The guys over at Redmond released another infamous laptop bargain hunters ad. This time, we follow a girl named Lauren (not the original Lauren) and her mom searching for a laptop with “speed, portability and battery life” for under 17 benjamins.

Lauren and the mother ended up with a Dell XPS 13a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, and a $899 price tag.
