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!

I multitask by checking the bank, twitter, coupon sites and email. 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…

UGH Mine hour glass came up and I lost all of my work documents. It sure was a pain to get them all emailed back to me. I soooo need a new computer for work. I am usually working, downloading pics and who knows what else. LOL
We are back to sharing a desktop as Ken’s and Dev’s rcomputrs recently died- it’s really really pitiful as my husband just got put on medical disability (which means paycheck cut to about half so can’t just replace) and I work from home.
This would be such a blessing to win right now.
Facebook usually is the hour glass culprit for me. For whatever reason, my new laptop doesn’t get along with a lot of sites, so I get the hour glass or a “done with errors” message. ARGH!

Omg – I HATE the dreaded *hourglass* … which never means to just wait, it means “Hey, guess who lost everything” lol – like some kind of virtual russian roulette :P

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.

I’m always juggling e-mail, schedules, and surfing on the side when I get bored.
My worst hour glass moments are just when I’m busy, have ten pages open and know that now, if I’m stuck, I have to close everything down and start over.

I get the hourglass when i have too many internet windows open.
We have to be careful how many applications we open on our old PC. If you are surfing the net, checking e-mail and listening to music and decide to open up a program like Photoshop, our computer doesn’t hang, it usually crashes and restarts. This laptop would come in mighty handy. Thank you for the chance to win.
I multitask constantly. Right now I am switching between tabs. FB and your giveaways to be exact. Cannot post to fast or else the system will not be happy. My husband needs a new laptop, his is missing keys.

I’m usually writing an assignment/report, listening to music/podcast, surfing the internet, and checking my email when using the computer.
my daughter is always ‘getting in trouble’ by doing school work on the computer… and facebook, and checking in on her games, uploading/editing pictures… all while she is only on to get her school work done…
I do some multi-tasking on my computer (don’t have a laptop), but I know my granddaughter (in high school) does “everything” on hers. It’s a tool for classes and also social networking and entertainment. She really needs an upgrade and I know she’d be happy to trade me hers for a brand new Acer.

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 worse “hourglass” moment was when I lost 4th row seats to the Bon Jovi concert due to timing out. Who can top this! I’m still sick to this day.

My dread “hourglass” moment usually comes either while installing a new program, or while doing some type of video or photo editing.

I multitask when I am checking my e-mail, checking my facebook, blogging and uploading photos to Flickr, and my hour glass moment is when my poor old computer runs out of RAM and everything gets hung up. Which happens pretty much daily, several times a day.
There is no one dreaded hourglass moment but just slow multiple windows especially when I have multiple flash sites open. I have a need, a need for speed. Thanks for the opportunity
Just recently lost my job and my laptop got a virus..Winning this is a must to look for employment being most appliction are done online.

When I’m trying to save photos I’ve just deleted off my camera that I thought had downloaded to my computer. Gone forever! Waaah. Stupid hour glass!
Right now I have 7 windows of Explorer open (4 pages in one window), Windows Live Writer, and Tweetdeck.
My kids don’t use the computer much except to listen to Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey on YouTube over and over and over!

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!).

I started grad school and so I would need a reliable compute that doesn’t take forever to download documents etc. I usually have a lot of files open and my computer becomes slower as a result. This will really help!
We are definitely in the need of a new computer, but I just try to keep putting it off. The hour glass is a prominent figure unfortunately.

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.
what a great way to upgrade, thanks for the opportunity. I’m a fan on fb and email :)

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!

I always have problems when I open up multiple IE windows and then also when I use photoshop. I would be nice to not have to wait as long for those things.
it always happens when I am couponing online that the hourglass thing comes up..sooooo frustrating sometimes!….I’ve done the facebook like thing, I have subscribed to your blog and the twitter thing…pretty serious about having a chance to win it! :-)

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 “hour glass” moment, everyday I get multiple ‘hour glass” moments. My desktop is 5 years old now and my brother-in-law who is an IT guy can’t figure out what is wrong with it. If I open up to many browsing windows it slows way down, not easy to blog, email, connect to Facebook, and hunt for coupons and deals when your computer is slower than a snail.
The worst thing to happen was having to reconfigure the hard drive and losing all our photos. My husband was very upset because I had been surfing the web when it went off and won’t come back on.

I use the computer to read blogs, pay bills, get kids’ school info, check schedule for sports, couponing….
The kids use the computer to IM me sometimes and play lots of games.

The worst hour glass moment I’ve had was when I was trying to get in on a contest that ended in 5 mins and my computer decided it wanted to take FOREVER!!!!! My son and I both multi-task with educational programs and email.

I get the hourglass when I’m editing photos
My hour-glass moment is always on a Thurs afternoon, when I realize I haven’t gotten enough done during the week, I need to prep for a Fri meeting and that the weekend is going to be full of house-cleaning and errand-running. My computer helps me stay organized with reminders, lists and instant messaging

Last year I got the dreaded hourglass after filling out a large order for Christmas. I had to re enter everything, took forever.
Any “hour glass” moment is dreaded but mostly when I have just filled out a long form and I know that hour glass is going to cause me to have to redo the whole thing.
Yay! I don’t have a laptop, and our desktop sometimes gets bogged down, especially when I have 2 or more applications going. Since I’m in school, a new computer would be fantastic!
