Week 5: Dude you're getting a Dell

Remember the early days of dell's adverting with the Dell Dude?



Does the Dell Dude, remind you of the new Mac vs. PC guy?



It seems like the cool guy trend still exists today. Even though it has been around for a while, maybe not in the same content but it is still out there. I was thinking the other day that it is kind of odd that Dell has gotten past the "cool guy trend" and seems that even though their computers are at schools that kids are taught with. Maybe that was their decision that if they started adverting to the hip and cool kids then market to schools that would be their way into the lives of kids. Could that have been their marketing strategy?
