stopping by the Lenovo Connections Lounge — located at Saks Fifth Avenue on the 4th floor — to grab a seat on our plush white couches and check out our brand new, powerful and incredibly chic IdeaPad U300s Ultrabook™, which was just unveiled last week.

Starting at 6:00 p.m. ET, FNO enthusiasts, fashion-minded techies, style mavens and more are invited to our stylish tech lounge, where they can use the U300s laptops on display to blog, tweet, update Facebook or even shop online for more FNO deals.

But here’s the best part: attendees can also enter to win one of five U300s Ultrabooks, which we’ll be giving away throughout the night.

We’ll also be showcasing one-of-a-kind laptop sleeves designed for the IdeaPad U300s, created by young Chinese contemporary artist, Gao Yu, and haute couture fashion designer and model, Mary Ma.

Here’s a sneak peek of the Lenovo Lounge. Hope to see you there!

Chanel iPad Case

If you wondering why someone without an iPad is so interested in the availability of designer iPad cases it’s  because people know I carry my Toshiba R700 laptop as well as any other computer or tablet that fits in in a Chanel Grand Shopper or a Chanel tote bag, so they often ask my opinion on designer iPad  cases.

There are some excellent inexpensive iPad cases out there from OtterBox, HardCandy and Gumdrop Cases  You can see them in the Dads & Grads Feature on TabletPc2.com

Chanel iPad Case:  $1,555.o00
