Microsoft alters Laptop Hunter ad due to Apple's requests

>> Sunday, December 13, 2009


 Microsoft's Laptop Hunter range of commercials are popular; their aim is to show consumers how much money can be saved if you select to purchase a computer packing the Windows operating method over an Apple branded four. Recently though, Apple made some price drops, & it seems it wasn't to consumers... they wanted those commercials gone. Whilst that has not exactly been achieved, Electronista is reporting that they may have gotten the next best thing.

After making said price drops, it was reported that Apple's PR contacted Microsoft's COO Kevin Turner directly & told him that the commercials need to be removed. This apparently made him pleased, as it showed they were working, though nobody said whether or not the request would be fulfilled; as you can see, it has not.

The ad features a girl named Lauren & her brother, Sue, & originally it went a tiny something like this: On scan of the Mac section in the store, Lauren stated, "this Mac is $2,000, & that is before adding anything." Sue chimes in with, "why would you pay two times the price?" & then Lauren, ever witty, comes back with an, "I would not." However, this has been changed. Now the ad goes thusly (you can watch the video below, if you are so inclined): On reaching the Apple part of the shop, Lauren notes, "this four only has a 250GB hard drive. It seems like you are paying a lot for the brand."

As they mentioned, the video is embedded below, so let us know what you think of the modify.
