{NOW CLOSED} Back to School Giveaway: Smart Performace Intel Core i5 Laptop

August 17, 2010 by Briana Carter


Are you in the market for a new laptop? After talking to the Intel folks, I have a new perspective on how to shop for a computer.  This is one area where the lowest price laptop, may not be the one for you.

What am I going to do with this computer?

This should be the first question you ask yourself when you are shopping for a new PC. For me, I run multiple programs at once because I’m a woman and I like to multi-task. So I will have a browser, skype, photo program, document program, etc. all open at one time.

Like many people, I expect my computer to function no matter how many windows or programs I have up. Your high school or college student is going to be doing as much or more multi-tasking on their laptops as I do! This is why it is important to look at storage, memory, and processor.

Figure out your budget and buy the best you can within that budget. You want this laptop to last a few years and the better system you purchase, the longer your student will be able to use it! Check out Intel’s How to Choose the Right Processor page to help find your perfect processor.

Intel makes 80% of the world’s PC processors.  The processor is the brains of the PC. If you are wasting time staring at the dreaded hour glass on your PC, then the brain of your computer is too old and probably time for an upgrade. (If only, we could do this to our real brains!)

The newest processors are the Intel Core i3, i5, and i7. The higher the number in the series, the faster processors. This doesn’t mean that you necessarily need an i7 just because it is the fastest processors as it goes back to the question above, “What am I going to do with this computer?”

Hardcore gamers will want an i7.  For the rest of us the Intel Core i5 processor will do the trick. The i5 even received some ohs and ahs at my workplace, though at the time I had absolutely no clue what an i5 processor even was.

The Intel Core i5 processor, which is the processor in the Acer Aspire Timeline, is what Intel recommends for your student. For students, the laptop is their entertainment and work center all in one.  Mobility, long-lasting battery life, and performance is what is needed!

As a dedicated Mac user, I was impressed with the performance of the Acer Aspire Timeline that Intel sent us. It has an Intel Core i5 processor and the battery life is phenomenal. Our current laptops have battery life time is around 2 hours. The Acer Aspire Timeline is around 11.5 hours. Yes, 11.5 hours.

Did I say it was also really light weight? As a blogger, I often go to blogging events and conferences and it can wear a person out toting a heavy laptop around. I can never bring myself to take the mini-laptop because the performance is horrid and I need a full keyboard. With the Acer Aspire Timeline I don’t have to sacrifice performance to save my arms!

If I can compare myself to a student for a moment, they are going to be toting their laptops all over the place. The need something light weight! The Acer Aspire Timeline with Intel Core i5 processor is just 5 lbs.

Do you feel smarter about processors now? Would you like to win a Acer Aspire Timeline? Of course you do! Intel has been very generous to our readers and are giving one very lucky Bargain Briana reader a Acer Aspire Timeline with Intel Core i5 Processor valued at almost $800!

    A nice computer and you have some great suggestions on buying the best one that suits you. I only have an old desktop one, but I do multi task on it a lot. I always have several windows opened at a time. One for checking facebook, one for searching and one for the news. The laptop would be nice to have. I wouldn’t be stuck in this dark office area all the time. lol. Thanks for having the contest!

    I Multi-task …facebook, review,blogs, email,sports, homework, research,order etc…

My kids like to listen to grooveshark while doing homework, or playing on Poptropica which has no sound… They surf the web, cut and paste pix to documents or slide shows. Our hourglass times are loading complex game systems……… but with seven, it would be great for them to be able to do homework on two computers simultaneously! Or on the road…

    It seems like I get that darned hourglass every time I’ve just composed a long, thoughtful email for work and have failed to save a draft — and more often than not I have to scramble to get a screen shot so I can try to re-compose the email after the browser inevitably crashes!

    Once, I was listing an auction and had to describe in DETAIL over 300 items – when (insert music from horror movie) I got the freakin’ hourglass and LOST two HOURS of work ………………….. argh!

    Thanks for the giveaway…our hourglass moments usually occur when we have several applications running at the same time, usually when my wife is editing some video and chatting about a time sensitive work related subject with someone at the same time ! The kid’s computer use is just starting to ramp up at school this year, and they will be assigned advanced projects that will necessitate our upgrading our current dinosaur of a desktop…

    I like to have a few Internet windows open, including my email. Lately my computer keeps stalling and then locking up. It has gotten to be such a problem that I am now running IE through the “start”, “all programs”, “accessories”, “system tools”, “Internet Explorer (no add-ons)” method, which means that many things don’t display properly. BUT at least I was able to keep my system up long enough to post this wordy comment :-)
    I would love to win the Acer laptop. Thank you for the chance!

    My dreaded hourglass moment is always in the middle of a job. I’m a graphic designer and my programs eat computers…I have to have like ten open at once, processing 100 MB files sometimes. I usually have to get a gamer computer for the high-grade graphics card and processor. The worst is with film – now that throws up that hourglass a lot. My student is very young, so she just does little preschooler games on the computer. She likes to do the painting programs. Gonna be a designer like mommy ;)

    My dreaded “hour glass” moment is when I waited to the last minute to submit my income tax forms online. I finished all the forms and hit submit. The hourglass just sat there. Computer froze up, I had to reboot the computer and fill the forms out all over again, and try to get them in by the deadline.

    I multi-task streaming music online, working on spreadsheets for work, and checking email.

    My students multi-task trying to be on Twitter,Facebook, Myspace and Youtube all at once. Got love teens!

    I get very frustrated when my email lands in cyber heaven for me doing nothing – I am hoping to find it one day – but when I try to go through the diagnoses part of the help program = the hour glass starts and it never seems to go away – so I reboot and start over. My kids have learned to do their computer work at school as we don’t have modern enough software to complete many of their tasks – but I bought this computer for me to do word processing – and we have a pentium 266 on it – which I was told at the time from Time Warner that I barely met the criteria for hooking it to the internet – I am certain that this is part of the reason it goes so slow (I am the other part!).

    My husband and I are youth pastors. Last week we had a parents meeting and tried to display all the information they would need for this semester with our current laptop… instead we got the hourglass and then when it would begin to work the programs would shut down. It ended up with us having to e-mail all the information to the parents because the computer never worked.

    I use Windows 7 right now on my laptop and love it because I can have multiple screens up at once. It’s perfect for doing research papers because I can have an internet site on half the screen, and my word document on the other. I typically have music playing, Facebook, email, etc. at the same time.

    This laptop would be a gift for my parents. I hope I win!

    It never fails when I really need to get something done urgently I get the dreaded hourglass. It probably doesn’t help that I always have 2 browsers open, each with countless tabs open, in addition at times I am also running iTunes and Word and Excel too. I think I am asking too much of my computer, I know I am asking too much of it because every few days lately it just shuts down on me and reboots.

    My “hourglass” is that I have to share a desktop with my kids and I do contests and coupons and deal searching and have to hurry so kids can get their papers or research done for school We so could use another computer especially this one :)

    I use to work from home and have had many “hour glass moments” during that time. There were kids screaming, work to be done, and deadlines to meet. Sometimes my computer would be C-R-A-W-L-I-N-G along! While I don’t work from home anymore (for $ anyway-ha ha) I blog, facebook, email, play music, and watch videos. Most importantly, I homeschool, and this would be such a blessing to us!!!

    I multitask EVERYTHING on the computer. I’m never just doing one thing. I’m checking mail, and Facebook, and looking something up, and checking our bank account, and 2 or 3 other things all at once.

    We have a very old desktop that we use for home school. It “hour glasses” when booting up!!! It’s hard for me to work on that computer because I may have Firefox, Excel, some home school software and Word going all at once. Very painful wait times.

    I usually listen to online radio while surfing, checking my email, and IM’ng. I also keep a solitaire game open for those slow-to-load moments…

    oh there is nothing worse than that computer freeze after spending hours working on a document that you kept forgetting to save along the way. i mostly multitask various windows on the computer, email and browsing

    I hate the hour glass–get a few programs running–and it pops right up–my computer has been running slowly

    I am on my computer about half the day between couponing, homeschool, household stuff and just keeping in touch with friends. I don’t own a laptop….so this would make my life so much easier in every way. I feel like I am locked away from the rest of my family in the corner at my desk. to have the freedom to sit on the couch while I work would be amazing!
