Can you think of someone in your life who deserves a new laptop? How about surprising him or her with a FREE new laptop powered by Intel? I bet it would be one of the best holiday gifts ever! As a blogger, I can hardly go by a day without touching my laptop. It has literally become an indispensable part of my daily life. I use it to update my blog, to edit image files, and to share my posts and other fun stuff on social media. It is the primary device I use to access the Internet for news, information, shopping, entertainment, and so much more. Although there are times I wish I could feel less attached to my computer, it is no doubt a valuable tech gear that has helped make life easier and more enjoyable for me.

Last year, Intel gave away laptops to three people who had inspiring stories to share. This year, they want to sweeten the offer by giving away two laptops – one for the winner and one for their friend (Total ARV $1,000)! Click on the picture above to watch Mimi’s, one of last year’s winners, tell her amazing story about how her laptop powered by Intel changed her life. Then fill out the entry form for your chance to win free laptops! Promotion ends 12/31/16. Limit one entry per person. Good luck!

If you need a new laptop sooner, you can always enjoy low everyday prices at Walmart for such popular models as HP Pavilion Liquid Platinum Gaming, HP Pavilion Manhattan Gold, and Dell Inspiron.

The Amazing Intel Experience at Best Buy #IntelatBestBuy

Are you a tech junkie who loves to stay on the cutting edge of new technology? Well, hi-tech gears tend to cost most when they are first released. Do you wish you could get some hands-on experience with them before you can decide whether they are worthy of your investment? To help consumers make smart choices and witness the amazing power of technology, Intel and Best Buy have teamed up to bring new Intel Technology Experience zones to 50 Best Buy stores in major markets across the U.S.

A recent study by Intel and Toluna suggests that while most (79%) Americans are excited about the chance to learn and try out new technologies, half are frustrated by the lack of access to them beyond what they read or see in the media. The Intel Technology Experience addresses this problem by giving shoppers, tech enthusiasts and technophobes alike, the opportunity to see, touch, explore and play with exciting new technologies they’ve only heard about, from 3D printing to virtual reality games.

Yesterday I brought my family to the Best Buy store in Chula Vista for our first-hand Intel Experience, which far exceeded my expectation for a simply display of PCs and tablets. First, I was surprised by how large the zone is. The overall layout is modern and eye-catching. There's no reason to miss it when you are in store.

Some upbeat music got our attention as soon as we get close to the area. Several young guys were happily shaking their bodies to the music in front of a large screen with tablets in their hands. The tablets turned out to be convertible laptops, with which you can control lighting, color themes, sound effects of the music video in real time, and act like a real DJ! A terrific gadget for those who enjoy making their own remix tracks.
