We've already seen Lenovo take a swipe at Apple's genius idea to shove its slimmest laptop into an interoffice envelope, and now we're seeing the same type of setup with MSI's X-Slim X340. Thankfully, it appears that MSI itself didn't put the crew at NewGadgets up to the task, and if it did, it should be downright appalled and ashamed by the inexplicable choice of music. In fact, why does an un-enveloping need a background track in the first place? Hit the play button above for a quick laugh, but for all things pure and holy, mute the speakers first.
That must be the most useless commercial EVER. Nevermind the emo-music, but what's with not actually showing how thin the laptop actually is? And why is it ugly and plastic-y and stuff ...
How was that music emo? It definitely was bad, but no way was it anything CLOSE to "emo".
I agree about the video being pointless though. People need to stop with the envelope crap too. The macbook air ad was stupid, excessive and show-offish, and ads like these are worse.
Darren, you and I would get on smashingly in an iPod battle. Before I finished reading the article, I hit the mute button. Evanessence?? Really? Shite christian rock? Blech.
Fuck feeling ashamed.. When it first came out (I was still in high school) I probably listened to it a few hundred times before I was over it. No one should ever feel ashamed for enjoying any kind of music.
BOOOO! How do they NOT show the laptop from a side angle so we can see how thin it really is? Showing it from the top = MEANINGLESS Pulling it out of an envelope is also MEANINGLESS, I can get my old Gateway into an envelope if it's long enough and the damn thing is as thick as a brick. With no Advil on hand I watched the video sans audio :>)
My God.... would you be so kind as to e-mail me with the release date for Lenovos new line of tissue paper. I'll be needing it to staunch that pesky bleeding ear thing I seemed to have developed just now.

Way too shitty to even be neo-poser emo.
The laptop is super cute. Slim, light and white! no problem there. Music was lame.

Why do I feel ashamed in saying that I kind of like that song...?
/cries a little, contemplates choice of music and masculinity
Haha, I feel sort of the same way. Also, nice icon.
