Intel Insiders Kickoff 3rd Year with Summit in NYC

Last week, I was in New York for the kick-off of the third year of the Intel Insiders brand advisory board. Intel hosted a summit and all of the Insiders for the upcoming year got together and share advice, insights and bond over a cooking team building dinner. To find out more about the program, be sure to check out Ken Kaplan's article that shares insights about the program.

Since this is my third year being part of the Intel Insiders program, I gave a little background on my involvement over the years. This includes my experiences at the Baltimore WiMax launch, CES, Computex in Taipei, Barcelona for World Mobile Congress and visits to Intel's offices in both Silicon Valley and Portland, Oregon. This year, I am planning on heading to Intel's Developer Forum and App Up event in San Francisco in mid-September as well as CES. It should be another great year and I am looking forward to it!

What's the one thing you would most want to improve when it comes to your laptop or computer?

I love my Macbook Pro (MBP). It makes processing photos and videos a breeze. But like anything, my Macbook Pro is not perfect. I started thinking about this question and actually came up with two things that my Macbook Pro could improve on. They are listed below:

1. My computer gets hot! To remedy the situation I have installed smcFan Control an application that boosts the internal fan to cool the machine down.
2. The MBP keyboard is placed so far back the edge of the computer cuts into my wrists. To remedy the situation I often wear wristbands to help protect my wrists. These wristbands also represent my favorite colleges and professional sports teams. If you have a wristband you would like me to rock while I jam out on my computer please drop me a comment below.

Your turn. What would you most want to improve when it comes to your laptop or computer?
