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.

I would buy a flip video camera and a Wii fit so I can get some exercise this winter! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I need a new wireless router. I’m running to many wireless things and my old router is pretty slow. How fun to see your blog on a big screen.

I think I would get a new ipod since mine is ancient in ipod years.
I would get my little girl a new laptop or put the money toward a new stove we need a new one bad.

I would buy a new digital point and shoot camera. Mine is so crappy that I never take it anywhere.
I think I would get a speaker for our TV. It’s not very loud, and my husband has been obsessing over speakers for the past few months.

I would totally buy my boyfriend a new car stereo. His wont play his ipod anymore and he is really missing it.
I would use it towards a lap top – I’m starting school again and this would really help!!
I would probably put the girt card toward a new computer for my husband.
I’d love to use it on something fun like a new camera, however, I’m afraid my dishwasher has run it’s last load. So therefore, I would buy a new dishwasher!!!
I would use the gift card to purchase my graduating daughter a new laptop.
I would put the money towards buying my husband a new TV. He really wants a flat screen, ours is about 15 years old and doesn’t have the greatest picture.
I would buy a laptop with a web cam as I will be relocating from Minnesota to Southern Arizona for a clinical rotation for Physical Therapy school and will be away from my hubby for 8 weeks! I would love an easy way to stay in touch with him without racking up our cell phone bill.
I would love to buy my hubby a new laptop because his is getting so old and slow. I don’t know how he can stand it and just like the comment above me, he won’t spend money on himself so this would be something nice I could do for him.
I’d love one of those Flip video cameras to capture all my LO’s antics!
Oh my gosh…I just learned how to text and use an Ipod. I would buy an Ipod for myself and listen to music and books.

the first thing i would buy is a decent camera so i can FINALLY capture all those special memories! i’m the worst at taking pictures… just ask my mom! in mocking mom voice: “how come you never take pictures of the kids?” or “i sure wish i had a picture i could show people”…

I would put it toward a camera
How to choose? Well, maybe a new DVD player since mine doesn’t work well and is ANCIENT!
Definitely a flat screen TV for our bedroom so we can take the non-flat screen monstrosity off of our dresser.
I’d use it to buy a laptop, of course I’d have to add my own money, but it would be a help to have the extra $$$$$$………or I’d let my son and hubby buy movies to enjoy during the long cold winters
I would give it to my husband to buy whatever he wanted with it since that is one of his favorite stores.
I would buy my daughter an ipod touch, it’s the only thing on her christmas list so far, I’m finding harder to buy presents for them as they get older she’s 13 and they always want the more expensive things!
I would definitely put it toward a new laptop!!
I would buy a new Macbook Pro! I will be starting grad school in a few months and desperately need a new laptop!
I would buy a new vaccum!

If I won the 250 dollar gift card to best buy, I would probably use it to buy christmas presents for my family. Probably some Apple products or DVDs!
