This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
You guys, I use my computer a LOT. And my old computer was constantly warm, even after replacing the cooling system. I just worked it like a farm mule. The new one seems to be doing a better job at keeping up with me.
Things I’ve been doing on my computer, almost always multiple things at a time:
- Updating my address book in Evernote (which I have to do OFTEN with so many Navy friends!)
- Organizing recipes, décor ideas, and craft project plans in Evernote
- Updating my budget in Excel
- Paying my bills online
- Reading blogs online
- Catching up on what my friends and family all over the world have been doing via Facebook
- Writing LOTS of blog posts (Since it’s NaBloPoMo!) with Windows Live Writer
- Skyping with my parents and grandmother
- Checking email and responding
- Using TweetDeck to post photos and updates throughout the day
- Using ACDSee and Photoshop Elements 6.0 to edit photos
- Watching the season finale of Project Runway on Lifetime.com (and I got to use the awesome wireless put-your-computer-stuff-on-your-TV technology! But really, it’s called Intel® Wireless Display, or WiDi for short, and it’s only available with the new Intel® Core™ processors)
- Listening to music on Pandora.com and iTunes
One thing I’ve noticed with the new computer (I guess due to processor speed) is that it takes a LOT less time to boot up the computer, and less time to open and close programs. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but with my old computer, sometimes it would even take several minutes to CLOSE a program. The resulting situation was that I never wanted to close anything I might need again soon, and I didn’t want to reboot because it took so long to start my computer!
Of course, those things were pretty stupid because they only slowed everything down MORE. I knew that intellectually, but I still wanted everything “right there” so didn’t change anything. (I’m a piler, not a filer, and this is one aspect of the sickness – you want everything you might need right at your fingertips.)
With the new computer, since programs open and close so much faster, and I have the ones I use most frequently “pinned” to my taskbar, they ARE “right there” without having to be open all the time. I don’t always have 25 tabs open in Firefox waiting for me to read them (in fact, right now I only have TWO) and I’m not afraid to shut my computer down, since it boots pretty quickly the next time I need it.
Still, with the way I work, I tend to have at least 5 programs running at any given time, and this computer has kept up with me so far!
I especially noticed that the processor speed was faster when I was using ACDSee and Photoshop Elements 6.0 at the same time to edit photos. That ALWAYS made things “not responding” and freeze up on my old computer. This one handles it like a charm.
The Intel® WiDi technology is also pretty cool. It basically shows whatever is on your computer screen, but on your TV (wirelessly!) and plays the audio through the TV’s speakers. I skyped with my dad and saw him on the “big screen” which was awesome. I also watched a couple TV shows that way. It’s not so good if you just want to use the TV as your monitor, because there is a cursor delay of about half a second, which is pretty significant. But if you have a photo slideshow, home videos, TV shows, or Skype, it’s a really cool accessory to be able to use. It only works with the new Intel® Core™ processors though!
Thanks to Intel for the opportunity to try this new technology! Learn more about the Core processors here.
So, I know I’m not the only one who does a million things at once on the computer. Quick, without closing anything, tell me what you have running on your computer right now. How many internet tabs? How many other programs, and what are they?

Ha! I didn’t have to close anything because my ancient computer will not browse the internet without only that open and then only one or two tabs (two right now) at a time. If I need another program and the internet at the same time, I have to do them separately – copy, paste, save, close, open…)Otherwise it crashes or freezes. It takes forever to boot so we just leave it on. Yes, I know.
Seven tabs are open, mostly e-mail accounts and research for work.

22 tabs, because my computer is so slow I open a group of tabs at once and then go do something else (hello, laundry!) while they load. I’m also running a lovely little math program called GeoGebra, which graphs and is useful for algebra, geometry, trig and calculus. It stalls a lot on my old computer, though, so a new laptop would really help me out.

I actually have 13 tabs open on Chrome right now. Some of the tabs are from social networking sites like cafemom I have 5 tabs open for that one because I am in different groups there and that isn’t all. I have windows media player open on the computer,windows task manager,blogher,youtube,google images,Gmail,twitter,walmart,target..e.t.c Oh and I often open new windows.
i have three tabs open right now.
I’ve just got Chrome up, but I’ve got 11 tabs. That’s normal for me. Sometime I have multiple windows too in order to organize all the things I am trying to do.
I would love a laptop. I read blogs all the time!
I have five different internet windows open, no tabs.
4 tabbies and I don’t mean cats. 2 of them are my main email accounts, one is the main page for the blogs that are participating in the contest and last but not least, your blog.
I am running two computers. Desktop on the left hand and laptop on the right hand. I have outlook open on both. Left hand is searching for great contest. Right hand is entering all the blogher contest for 250 gift cards to Best Buy.

I have this one window open. Period. My computer is so slow and old that one, maybe two, is all it can handle or it will freeze. That is hard for me becuase I like to multitask. Some nights I shut down the computer and the next morning is is still on becuase it got stuck trying to turn off. Yeah, it’s bad.

I just closed some tabs so I only have 24 tabs on Firefox open right now. I know I am ridiculous but I go from one website to another when I am researching. I am trying to reduce my tab opening compulsion but I think the only solution is a new computer. I keep reading about the new Intel processor and I would so love to have one in a new computer, my old one wouldn’t support the new processor
So I am going to see Santa and sit on his knee just to make sure he knows exactly what I want for Christmas. I have never been a “ask for something” for Christmas person. I get what I need when I need it so there usually isn’t much for me to ask for. I think this Christmas is an exception. Maybe it is just the timing and not the holiday but all I want for Christmas is a computer with an Intel® Core™ i5 Processor.

I am running Firefix w 5 tabs open. I have hotmail, a coupon link, twitter, swagbucks & your blog. It is really nice that you like your new computer & it is fast, but let me know if that fast keeps up after a while. Seems to me new computers always seem fast, but only for a bit. After you load lots of crap onto them, they run slower too. Recently mine had some issues. After it got fixed, hubby mentioned he loved how fast it was opening, closing & logging off now. That only lasted a few days though & it is back to doing things slow. It seems to be slower the longer I have left something open or the longer since I have rebooted.
Only Firefox and Google Chrome running, but I’ve got ten tabs open in Firefox – Gmail, BlogHer, yours, Google Reader, Sleep training information, Old Navy, Kohls, Huggies diaper deals, etc. Whew. . .

On Chrome – 14 tabs (I’m browsing through craigslist for christmas gifts)
On Firefox – 3 tabs with online lectures
MS Word – Trying to write a paper (but am obviously otherwise preoccupied)
Hah… I have 7 tabs open(down from at least 14 10 minutes ago) and only 4 programs… Firefox, iTunes, a game and my rss reader.
I’ve got four internet tabs open, along with MacGourmet and TextEdit.
currently have outlook, excel, FF with 9 tabs open as well as remote desktop
I just closed a bunch of tabs a bit ago so right now I’ve only got up a word doc that I’m using to save all my favorite grain free recipes on, this tab on your blog, and my husband has up a gun website
Right now I’ve got 4 tabs plus this one. Black Friday deals on mp3′s, my email, Updates to my virus protection, and college website. My computer is about 3 years old and is P.O.K.Y !
Ha Ha, clever question. I have so many tabs open right now it is insane. I could most definitly use a bigger screen though…the notebook just ain’t doing it for me anymore. that sounded inappropriate…totally did not mean it to sound that way.
however…
1. my blog…bc i am always having the blog open starting blogs, finishing blogs, updating the blog, so on and so forth, slight obsession.
2. your site, of course
3. gmail-my email from blogher which led me to you.
4. walmart.com- updating christmas shopping list for kids, its tough on a budget to get what their little hearts desire…but thank goodness they are still little and their things are cheaper then a tv, laptop, iphone, etc…all the things they won’t get which will make me the worse mother ever when they are teenagers.
5. facebok-cause i am nosey like that.
6. evite- a party invite for an ornament exchange my friend is having. of course i said yes, out of the house for the evening without the cling ons.
and that’s it, give me an hour or so…it gets even more random when the babe is napping.

At least 7 tabs open, Skype, Msn, Firefox, Explorer,Word, Blogger, iTune. Hubby always says I abuse my laptop.
Three tabs, Blogher, my email account and you! Running in the background all my security software and probably a zillion notification programs about updates and stuff. Thanks!!
I have 5 windows open (that’s low for me!). Chrome, Tweetdeck, Firefox, an annoying virus protection thing that won’t close until I activate it, and Google Talk. Whew!

Oops, you caught me. I have 8 tabs between 2 windows. And my dh has left another web browser open (he prefers explorer, I’ve taken to firefox) as well as the microsoft outlook window. I also have a word document open too, since I’m pretending to do work at the same time…

Tabs? 17. I was gonna say that bashfully until I saw others with more. It’s my focus issue I think.
Running my photo, twitter, mail, message board…to name a few
Thank you.
*Blush* Yep, I have 25 tabs open right now! Hmm… how does that happen? I start reading one thing and click a link, see a cool link on the new page and click it – oh, look! Another link! Oops! No wonder my computer runs so slowly!

I would love to win this for myself, but my son going off to college really needs it more. Boo hoo I am so going to miss him! Can’t wait to read your blog. Keep writing!
5 with FF at the moment. It gets crazier but give me time… I just got here.
What a great Christmas gift this would be!
I’m running Firefox w/ 9 tabs open. I would love to win this. Thanks for the chance!

Life as usual around here!

6 tabs open, 3 apps running

I did this too, not sure if I needed to comment…
I am the QUEEN of having tons of programs running, for pretty much the same reasons you said. But I also keep documents and email open so I remember to come back and finish them. I usually wait until my computer crashes to restart!
Right now I have: Mail, Finder, Firefix, Word, Excel, Stickies, Safari, and Preview. On another day you could probably include iPhoto, Calendar, and Address book as well!
Right now is pretty tame. I have messenger and two tabs on Firefox. Usually, I have two browser windows with multiple tabs (Firefox and Chrome), messenger, a photo editing program and something else going on.
Ahhh, mornings.
Facebook, Gmail, Youtube, Blogger, and Twitter open in one window.
Slacker radio in another.
Well, I am at work right now, so I have a lot of work related stuff open.
Microsoft Outlook Inbox and Calendar (those both stay open all day), Chrome with 5 tabs open (including facebook, gmail and Seesmic a twitter client). I also have two Internet Explorer windows open because I am running RMS (a housing management system that can only be used in IE), Adobe Reader with the daily police reports and a file search folder open to one of the Res Life Shared drives.
That’s not as many as I usually have open, but I haven’t had a lot of free time this morning.
i’ve got this tab open in chrome, netnewswire for my rss feeds, mail, and my calendar. it’s less than normal, though, cause i’m just waiting to go to the airport. =)
Outlook, iTunes and 2 web pages. Slow day so far
I have weatherbug up, and windows media player running, and 53 tabs up on my mozilla firefox, mostly knitting patterns and recipes, but also several blogs, a youtube channel, and my email. This is pretty normal for me.
Just Skype (keeping in touch with hubby at work!) and 5 tabs in Chrome. Gmail. Banking. Blogger. You. And slickdeals.net.
LOL…..my poor little netbook is running at its max…which isn’t very fast! I always joke that the poor little mouse inside has run out of cheese to run after! Currently I have my weather app open and onenote as my computer post-it’s! I also have 4 internet tabs out doing research for a new blog post on TO BE or NOT TO BE at Supermom!
:)
Glad your new laptop is working out so well!
Right now I’ve got 7 internet tabs (on the low side of my average as I’ll only have the computer up a few more min before getting ready for work). I also have a couple of alerts on my taskbar. At work, I commonly have 3-5 programs open with multiple files open in each.
