Yeap, that's right. Microsoft has released the third edition of their 'Laptop Hunters' ad campaign, following on from the first and second. The first ad featured a woman named Lauren, and the second was a guy named Giampaolo, and, you guessed it, they chose a PC. Keeping with the trend, you won't be surprised that the stars of this ad, Lisa and Jackson, choose a PC as well. You know the deal; they're given $1500 to find and buy a laptop, and they keep what they buy, and any change left over.
Lisa wants a computer that is fast, has a big hard drive and Jackson wants a good gaming computer. They browse for a bit, and upon coming to the Macs (Lisa notes, "They're kinda popular with this age"), they say that whilst a MacBook looks nice, it's a bit small and is a lot of money. They end up with a Sony Vaio, as opposed to an HP from the previous two ads.
Please enjoy the ad embedded below, this time in a YouTube format:
So, this is the third ad in the series and Microsoft is pumping them out pretty quickly. They're attracting a lot of attention, and that's just what they need to do. What do you think, Neowin?
