[Commercial break] Giveaway and sponsored review

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.

As I mentioned previously, I was recently given the opportunity to participate in a BlogHer review program under the title “Do More, Faster.” I said yes because, hello! Doing more? Doing it faster? Now that’s the way to speak to a workaholic’s heart.

(By the way, Girlfriday and I joke — and by “joke” I mean laugh uneasily at how very much it isn’t actually a joke — about our Workaholia: both a place AND a mental condition!)

What the review entailed was assessing a laptop computer powered with the Intel Core™ i5 processor with its Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, and an Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi) adaptor that would use my HDTV as a monitor.

Or, in layman’s terms: A spiffy new laptop computer with a speedy processor and the ability to watch stuff from my computer, wirelessly, on my much larger television.

I’ve had the computer for nearly a month now and have had ample time to do work on it, travel with it, and play with all its features. Read the review, and enter to win a $250 Best Buy gift card, at the review page here.
