    Meet Microsoft's New Laptop Hunter: Lauren 2.0 Likes Pink

    The original laptop hunter Lauren was a cute librarian-type who wanted a giant lapmonster. Microsoft's latest flamespot has a new Lauren. She's a blond law student who likes pink.

    I'm sure Mac fansites will point out the MacBook Pro she sneers at for being $2000 is two inches bigger than the 13-inch Dell Studio XPS she winds up with, and she should've looked at the regular MacBook, which starts at $999, close to what she pays for the Dell. But we all know that's not the point. It's a flame war, people—just one with a budget.

    I liked the old Lauren better. [YouTube]
