Ad Age named HP's "The Computer Is Personal" effort via Goodby Silverstein & Partners its campaign of the year in January 2007, less than a month before this spot aired in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLI.

The campaign, introduced in 2006, featured only the hands, midsections and computers of celebrities from Jay-Z to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who was shown sentimentally saving all the emails he's written, including one inviting his wife on their first date. 

For Super Bowl XLI, HP and Goodby used Paul Teutel Sr.-of "American Chopper," the Discovery Channel TV series, to show viewers how inexpensive HP computers can pimp their lives. It was a return to the game for "American Chopper," which helped promoted AOL 9.0's Top Speed feature in a 2004 trio of big-game ads ("Slow Ride," "Car," "Motorcycle").  

The campaign was spearheaded on the client side by Satjiv Chahil, senior VP-worldwide marketing for HP's Personal Systems Group, and David Roman, VP-worldwide marketing communications in that group.
