I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world, hoping I could learn a bit...

Personally, we love Apple's MacBook Air advertisement - it's about as catchy as they come, and doesn't half make the overpriced notebook seem like a must-have toy.

The only trouble with the advertisement, is that it leaves itself open to plenty of ridicule. Since the MacBook launched earlier this year, we've been watching YouTube users put whatever they can get their hands on into manila envelopes.

Now though, we've found a new favourite. The parody below doesn't just make fun, it makes a point. The Lenovo X300 is better in terms of functionality than the MacBook Air, and it fits in an envelope - what more could you possibly want? We're particularly keen on the singing in this one, here it is:

We've also got to make a special mention for our previous favourite, the DS Lite Air:

All we need now is for someone to find a giant envelope and to squeeze a Mac Pro inside, that would be the cream of the crop.

Most amusing :)
Brutal, and very funny…
ahaha (y) ace!
Thank is the exact point I made to everyone at work wen we got them in!!!
You have to pay for the Air, then the extras which make it a stupid amount of money, where you can get the same spec (But to be honest no where near as sexy as the Air!) for less money.
And whos idea was it to give it mono sound and 1 USB port, seriously?! They could have stuck at least another USB port on it and for them to ship it with a external DVD-RW I bet it would cost them less than Ā£10, which they could easily have added on the already over-the-top price, but at least its bundled with it then.
Still, wouldn't say no to a free one lol, just have to dual boot it with Windows!

I don't really understand the parody:
1) He attaches a Micro-DVI to DVI/VGA converter then doesn't use a monitor. This dongle has been used on the PowerBook and the MacBook already to keep size down.
2) He attaches a USB hub then has all these random USB leads everywhere, rather than just attaching the Superdrive directly to the USB port.
I'm a fan of parodies, especially the one with the Dell fitting in the manilla envelope, but it needs to actually make sense; which I don't think this one does!
