The new episode of the Microsoft's marketing campaing "Laptop Hunters" is out. This time we meet Lauren, a pre-law school student and her mom Sue. Nope, they're not looking for the cheapest laptop around.

My neighbor's 2.5 year old kid can switch cartoons from her mom's PC to his own room TV. I can't do that. So, why wouldn't an 11-year old get a $1500 laptop?

Meet Giampaolo, alleged recent college grad and engineer (good looking one, too) that is looking for a laptop. Does this story sound familiar to you? Exactly, meet the new actor in Microsoft's ad campaign.

At first, concept was simple: rip-off an MTV reality TV show with people doing crazy stuff for $5-10-20. But then corporate watchdogs rode in and well... staged the whole thing.
