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.

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I’d probably get a netbook for my kids to use.
I’d get the Kinect for our Xbox
I would buy a gift for my husband.
I would get a new washing machine. AWESOME I KNOW!
I would so buy a new camera! And hopefully a tripod to go with it. I would just love to be able to take better pictures of my daughter!
I would probably run straight for the video game section and scoop up a Kinect to play with my family. My son really wants one (and I’ve been trying hard to win one for a family Christmas present!) and it would be so great to see the look on his face when he opened that one up!
Maybe a new Flip video camera. They look so cool, Thanks for the giveaway.
