This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
Let’s face it, life is busy. We, or maybe I should say “I” feel like I am always running around with my family just hoping to get everything I need to get done every single day. As a mom of 2 busy little boys, a wife, a recipe developer, website author and new cookbook writer, it is so very important for me to multi-task and use wise time management otherwise I am in big trouble.
I find it helpful to write down my responsibilities each week on paper so I can see them along with having family meetings so we are all on the same page then try to multi-task every chance I get.
When I come across things that make my life easier….and faster I am all ears.
I was selected by BlogHer and Intel to review a new computer powered by the Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Turbo Boost Technology that allows me to get more done in less time. Talk about excitement when I heard those words! The laptop is beautiful. I quickly opened the box and set it up all by myself. For someone who knows the bare minimum about running computers, I must say I was relieved how easy it was to get started.
An Intel® wireless display (akaWiDi) adaptor was also sent that allows me to use my HDTV a monitor. How cool is that? I can work on my blog or type recipes on the big screen in my living room. I can NOT wait to get playing on this new computer. Stay tuned to hear more about my experience!

Lots of learning – from reading blogs, to photog forums, to digi scrapping forums, etc…
I use the computer for blogging and work and emails…lots of all.
Mostly play- checking blogs, email and designing flyers or invitations 🙂
Always on the computer. Work, bills, surfing the internet, you name it.
i tweeted!
i mostly surf!
I mostly check Facebook and search for different recipes and other stuff I need info on. I also upload photos and my computer is very outdated and slow. I would love to have a new one. Thanks for the opportunity to get one.
I use the internet for work. I also surf the web alot and do most of my Christmas shopping online. I have 3 boys that would LOVE to get a couple new games at best buy!!!
Google Reader & surfing the internet :)!
Keeping in touch with family or finding new recipes to try.
I spend alot of time reading blogs (Google Reader) but I also do research for the kids homeschool assignments.
I spend most of my time reading blogs!
Playing and surfing the internet (mostly looking up new recipes. lol).
Well, its a toss up between work and facebook (probably a little too much of facebook).
I mostly use it to read blogs and find deals 🙂

about 50% work 50% personal. lol
I work at the computer alllllllll day… and then surf the net a little while I’m watching TV at night after the girls go to bed!
I spend most of my time surfing the internet, reading blogs, such as yours and e-mailing and facebook!!
Blogging, which is playing. Way too much time. 🙂 (This would be faster so therefore less time, right?)
I would love to say I spend most of it working…but that would be a big FAT lie! Editing and for formatting pictures and then blogging about them definitely takes up most of my computer time.
I spend most of my time at school doing work. At home, I surf the web. Not too much gameplaying. Do that on the iPad.
I work from home, so I mostly work on my computer. Of course, a good portion of my time on the computer also goes to reading blogs!
I read blogs for the most part..and also pay my bills…blah!:(
Sadly the majority of my computer time is work. 8 hours during the day at my main job and then another 1-2 hours at night after my son goes to sleep for my 2nd job. Tough times call for desperate measures.
I spend lots of time editing photos!
I tend to play – reading facebook and blogs. But I also do some volunteer work by being the administrator of a non-profit’s bulletin board.
I spend most of my online time reading blogs. It’s an easy distraction while nursing!
I am always blogging, reading, or shopping!
I mostly keep in touch with family and friends. I do enjoy some free time every now and then to surf the net when my five little guys are busy.
I spend most of my time blog stocking, facebook or looking for new recipes to try
I spend most of my time on the computer on Facebook and various cooking blogs. 😉
I wish I could say that I do something productive but I usually use the computer in brief spurts to check email and catch up with friends.
I spend most of my time online for ‘play’ – usually that means facebooking or blog-reading!
Mainly work but i sneak in time to read my foodie blogs
