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.

I would buy a printer. I really need a new one, so I can print off all my coupons!
I would probably put the $250 toward an intel i5 processor computer or a new camera that would take wonderful photos for my new and upcoming blog!!
I would love to win this for my 10 year old niece. She has endured alot this past year, her mother moved to another state and left her behind with my brother, her Father!! who loves her so very much. He struggles with her heart break over her mother. We all love her so much. Her big dream is to have a laptop to be able to play Facebook with her moms side of the family!

We really want a PS3 this Christmas but money is tight, so it would guarantee that we could go to Best Buy and purchase one for underneath our tree. My children don’t get a lot for Christmas but I told them if at all possible I would get a PS3 for everyone to share. They would love playing the games.. I would love the Blu-Ray capability.
I would use it to buy a laptop for college next year!
I can think of several things I want. I NEED a new computer and the money could go towards that. I want a new point and shoot camera to drag places with me. I want a new FLIP camera since my son dumped a cup of coffee on mine and ruined it.
A new laptop would be nice, but they have so many things, I really have no idea what I would buy first!

I would buy a Wii
What a great start to replacing my computer that’s on the fritz!! 🙂 Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I would use it for my nephew whose family has been hit hard in this economic downturn. I feel that it is my responsibility to make sure he goes to college even though his parents can’t afford it anymore. This gift card will come in handy to buy the necessary electronics like a netbook. God Bless!
THANKS for the AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!
