Torino Winter Games, ThinkPad Commercial (T60)

#1 Post by draco2527 » Sat Feb 11, 2006 10:07 pm

I have not seen a ThinkPad commercial on TV in YEARS! I was surprised so see it. Looked good, but the different seasons depicted on the TP messed with my mind a little.


Did anyone else see it? Any comments?

Anyone mildly annoyed that Lenovo is advertising a product that nobody can actually buy? :?

Funny thing is that Sony has done no advertising and they have some available already.(Duo Core)

Yeah, I guess the add was misleading in more ways then one!

Yes, the delayed distribution should certainly be improved. At least they should clarify why it is taking so long. I guess the PR guys need to do a better job. Advertisement and PR has never been IBM's strongest points, and apparently Lenovo has inherited this. But at least there is an ad, which was non-existent before, so things are improving. ;)
