Microsofts latest ad – Lisa and Jackson get a Sony VAIO
Apr 10th
Seems like Microsoft might *cough* FINALLY be getting some advertising right. Microsoft’s latest Laptop Hunters ad follows a mom and her kid. Lisa and Jackson say they need a computer which is “fast” because they need to “look up stuff” before they “get to baseball.” (uh… ok) They have a a sub-$1500 budget. Somewhere in the middle they take a look at a Mac — which Lisa notes are “popular at this age” (total Apple snub… “they’re for kids!”). Regardless, they’re both so turned off by the cute-but-small computers that they hurry back to the affordable VAIO section and make off with a 16-inch laptop.
