Intel Core i5 processor Review and Win a $250 Gift Card to Best Buy!
Reviews |
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
Let’s face it, life is busy. We, or maybe I should say “I” feel like I am always running around with my family just hoping to get everything I need to get done every single day. As a mom of 2 busy little boys, a wife, a recipe developer, website author and new cookbook writer, it is so very important for me to multi-task and use wise time management otherwise I am in big trouble.
I find it helpful to write down my responsibilities each week on paper so I can see them along with having family meetings so we are all on the same page then try to multi-task every chance I get.
When I come across things that make my life easier….and faster I am all ears.
I was selected by BlogHer and Intel to review a new computer powered by the Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Turbo Boost Technology that allows me to get more done in less time. Talk about excitement when I heard those words! The laptop is beautiful. I quickly opened the box and set it up all by myself. For someone who knows the bare minimum about running computers, I must say I was relieved how easy it was to get started.
An Intel® wireless display (akaWiDi) adaptor was also sent that allows me to use my HDTV a monitor. How cool is that? I can work on my blog or type recipes on the big screen in my living room. I can NOT wait to get playing on this new computer. Stay tuned to hear more about my experience!

I spend most of my time keeping up with family and friends who live across the country (blogs, facebook, email, etc.).
I spend most of my time working & reading blogs & playing in photoshop!
You always have great giveaways! I tweeted this one. http://twitter.com/#!/BarbaraBakes/status/4950285558484992
work, play and searching for really good recipes!
I use my computer for everything- blogging, email, photo editing, journaling, budgeting… Etc. !
I am constantly looking up recipes. I love trying new recipes! I love Picky Palate!
I probably spend about 2/3 of my time working and the rest reading about sports online!
Definitely play! Reading and writing blogs, searching for recipes, etc.
Most of my time is spent designing digital cards, candy wrappers, etc. that I sell at craft fairs. I follow a few blogs but not that many. I limit my time with the blogs because they can become an obsession and rob you with time from family and other important tings. I do follow Picky Palate every day tho.
I spend most of my time on the computer either reading blog, I love all the unique recipes that come out of them!
It’s about 50/50. Half work, half play!
I mostly work on my computer, but throw in some facebook and blog reading occassionally. And recipe-searching!
At home, I spend most of my time on the internet (blog and email) but at work it’s about 50/50 (:

Blogging, working and reading other blogs.
I use my computer mostly for work. If I had a faster computer, maybe I’d use it more for play too – but use my iPhone for most of that
I spend way too much reading blogs – oh well.
Mostly personal. Blogs, recipe collecting, email, etc.
I spend most of my time working!!! I run an online boutique so I’m always checking emails, responding to customers and keeping my store fresh and current
