Lenovo’s Clever Counter-Ad to the MacBook Air

This ad for Lenovo’s ultra-portable ThinkPad X300 is a pretty good counter to the ad for the MacBook Air

…but I think I’ll wait for the Mac version. The ThinkPad may boast that it’s the “no-compromise” machine, but the lack of Mac OS X is a big-ass compromise in my books. Especially when the OS likely to be bundled with this machine is:

I\'m Vista, featuring \"Hard Gay\"

  1. Ok Joey, where the heck is the full version of that image. I have been trying to find it, I know I saved a copy when you first posted it, but I can’t locate it. Even google fails me.

    Got a link handy?

  4. Wasn’t there one that had a bunch more OSs as well? I seem to remember one that had 5+ OSs.
