I don’t know about you, but I was really smiling while watching this 6-minute promotional video of the Lenovo S9/S10 in Chinese. The video was promoting the netbook’s “always online” features. Well, probably in China, even the bathrooms are Wi-Fi hotspots. Interestingly the promotional video did not show anything about the S9/S10’s salient features, but instead focused on the finishing the storyline, which thanks to an Engadget reader’s translation is about the couple separating with no apparent reason, only to be found out later on by the girl that the boy is already dead.

It was really a weird way of promoting a powerful netbook such as the Lenovo S9/S10, but I guess Lenovo wanted to capitalize on the popularity of “telenovelas” (read: short love story shown in TVs) to promote their netbook.

But one thing that the video was able to show aside from the fact that you can always stay online with a Lenovo netbook is the fact that it is durable as well. Take note of how the girl smash the keyboard whenever she chats with the boy.

Anyway, hopefully Lenovo could come up with a better and more appropriate promotional video for the Lenovo S9/S10 well suited for the International audience. Frankly, if this kind of video ads goes public in the US and worldwide, we will all just laugh about it.
