worst acting ever+no real nudity= HATE
worst acting ever+ nudity= LOVE
wow, that's an ugly computer..
OMG WTF
OMG whata geekz.. pathetically ad.
Better than any Apple commercial I've seen in at least 5 years.
Well, at least they talked about their product. So, technically it's better than Microsoft's 'Seinfeld in a shoe store' thing. Unfortunately, the name of the product is so convoluted, you forget it ten seconds after it's mentioned in the ad.
I just jizzed.. in.. my pants...
The next day, my alarm goes off and I Jizzed... in... my pants.
I open the window and an breeze rolls through and I Jizzed... in... my pants.
I slid out my second-screen and I JIZZED IN [her] PANTS...
Sorry but that girl is way out of his league. No way that'd happen. That's what I said.
Granted this is a blog with reader feedback but the little commercial did it's job. You're all talking about it!
The ad is as crude and ugly as their laptops.
Take the target audience for this piece of crap and there you go, the perfect advert.
That's the BEST computer commercial EVER! I may not have any computers as fancy as that Lenovo, but I still have enough of 'em to get every hot chick at the office naked!

And thanks to you too, Engadget, for the $2-an-hour "bloggers", the $1-an-hour "critics", and the Pulitzer Prize-caliber "articles".
ZING!
ZANG!
who the hell is the target audience for this thing? it seems like they just had a bunch of stuff left over from less nonsense laptops and decided "aww, what the hell, we can throw it all into one big laptop".
I hope you get a 30-minute DVD of the the 'whole show' when you buy one of these laptops. That would get some ppl buying, well until someone ripped the damn thing and put in on the net, way to spoiler the fun.
get over it, i've seen much worse commercials
it's not that bad..
That was awesome! I don't know what you haters are going on about, because it was great for a boring-business ThinkPad advertisement.
Yikes guys, calm down. I found it to be a funny video.
Hey, at least HE got laid.
1) So does that mac.
2) A 500 GB laptop... Meh, storage is cheap now days. 320 should suit you just fine, and if not, either get an external HD, or more wisely, don't get a laptop.
3) If by "integrated digitizer," he means a stylus, that Mac has got something better than a stylus: a touch pad.
4) A slide out screen... Can't imagine a single use for that. But if you insist: http://gizmodo.com/339918/apple-docking-patent-works-perfectly-with-ultra+slim-macbook
5) Huge, bulky, and far from even semi-gorgeous. I bet that nerdy idiot gets embarrassed when real co-workers, not sluts, who actually know a thing or two about computers, slide in next to him with a 17" MacBook Air and start multi-touching, 3 way video conferencing, directly transferring files, etc. You want big, then here you go: http://media.monstersandcritics.com/galleries/1098839/0127504950085.jpg
...and one last one for the wise guy, only that Mac can run all 3 major operating systems. (I'm not counting hackinstoshes, because those can just be a downright pain to build, and nor am I talking about virtualization, that's just plain slow), has a beautiful Office Suite, and hardware that you would expect to find in premium notebooks, and then some. He's jut jealous not of her, but of her computer, but doesn't want to admit that maybe someone else has something better than him.
That commercial is loaded with fail.
There's my rant. Hope you like it. If not, move along, nothing to see here.
wow.
Wow is right. That comment right there just may be the single dumbest thing I've ever read on Engadget.
For the mac fanboyish drivel, Lomoco obviously doesn't know very much about macs. 17" Macbook air? The failbus is over there. -------------------->
So she goes for $10/hour? Not a bad good deal.
Hmm, I thought that was pretty funny. It's not a commercial to be broadcast on TV, its supposed to be a funny video made to poke fun at Apple. Just like the x300 in an envelope commercial.
My pants are tight.
OK, people, be honest: this is EXACTLY what you secretly hope will happen each time you build or purchase a new desktop/laptop/whatever. Swap out the girl for a guy/goat/robot/whatever if that's your thing, but otherwise, you know it's true. Every guy who ever built a windowed case with cold cathode lights, LEDs and stealthed drives is secretly hoping that there's a woman somewhere in the universe who'll get all hot and bothered looking at it. Sad but true.
Don't pick a career as psychologist, free advise brought to you by the internet.
Hey now, let's keep the goat out of this.
Very sad..... But so very true.....

2) It's TWO HDDs laptop, either RAID0 or RAID1. Terabyte in RAID0, mirrored 500GB in RAID1, if you use 500GB drives. eSata port, too - ever saw in on the Mac?
3) By "integrated digitizer" he means built-in Wacom panel. He only shows stylus, conveniently stored in the laptop.
4) Photoshop users will routinely drag tools to this screen. Most of them.
5) Built as a tank - all Thinkpads are - reliable - not a "Hello Kitty" toy but a serious machine for serious professionals.
Software is a matter of personal preference. Both OSX and Windows have good software if one takes time to learn it.
I'm getting one as soon as they have i7 mobile edition and shit it with Windows 7.
That feebleness is beyond words.
That would make it as much a "lap-dance" as a "laptop"...
:-D
I dont know thats a pretty decent commercial...... Not the usual just girl dancing with a computer in the background....... Makes my want to buy this computer go from 3% to at least 8%......
didnt think this was so bad, made me smile. i liked the cheese, I think it was supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek, and lenovo were taking the piss out of them selves. if anything is better than a company who can say "we're the best selling/biggest/etc company in the world" its a company with a sense of humour who can laugh at their selves.
nice one lenovo
and in my opinion, the super cheesey 80s porno music makes it
I thought it was neat. Back when I did RMA and tech support for a little PC wholesale company, we had this receptionist that got really hot when I droned on about tech junk on the phone with users. I know this sounds like a total fabrication, but whenever SCSI or raid came up she'd crawl up on my lap. Man, those were good times.
Cute girl+Funny+Goofy Gates/Apple ad PC guy lookalike=Win.
If you can't see the humor in that ad it's time to rethink your life choices.
That is best commercial!
haha I loved it!
I thought it was hilarious!!!
