I LOVE my laptop powered by the Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Intel® Wireless Display (aka WiDi)

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER ...Thank you for participating.

I never knew how useful a laptop would be until receiving this brand new laptop with the Intel® Core™ i5 processor from BlogHer {Thanks guys!}. It is literally making my life 10 times easier and I just LOVE it!




I've been uploading all my videos and photos onto it because my desktop is at full capacity and when I'm sick of sitting at my desk in my office, I can continue to get work done out in the living room lounging next to my husband {the processor is mighty quick and can handle a bunch of programs running at once}. I LOVE the embedded, or built in, Intel® Wireless Display (aka WiDi) via Intel —a technology that allows you to stream any form of media to your HDTV, wirelessly -used with the Netgear adaptor. It's really fun to watch videos on my 60" TV instead of the small computer monitor and in HD! However, I have to save the videos to my hard drive first because for some reason, I'm booted offline when Netgear is connecting.





Starting and setting up the laptop was easy and to the point {which I wasn't expecting} and it took me through each of the steps quickly. I was confused a bit about the Best Buy software installer that kept popping up so I Googled it to see if it was necessary and found out it wasn't and turned off its updates {sorry Best Buy, but that was annoying!}. I also have had entire computers get eaten alive by using Internet Explorer so I quickly installed Firefox and shut down Explorer for good.





I love the way it looks. It's so pretty and shiny and blue, it looks like my Black Widow Halloween costume ...and I LOVE the backlit keyboard. It looks fantastic in our newly decorated Rock n' Roll video game room and will take a permanent position on the golden stump.


Now what's in it for YOU ...your very own chance to win a $250 gift card to Best Buy!
