AdAge is reporting on the aftermath of Microsoft COO Kevin Turner gloating about getting a call from Apple’s lawyers asking them to stop running the ‘Laptop Hunters’ Mom/Lauren ad because it inaccurately represented Apple’s pricing. Guess what: Microsoft has since run an altered version of the ad. In the original, Lauren (not that Lauren ) is after a laptop with “…speed, portability and battery life for under $1,700.” Here you go, Lauren . While shopping, she says, “This Mac is $2,000, and that’s before adding anything.” In the current version, she simply says “It seems like you’re paying a lot for the brand,” but mentions no actual price.
