tracy 🙂

Awesome, thanks for the chance to win!
Hey There
Love your blog….
I love to scrapbook and make cards. Oh and the things I could do!
That laptop would be such a greatful gift!
Having this new Intel Core Processor would definitely make my daily chores go smoother. I would be able to plan out which of my kids is going to take on which chore! Pick meeee Intel 🙂
How awesome would it be to have a faster – better processor. I’ve been trying to work not only on a food blog, but a cookbook for friends and family. Slooooowww work on my computer. I am crossing my fingers, toes and everything else that can be crossed.
I would love a laptop! I’m currently using a 3yr. old desktop and I am attending online college. The Intel Core Processor would be so much faster and do so much more than my slow-as-molasses computer. Oh, and to be able to connect computer with television just opens a whole new world 🙂
