Lenovo Ad Spoofs (Blasts) MacBook Air

May 1st, 2008 at 3:00 PM - News by John Martellaro

The Apple MacBook Air TV ad, with the computer being pulled out of an inter-office mailing envelope, is famous. So famous, that Lenovo has spoofed the very same ad to promote its Thinkpad X300 notebook computer. The adis angle is that itill take a boatload of wires and devices to equal all the stuff thatis built into the Lenovo Thinkpad.

The only problem with Lenovois idea is that users are loving their MacBook Air and dispensing with all the extra ... stuff. Even so, the Lenovo ad makes its point with some sharp humor.
