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.

    a laptop that had the power to process music recording and mixing would be an awesome thing!

    the $250 gift card would more than likely go for a new kinetic and games! (because fun is always needed)

    I have been longing for a laptop for my kitchen – I hate having to run from the computer to the kitchen and back again when I am cooking.

    With a new processor and laptop, maybe I wouldn’t have to suffer through system crashes (I do have a lot of tabs open simultaneously most times)

    I’m constantly watching tv shows and movies online. It would be awesome to watch these shows on the big screen if I get a new Intel Core processor laptop.

    I’d like to use it for my parents’ new computer. It would definitely help us all stay connected and complete tasks more easily.

    A faster computer would be so nice. Mine is so slow it takes forever to get anything accomplished. Just think of all the new blogs I could read!

    After hearing about all that this new laptop can do, I’m convinced that it’s going to make my digital scrapbooking and photography editing a whole lot faster! : )

    This will save me time and my hair, since I am always pulling it out when my current laptop becomes slow. I could also do photo edting easier!

    Getting a new lap top would change my day to day life because I would have more time for other things. Having a fast computer that I wouldn’t have to share with anyone else would let me get a lot more done.

    I’d be able to start editing our photos and home videos; my current pc dogs and can’t handle larger files without freezing. I’ve got so many photos I want to be able to edit and share with extended family. Maybe I’ll even be able to finally upload a video to YouTube..something my pc has never, ever been able to do.
