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!

Work & Play.
I run cribbage tournaments on my laptop!
I spent most of my time on the computer doing work…and occassionaly reading cooking blogs like yours!
I spend a ton of the time on the internet, blogging, reading food blogs, looking things up on google (mostly food things), checking my email, etc. Also listening to music, editing photos, etc. I spend a lot of time on my computer!
I definitely spend time on the internet playing – blogs, shopping, etc.
I spend most of it reading other blogs or news sites.
Great giveaway!
I spend the majority of my time designing products for the digital scrapbooking community so I’m always on my computer. I also enjoy interacting on Twitter, Facebook, my blog and various forums.
All three!
I use my computer to do work as I’m a Pampered Chef consultant, Facebook, email, play games, download Itunes, email my husband when he’s away with the Navy, let the kids go to spelling city and such for school, etc. Lots happening on our computer!
Since I’m retired, most of my time on the computer is what I guess you’d consider surfing the web … reading blogs, shopping online, e-mailing friends & family, etc.
Thanks!
Facebook. Blogs. Disney Travel Agent Stuff.
I use my computer for a little bit of everything… Blogging for starters!
I followed the link and provided my email address.

I read food blogs and work at my computer
Most of my computer time is spent getting school work for the kids.
I followed the link above and entered my email and response.
I should say mostly work, but I find myself catching up on the blogs I follow a tad bit more.
Surfing and blogging!
I read email, blogs and surf the net about equally.
I am a full time college student, so I spend most of my time researching and doing homework.
I must admit that I am a twitter addict!
I run a Wedding Announcement Design business, and so I spend a lot of time working on the computer. However, I get my fair share of blogging in! (I also love to watch movies on Netflix Instant Play while I am doing either of those things.)
Thank you!
I spend most of my time on the computer reading blogs and catching up on my friends on fb. This is how I unwind at the end of a long day.
I spend most of my time reading blogs and researching various topics
I really just use my computer for reading blogs and wasting time! This computer might just free up some more time for all my chores!
I love checking blogs and getting good ideas for dinner, my home and fun craft projects. My time on the computer is 100% play time.
mostly use my computer for work but love the distraction the internet provides!
I spend most of my time working on my computer, at work and at home.
Wish I had a laptop!
Surfing the internet, and reading blogs!
I spend my computer time in blog land, email, an online biology class, and working on Cub Scout stuff. Once in a while I surf the net just for fun!
Spend most of my time surfing the internet. Thanks!
I spend my computer time reading emails mostly and Facebook is a close second. I would love to be entered to win the gift card! Thanks!
About 50/50 with editing photos and reading various blogs & sites on the internet. I would so love to win this!
Mainly work but i sneak in time to read my foodie blogs
I spend most of my time online for ‘play’ – usually that means facebooking or blog-reading!
I wish I could say that I do something productive but I usually use the computer in brief spurts to check email and catch up with friends.
I spend most of my time on the computer on Facebook and various cooking blogs.
I spend most of my time blog stocking, facebook or looking for new recipes to try
I mostly keep in touch with family and friends. I do enjoy some free time every now and then to surf the net when my five little guys are busy.
I am always blogging, reading, or shopping!
I spend most of my online time reading blogs. It’s an easy distraction while nursing!
I tend to play – reading facebook and blogs. But I also do some volunteer work by being the administrator of a non-profit’s bulletin board.
I spend lots of time editing photos!
Sadly the majority of my computer time is work. 8 hours during the day at my main job and then another 1-2 hours at night after my son goes to sleep for my 2nd job. Tough times call for desperate measures.
I read blogs for the most part..and also pay my bills…blah!:(
I work from home, so I mostly work on my computer. Of course, a good portion of my time on the computer also goes to reading blogs!
I spend most of my time at school doing work. At home, I surf the web. Not too much gameplaying. Do that on the iPad.
I would love to say I spend most of it working…but that would be a big FAT lie! Editing and for formatting pictures and then blogging about them definitely takes up most of my computer time.
Blogging, which is playing. Way too much time.
(This would be faster so therefore less time, right?)
I spend most of my time surfing the internet, reading blogs, such as yours and e-mailing and facebook!!
