My nonexistent email invite from coachfactory.com

Back in january, I wrote about how to get an exclusive email invitation from coachfactory.com. I provided the steps I went through, only to find out they were all failures. Since January 2013, till today, August 12, 2013, I have yet to receive an email from coachfactory.com about upcoming online sale events, yet I am a registered member. Today, while  I was randomly checking my favorite online shops for sales and such, I logged in my coach factory account (not my cousins account), and it led me straight to their August 12, 2013 event. I don't know if I should be happy, or pissed off, because, when I checked my email address, I didn't find any invitation. So, basically, you can get in the sale event without receiving an invitation in your email. If you're already a member, but you have yet to receive an email invite, just log in your account in https://www.coachfactory.com, and hope that it leads you straight into the sale, that is, IF they are indeed having an online sale event on that day.
Otherwise if you see the image below, either they don't have an on going sale, or they're not letting you in.
If you still haven't received an email invitation from coach, but is a registered member, and just want to check if there's an ongoing sale, just log in your account. If the image above is what it's showing you, visit my blog, to check for updates. Chances are, I've already posted the ongoing sale.

Thermaltake Massive23 LX Laptop Notebook Cooler

A friend asked me to buy this for him in amazon.com, as he couldn't find one here in the Philippines.

A few days ago, I went ahead and bought a laptop. I wasn't really thinking of getting a cooler or other accessories for it because besides getting it at a bargain price, it came along with a free Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse and a really nice Sennheiser HD201 Hi-Fi Headphones. All I needed was a mouse pad. Until I realized, I do most of the typing on the bed, (not advisable I know). Laptops have little feet underneath which raises the base a couple of centimeters to allow the vent to "breathe". Placing a laptop on a soft surface, will cause the laptop to "sink", thereby completely obstructing the vent. The laptop can easily overheat because of this. So I decided to get a cooler, not really to "cool" the laptop, but I needed something flat and hard to place my laptop on when I'm using it on the bed. I wasn't really interested on a particular brand.

I accidentally found it in PC Express Southmall. Cash price is P1,150.00, credit card price is P1,230.00. When I took the thing out of the box, I thought it looked familiar, so I checked my friends order, and confirmed that it's the exact same thing. Not really that bad, except, he'll have to wait till late September for his.

 Thermaltake Massive23 LX Laptop Notebook Cooler Oversized 230mm Blue LED Fan USB CLN0015-Price: $29.99 & FREE Shipping in amazon.


Overall, it looks and feels like it's going to last, made with light but sturdy material. The fan is huge! Cooling capacity is okay, but I expected better. The blue led lights are actually kind of cool, you can turn it off independently if you just want to use the fan. It has two usb ports (2.0) on the left upper side. Fits 10-17" laptops. Will recommend.
