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.

My hubby and I were just at Best Buy last night and I finally found a nice media tower that we can get which is in a reasonable price range and holds a fair amount of DVDs (we have a lot) so I’d love to use the giftcard for that… or I could finally get a flash for my Rebel T1i. =]

A laptop. I just got my daughter’s out of Best Buy where they informed me she lost her hard drive. And at around $300 they could fix it. Um, yeah, and I could just get her a new one! 🙂

If I were to win I would head to Best Buy and get myself some sort of Ipod. Yes, I am the only gal left around that doesn’t have an Ipod. 🙂
Such a fun giveaway – thank you for the chance to win!
My laptop just died; this one looks awesome. Would be fun to have $250 to put towards something at Best Buy — I’m tempted to get an iPod touch but given the comp situation it might have to be a new laptop! Thanks for the chance to win.
LOVING this laptop! Color inspires me so way to go, Intel!
