  • This has to be the daftest advertising campaign ever.

    "PC's are a bit rubbish, but they're trying hard and ultimately lovable. Mac's however are unbearable pretentious knobheads, so you should totally buy them instead."

  • Ahaha love you David!

  • They're still not getting that most British audiences are siding with David are they :|

  • Mac vs PC? Who cares? Buy the one you want and does what you need and then shut the fuck up!

    These, incase the many morons below had not noticed are what we call adverts. This one is by Mac. They are unlikely to see Mac is shit are they? Adverts are, by their nature and function, bias. So try not to lose too much sleep over it kids. Nasty Apple isn't going to suddenly make the other tens of companies who make computers disappear and force you to buy a mac.

  • Yet another pointless, misleading and not funny mac advert. Well done apple for making two very clever and funny people seem the opposite of what I just said.

  • I love Mitchell and Webb but these adds sort of work in reverse on me. David has all the good lines...

  • PC will always own macs they don't compete - its like trying to argue that your phone is better than a pc - all the hardware is better because there is more space to put it and it dosn't need to be light weight.

  • isnt there a lot of software for pc that lets you do the same thing? what exactly is there point here? apart from it comes with some pointless program designed for old people and idiots? Something like that shouldn't be your reason for buying a computer lol

  • wtf is a photobook?

    How is it different than a ... folder?

  • Make moe Peep Show...

  • Employee: I've made a photobook!

    Boss: OK but how is this meant to help our business?

  • Seems like a dumb reason to spend a ton of money on a computer to me.

  • what the hell is a photobook anyway ??

  • Mac is not PC? So what is it then? A calculator?

  • @Jirkaflt overpriced piece of shit that does some of the things all your other stuff already does

  • @Jirkaflt it is a PC but it's also a brand with a unique system so rather than having to Macs Vs All other types of PCs people just say Mac Vs PC

  • @Jirkaflt

    no no silly a calculator is useful.

  • @z3r0t0l3r4ns I see, thanks :D

  • @Jirkaflt Its a mac

  • @GamingOnALenovoG555 PC stands for Personal Computer...

  • @moomoomoo309 I know.

  • @Jirkaflt the only reason they say that is because Bill gates owns the rights to the term 'PC'. not apples fault.

  • @06mgibson I see, Thanks, I didn't know...

  • @Jirkaflt they cant say the actually name microsoft or windows and it is well known mac and windows are the two leading competetors in pc so by them saying pc, it is quite clear what they mean

  • i dont see an mac vs. linux heading... so linux fanboys, remove yourself.

  • @JJFlare I don't see a "(no linux)" heading, so remove yourself.

  • @FilmSnapper well no, its MAC vs PC you div, clueless you are

  • @JJFlare So? It's computer VS computer argument. Linux is a computer.

  • @FilmSnapper naaa not much> mac vs pc

  • @StevesBarcode Only apple. That's their main feature for macintosh...

  • if u want Apple operating system, get linux :)

  • i don't really like this mac guy, he's all like... "what, yes". Too careless and not funny to me.

  • WTF is a photobook and who gives a shit

  • the UK got mitchell and webb for their commercials...we got stuck with that jerk from galaxy quest

  • A barrister with his jacket unbuttoned like that would get a bollocking from the judge!

  • mac rocks! i mean... come on! its so cool =)

    i bought a mac, cost just 3.000$, and i made a photobook! great, right? okay, i had to change some things, so it took me an hour, but still... really worth the money =)

  • I bourght a mac ages ago, i wish i never did, the only thing i ever used to itunes :')

    and i can get than on my pc now anyway :3

  • Takes me 0 seconds to do so on Windows (which sucks just as MAC and Linux)... as i NEVER did...

  • this stuff is actually forbidden in Europa... other companies and their products may not appear in commercials if they appear as something 'negative'.

  • takes me about 3-4 days to make a good photobook. converting all pictures to cmyk and 300dpi, layouting all to my wishes, send it to print professionally... a really proffesional photobook can never be made in a few minutes. thats just not true...

  • macs are for little kids wh cant really use computers, but would like to when they grow up... PC's are for real people in the real world doing real things on a real computer... really!

  • @otraxx1 Haha, PCs are for gaming and gaming is for violence loving little kids, you just stated that gaming is a real thing.. What are you smoking? It sure seems like a hell of a drug.

  • Hi I'm a Mac, I have Windows 7 and OSX installed both running at full speed, 1080p.

    Hi I'm a PC, I have Windows 7 installed.

    end of conversation.

  • @heal0111 actually, you can install OSX on a pc. it's called making a hackintosh. but i think the real question here is, if you can run windows, why bother to run OSX?

  • @gitghetto I dont want a computer I have to hack to use, I'd prefer to just use it without laborious hassle. And I use windows on my mac for PC games, thats why.

  • @heal0111 you're an idiot. it takes no time and/or hassle to make a hackintosh. you just buy a computer that is compatible with it, and install it, and there you go. you have a mac for half the price that apple would've sold one to you for.

  • @gitghetto "you're an idiot".. such a master of words.

    At the end of the day my iMac runs the software I use in my work faster, smoother and more intuitively than it ever did on my old PC. The system is more stable than Windows due to Apple’s tighter control over the configuration options (which unless you are part of the 1% who actually give a shit) is a good thing, and it is by far more powerful than Windows due to its UNIX base.

    ...And if I should need to use Windows I can, easily.

  • @heal0111 just because it's based on UNIX doesn't make it more powerful than windows. the systems are, in fact, equally stable. the reason windows happens to crash more is because of badly coded 3rd party software that people download. the OS itself is stable under any circumstances set within itself. and finally, the most probable reason of the programs running better is because of better hardware in comparison to your old PC. it has nothing to do with the OS.

  • As Unix is more flexible and can be installed on many different types of machines, including main-frame computers, supercomputers and micro-computers. And the FACT that Unix possesses much greater processing power than Windows, Unix is more powerful than windows.

    +Software upgrades from Microsoft often require the user to purchase new or more hardware or prerequisite software. That is not the case with Unix.

  • @heal0111 but unix's flexibility is destroyed by mac being incapable of being installed on anything other than very specific hardware. also, software upgrades from microsoft do not -require- new hardware to be used, it is just recommended. that is, unless it is a new type of software (ie directx 10 vs directx 11). and even if Unix is more powerful than windows, we're at the point in technology where (in regards to home usage) you will never use 100% of either windows' or unix's processing power.

  • @gitghetto So what your saying is... not a lot. The beauty of Mac is that it is built not to break, error and crash mid-use, so if that means slightly less "flexibility" (whatever you mean by that) then so be it.

    I'd rather have something that works 100%, 100% of the time than something that quite honestly does not.

  • @heal0111 first of all, you're the one who said flexible first, so you should know exactly what i mean by flexibility. and its not slightly less, it's significantly less. if unix the biggest reason why mac is better, then just use linux. its based on unix, but is totally customizable and can be edited and manipulated to whatever suits your needs.

    and it's impossible for a commercial OS to work 100%, 100% of the time. I'll explain later if you wish, but i've reached the character limit for now.

  • @gitghetto Nobody decent makes programs for Linux, so no. Error message after error message for Microsoft, so no.

    Mac has all the software, all the security and non of the viruses +EASY access Windows 7 (without crashing when doing so) and Microsoft software... if I should need/want it.

    If people not being able to afford Mac is the issue, thats is not my problem.

  • @heal0111 uh hello, ubuntu software centre? everything you would ever need is in there

    mac has a minimal amount of software and security compared to windows. and the ease of access, at this point, is personal opinion. It's not windows that crashes, it's the crap 3rd party software that people download off the internet that does.

    and of course, you bring up the old "you cant afford a mac" argument. most people can afford a mac. it's just stupid as hell to pay out the ass for one, no matter what.

  • @gitghetto You are actually saying that mac is less security than windows...? hmmmm.. okay VIRUS xD Oh and... I like good software.

  • @heal0111 good for you. i like good software too.

    and yes, windows is far more secure than Mac, even with all the viruses. this forces microsoft to up the security on their OS. the biggest thing is though, on windows if you have a virus, you will know. on mac, if you have a virus, you will never know. this is because most mac users don't feel the need to use an AV, and mac OS itself has no virus detection system. windows, however, does. even without AV, windows will help to find the virus.

  • @gitghetto 'ClamXav' thats my anti-virus. Apple suggested it to me when I got the mac and between then and now my virus history is nil.

    With my old PC the viruses still managed to get round the built in anti-virus in Windows 7 and Avast pro so sorry, I'm not buying that Windows is more secure than mac by a long shot.

  • @heal0111 actually, mac has a large amount of holes in it's security. this may sound stupid, but the amount of viruses has nothing to do with an OS's security. ie: if you were to develop one virus for both windows and mac, both identical in effect, the probability of windows catching the virus before it causes any serious damage is far higher than the likelihood of mac OS ever finding the virus. and aside from the virus standpoint, a mac is easier to break into, no argument.

  • @gitghetto Yes, if you were to develop a virus for both windows and mac then the mac may fall down faster. But the fact is that mac viruses are incredibly rare, so your argument is irrelevant.

    My PC crashed, caught viruses and error messaged constantly.

    My Mac does not. End of. Goodbye.

  • @heal0111 if you are dumb enough not to install an antivirus program or simply reinstall the Windows, you are probably dumb enough to buy a Mac : )

  • @annybg You literally, make no sense. Go learn English.

  • @heal0111 it doesn't make sense to you, because you are fucking dumbass :)

  • @annybg Oh! Good one! Someone made a funny.

  • @annybg Du you even know what a Mac is? -.-'

  • @arisesupermaus do you even know how to spell? :)

  • @annybg Duh?

  • @gitghetto Hm. I've used Macs since I was 5, I never got viruses, important crashes, or found it slower than a PC. I use Macs because my parents need Macs because of their work, and I found they were much better than the PC we bought to try out. Despite installing all the necessary precautions, we found Macs to be a lot better. I think I will have to give in and buy a PC tho, the new iMac screen made out of glass is really a nerve-breaker for artists. btw, your argument is very one-sided.

  • mac is great if you are a little wannabe graphic artist or video editor. but when you make it to the big boys youll find that avid rules all. PS. there is literally 10 times more software to choose from for your PC, and variety is the spice of life. my vision of computing is my own vision, not steve jobs'

  • i have both... i love both... but mac is still better XD... it seems to run alot faster even though the specs are lower... besides...logic pro is only on mac... and i love logic....

  • @alexh2707 it was one of the old iBook G4's. It was ok... but it constantly crashed, and every other month the charger broke.

  • i hated my old mac

  • Apple should just release an advert like this where they completely rip the shit out of mac, just so viewers go 'EHWAAAAAA????' and then go and buy a mac and have sex with it.

    Im for PCs btw... haters gonna hate

  • @StevesBarcode yeah, i don't get why they always go on about that, you can get your pictures, put em in a folder, and view them as slide show.... I bet that takes less than a minute!

  • PC's are the cheaper option and are better value. I always find that a brand new PC will be much better than a brand new Mac of the same price.

  • i love pcs defending themselves, theyre halarious to read on youtube

  • What's the point of a photobook, you dont need to put fancy borders to look at them its a waste of time. Macs come with a bunch of shitty programs most of which you dont use and if u want to do it with any skill you would upgrade to better program which you would have to pay for anyway because of this people think it is reasonable to pay way more and because they are pretty.

  • It takes just a couple of minutes to make a photobook using any software IN THE WORLD. This is a stupid battle since both systems do the same stuff equally goodly!

  • Love the PC in those Ads just to funny character ^^

  • takes me 30 seconds to create a photobook on linux

  • @spock431 hm?

    What program do you use?

    Wait.... I just realized I don't make photobooks...

    Nevermind.

  • Conclusion: MAC is a pussy.

  • I love David he's got more of a charcter than Rob even though they're trying to make Macs look better his part is boring.

  • mac sucks

  • @crazadmin  your a fag

  • just put mac softwere on a pc

  • or vise versa

  • @mrfamilyguyx ...Windows has much more software and the good ones too so why would you want to do that?

  • I can make a photo book of 2,000 photos in a matter of minutes. It may take a LOT of minutes, but I'm still measuring it in minutes so that's all that matters.

    See my point?

    Apple has to make their commercials very vague so they don't get their asses sued off for false advertisement.

    ; )

  • as much as i love windows, windows 7 is complete bollocks, its baisicly vista with a different task bar and some fetures that you dont realy need, and looks more lyk a mac now and i personly hate macs layout.... the onli thing changed from vista to 7 is that it doesnt have the alow or unalow (forgot what it actualy was) but it doesnt even pop up that much and its not anoying, at least u no whats going on on ur pc, rather than everything being automatic

  • @3eneboy I disagree, Windows 7 is far more stable than Vista, the XP feature is useful. Mine has Ubuntu (Linux) on as well so If I need to do Multimedia, I switch to that.

  • fair enuff its more stable, but its being sold and is recognised not for that, its beacause of its "extra stuff" and new look thats selling it.

  • pc resistance is futile

  • Oakridge you are a bit out . Apple has a 12 -15% market share and Linux has about 5 % (and growing) Windows has about 80%.

    Every Mac is an Apple product and their 12% share generated over $1bn profit last year.

    Not every PC is Microsoft product. Their 80% share got them $4 billion.

    It's like comparing a family run chain of resturants making good food at high margins to a pile it high, sell it cheap franchise that sell crap, earns pennies per sale but shift lots of it!

  • osx is on my laptop, say mac is crap cause the actual pc is not the software, i prefere windows, i do video editing with sony vegas and special effects with adobe after effects

    done no more replying

  • or you could just say buy a very good pc with windows 7 and simply hackintosh if you want osx and you will have an even better mac

  • i have office at home and my college uses works, i have never had a problem nor has anyone else.

    i have really had enough of this poinless argument, macs are overpriced, there software is verygood, pcs arnt overpriced and thanks to 7 now there software is very good,its just what you want, if someone asked me about buying a mac i would say no dont waste your money if someasked about what pc to buy i would simply say include windows 7 and you can loose

  • wow calm down, i have never kwon anyone to have a compatilbily problem between office and works, macs wernt hugely sucsefful in the education business, walk into any school and all you see is windows. there is the odd mac but 99% are pcs, same with the work place. and why we are talking about work, what does osx come with?

    and macs still arnt really a big product 95% of all computers are pcs you can check that out if you want

  • windows 7 comes with works what is a simpler version of office but can pretty much do everything office can do. yes mac is a hardware company at heart but they make nuthing in there computers, cpu buy intel, gpu by nvidia mainly so there moving alot to software in that area. but apple was really unheard of in the 90s everyone had windows. these days everyone wants to try osx but dont want to spend all the money on a mac

  • Yes. The truth hurts. :( But I'll be a Mac someday ;D

  • I am a MAC and PC user, I only use the MAC's to learn them.. so I can repair them for customers and help people who are out of warranty.. I make BIG bucks, repairing MAC's, due to the parts are expensive, and well... I can charge more because MAC charges a lot. Example. Replacing a MAC G5 motherboard.. Apples price to fix, 650 USD. My price, 200 USD. Same exact part and labor... why they chargin 450 USD more?? Im comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges. Stay away from MAC!!!

  • Well the mac commercials  here says that a pc isnt capeable of making a goddamn photobok...thats why i think its a weak sellingpoint.

  • @TheZapzupNZ

    Yeah your right, i was firmly in "Camp PC" for years, i only bought an imac cause it looked smart but it completely won me over in an instant! so easy, fast, trouble free, and stylish! don't think i'd ever go back to a pc now.

  • personaly i think apple will mac more money making there os work with any pc, using dual boot. only is microsft and mac worked together again like the mac 2 hmm things would be better

  • yes, but i have never had to download drivers for anything on my pc, new drivers come out what are optional, like nvidia im about 3 drivers behind cause i cba to update, my pc runs fine now problems, i have had many compatiblity problems with mac. the only problem i had with compatibily with 7 was my sucurity and it gave me the link to fix it, one free download whats offical to fix anyproblem, yes i know macs dont get virus's but they are on a tiny amount of the market.

  • this is where you are wrong, after effects is a special effects software not a video editing software, i use it :P

    i have osx on my dell mini 10v

    its good, i like the os but to buy a mac is just overpriced junk, i aint just saying i have osx to prove a point, i prefere it to xp and vista, on my main pc i use windows 7 what i agree nicked some idears from osx but it runs better than osx yes my main pc is running on a quad core with 4gbs ram and now 1tb hard drive, cost me £500 brand new

  • well if pro software was so hard to use how come everyone uses them who has a pc

    so basically your saying buy a mac because you can make a movie or create a phot album

    so what games are out on mac

    dont say just do booth camp becuase then you would have to go buy windows just to play games. then there would be no point buying a mac when you can get a much better pc for half the price

  • well you can do all that on a pc, you could buy a pc and very pro software for cheaper than a mac

    imovie is sooo simple

    on a pc simply get sony vegas and you still under the price of 1 mac, there just a con

  • iPods have been know to overheat and explode, y'know. And Apple says the only way to get a refund is to sign a document saying that if you you tell ANYONE about it they take the money back.....feeling so freindly now do they?

  • Are you saying you're prepared to raped in the ass financially for a shiny white plastic computer just to make a photo album, something most phones can do?

  • i buy a computer to make photoalbums....yeeeeeeeaahhhh right! xD

  • linux uhhg ive never bothered with that infact the name sounds like death

  • never know until you try.

  • its not a commercial, dumbass

  • It is.

  • it is a Mac commercial, dumbbutt.

  • Yes it is a commercial its just the one they air in the UK not the US

  • Linux for the win

    To much viruses to be caught on windows

    Mac's cost too much money.

    Linux is free and only 5 % of all viruses harm it.

  • a different operating system but its a lot less popular and well known also it doesnt really come with any computers and its not as easy to use as the other 2

  • why would it matter if someone knows what linux is or not? Its really only used for web servers anyway. How many people actually run linux as their primary operating system? not many.

  • It does matter. Ignorance is bliss for dumb. Linux is not only using for servers. Try and learn what is Linux before commenting. There are exponentially increasing users for Linux than any other OS, many as primary OS. keep update otherwise u will always be the slaves of Mac/Windows.. Surprised to see so much illiterates out here lolz.

  • It does matter. Ignorance is bliss for dumb. There are exponential increase in the use of Linux than any other OS, many as primary OS. Its not just servers. Try and learn What is Linux before putting lame comments. Keep upto date otherwise, you guys will be the slaves of Mac/Windows till death. Surprised to see so much illiterates out here lolz.. get life

  • Excuse me?? before u assume that u know more about computers than everyone else (which i would bet u dont unless u are also a programmer). What I was saying is that Linux is not a commercial and well-known os for people with normal and average computer knowledge

  • Yes, I m a programmer. I like programming in Linux than in any other OS. Linux is pretty easy to use now even for a newbie. There are million newbie users for Linux and they finds it easy to use. U worth calling a dumb lolz... not interested to waste my time to comment for a lazy dumb. . be with ur OS.

  • let me lay this to rest. I am a mac user I also know Linux quite well, and I like it. that said, Linux is not the best out there either. I am sick and tired of everyone bashing everyone else and calling them dumb for which computer you use. I happen to prefer Macs over Linux and well above PC, that's because Macs are perfect for what I do (graphic design, videos, web design) and you would find it quite hard to find industry standard programs for LInux, and don't even try and sell me The Gimp.

  • sorry, I was bit angry that day in replying to such fighting...partly bored by the Mac, Windows fighting all over. U r right. Linux doesn't have high end softwares, because its open-free not commercial. I am a scientific programmer, which makes me Linux fav. But nowadays even a newbie can use it.

  • Dorks, HAHA

  • aw... i just realized i got a -5 for calling them dorks.

    i meant dorks in a loving way! :P

    mitchell and webb are 2 of my heroes!

  • linux is nice, if you are willing to spend time to learn how to use it

    the average consumer isn't willing to do that, they want out of the box performance, which macs and windows pc's deliver

  • speed is not quality mate

  • but time is money :)

  • I like the accent. It gives the commercial new life.

  • stupid commercial but anyway , on a pc i can have absolutely anything mac has which is about 10% and much much more, almost for got i am going to play some online games on a pc with my

    friends, come on mac fans lets battle !!!  o wait you cant , sory

  • loser

  • Comment removed

  • that sounded so lame,is games all u do for a living?

  • You have a problem with people playing games?

  • is making picturebooks all you do for a living?

    n00b

  • Exactly! The quality accuracy and speed of a PC or Mac is entirely dependent upon the knowledge of its builder and operator. So, if your PC sucks ass, learn how to build and maintain them correctly or perhaps buy it from some other manufacture next time. Macs run better only because Apple controls their technology with an iron thumb, and will not let others build them or produce software for it without strict controls: severely hampering innovation.

  • actually on a mac you can boot and OS you want extremely easily, so you can play your little pc games

    xbox is fine for me... one thing microsoft got right... if you ignore the whole red ring thing

    in fact, if you can run 2 OSs on a mac if you want, you just need to get parallels desktop

  • Neither Mac or PC are great.. GO UBUNTU lol jk.

    All computers can do great things, they just do it differently.

  • Takes me couple minutes to do the same on Windows.

  • Nope. It doesn't... iPhoto has an awesome photo-book editor, which you can get printed professionally from Kodak and sent to you as a hard- or soft-cover book. So, STFU&D.

  • Typical mac fag - knows absolutely nothing.

    With Windows Live, I can make a photo book in just a couple minutes. Updating my blog, sharing those photos with others or simply IMing them is a snap. If I want a professional looking photo book, I can order customized prints of my photos directly from 70,000 worldwide photo-printing partners.

    Now go on and play your video games, little child.

  • Yeah, it takes avout three times the time. :-) And why do you bring in Windows Live?

  • Maybe it does. However, I'm not in a hurry and can wait 2 minutes to create a photo book.

    I brought up Windows Live, because it's a Windows' version of iPhoto.

  • dells just plain suck, no doubt about it

  • dell ripped me of for hundreds of pounds...

  • dell is going downhill. They are dying.

  • DELL raped me of £800 english poundssssssss

    The SWINES!

  • dells so suck i agree

    they crash easily

  • 95% of the time the reason why a computer crashes is because of a user error. The other 5% is mostly because of hardware failure.

  • I agree. The only reason it probably crashes is because you're doing something stupid with it. My Dell works perfectly.

  • fair point I should have said pc that can run os x for the best of both worlds at the end of the day they are both monopolies trying to rip us all off.

    so being limited to either is a very bad idea maybe a REALLY GOOD FREE Linux build will save us all from these greedy bastards in the future and all games will use opengl to kill this direct x so there will really be no need for vista.

  • Why the hell are they even called PCs anyway should be Windows or even IBM's, PC stands for personal computer so a mac is a pc <_<

  • Especially now, since the guts are basically the same.

  • ooh you just lawyered them.

  • yep, just pay $3000 for a piece of hardware that can make photobooks. Wow, thats a good arguement for why people should invest double in a piece of software which does less.

  • no get a dell and install os x for banking web surfing ect and a partition for win xp x64 bit for games ... BEST setup

  • dell sucks ass.

  • The only huge difference that really matters is the PC's are released with errors, and Macs arent. Who cares about touch screen, or the 1 button mouse, its the way the computer runs!

    Macs are easy to learn, and i aint even got one :D

  • 'silence in court'.

    he's a joker.

    xx

  • hmm....

    OBJECTION!

    Macs does not have a very good marketing department...

    How much money would they make if they created garageband for Wiindows?

    Even though they kick ass, they are too expensive.

    I conclude by saying "Get a Dell with Vista"

  • dell's suck

  • Another sophisticated PC user? Must be frustrated by his OS...

    Or maybe it's Ballmer himself?
