What fun it has been playing with my new Intel® Core™ i5 processor. It really takes multi-tasking to a new level. I started using my new laptop to just update Picky Palate, then I started using the computer to store all of my photos and recipes. It really is easy to pop back and forth to each window and put multi-tasking to good work! Each time I use my processor I find more reasons I love it.
My husband set up the Intel® wireless display (aka WiDi) so I could use my TV as a monitor and talk about cool! I still get a kick out of seeing my website up on my television screen. It’s quite impressive and comfortable to be able to sit on the couch and get my work done with my TV screen as the monitor.
Here is some information about the Intel Core i5 Processor.

The first thing I would buy with that AWESOME gift card is an iPod that plays videos! I’ve been wanting one for SO long now!
A wii or a new camcorder
Hmm, this is a bit of a toughie! I’d definitely pick something both my husband and I can use or enjoy. Maybe an ipad or the complete Collection of The Soprano’s DVDs 🙂
Good luck to all!
I would buy some form of computer, our desktop has been having issues
a Wii … I think we are one of the very few families without one
I would start my Christmas shopping for my boys.
I would buy games!
An awesome SD card (and some other fun accessories–maybe a new lens?) for my Nikon d60!
I’d put it towards a camera or a new laptop.
I’m following! I would use the $250 gift card on a new computer .. I like my mac but it’s a little to much for what I need. I’m looking to sell my mac and buy a more basic computer soon.
The first thing I would buy is a netbook for my husband. He’s a Marine, and lately he’s been stationed in a lot of different places where a desktop computer isn’t an option. Love your blog!
I’ve been wanting a nice new camera with all the bells and whistles…that would be first on my list!:)
First thing I would buy: a new cell phone. Man the thing I have is totally unreliable and junky! I’d top that off with a few more seasons of CSI.. and some movies I’ve had my eye on!
I would buy an SLR camera! I’ve been dying for one!! 🙂
Decisions… the practical side of me says I should put it towards a new refrigerator as mine is making odd noises that can’t be a sign of anything good to come. However, I really, really want a DSLR camera so forget practical… I’d use the gift card for the camera!
I would buy a D-SLR camera so my pictures could be as amazing as yours 🙂
I followed the link and gave my info…
I would use it towards a new camera for my hubby!
I would use the Best Buy gift card on a new HD Flip Cam!

Ohhh, I would finally buy myself a new camera!
I would use it for camera lenses to snap pics of my adorable little goobers!
I’m in desperate need of a new laptop. That would definitely be first on the list.
I would, ironically, buy a new computer with an i5 processor (which is what I’ve been looking at). Either a laptop or an iMac. Our desktop is nine (NINE!!!) years old!
I would get some wii or ds games that my kids have on their Christmas lists.
I would buy an iTouch for my hubby’s Christmas present!! He would LOVE that! Thank you!
Ooh tough one… Either a new lens or a netbook. I’d have to flip for it.
This would go right towards a new camera. A big happy Nikon with a great lense. Oh heavenly!
