This ad was weak...All the anti-PC ads are weak. They make false claims like PC isn't easy to use, and they make it sound as if the moment you turn it on you'll get a virus. I've had 1 virus over the past 6 years. Better than I can say for most Macs.
Unfortunately, PC vendors don't tell customers that you get what you pay for. Sure, it may be cheap first had, but then it's gonna rack up more money in the long run, far more than the price for a Mac.
Mac has its own virus, it's just rare because the machine is not popular. Another reason is Mac has a simpler system.
I personally think PC is more user friendly with more shortcut keys (it really helps). Some said Mac is for designers...well, maybe (it benefited modern typographers like Zuzana Licko of Emigre) but not now. Adobe in Mac is just weird, inconsistent and limited shortcut keys, limited video conversions etc.
No viruses because Microsoft has so much of the market, pc viruses are way easier to spread. If ppl created/focused on macs, they'd find them just as (if not more) insecure.
haha i just saw this commercial on TV and came on youtube to post a comment saying that sam thing!! =p but you beat me to it.. but yeah itz true, the only reason why pc'z are so "prone to viruses" is because pc'z are wayyyy more common, therefore therez more virusez for pc'z, rather than macs.. dude think about it, macs backwards = scam!!!!
i love how the mac guy is supposed to be all cool while the pc guy is all nerdy...mac is rediculous...they have no computing power their most recent computers are like only as good as pcs from years back....Apple is good at one thing...making iPods... so they should stick to it...Macintrash=horrible computer
Any thing electronic can be hacked...apple is just as easy as a PC. A PC has more protection than Macs for the fact that more people use them. Its the whole Beta vs VHS...Beta = better but VHS = had more money for marketing. Same with BOSE, cheap Chinese made garbage...but the best marketing plan in the wor
After that iPhone vulnerability was discovered a few weeks ago, it was also announced that Macs are easier to exploit than PCs. I can't believe Apple is still trying to sell these as "safe from viruses"
I want a computer that has a fast processor and a big screen that doesn't have a ton of viruses... I would suggest Linux and any good PC over either Windows or a Mac. And face it, all the best programs are for Windows ('cept final cut), so just dual-boot.
The tall guy sounds like the same guy that does the voice of Brock Samson, ("Venture Brothers"), Kronk, ("Emperor's New Groove"), and Joe the Cop ("Family Guy"). ...am I right? Or even close? Sounds like him.
I thought the guy's voice sounded familiar, I was actually taking a guess, thanks for confirming. However, the snide attitude at the end of your comment wasn't really necessary though.
just buy a PC, 1000 times better than a mac, than after that put OS X on it, thats what i did! and i prefer it better than buying a overpriced mac that i can't change where now i got a computer 10 times better than any mac!
good campaign but a virus can happen on almost any computer regardless of PC or Mac...i would get a MacBook Pro but the one i want is like 2000...ill stick with a PC for now
Lol, you obviously don't understand marketing schemes and smear campaigns... Do you really think the computer that is doing far better in sales/retailing or which is of a better quality would need to voice itself as such? Think again... Notice how PC feels absolutely no need to retaliate? The sales and the quality are proof enough you fool.
I find it odd that people insult these ads. This campaign is obviously effective if it can get over six thousand people to watch it when they don't have to.
I say: celebrate diversity! Can't Macs and PCs live in harmony? I like 'em both.
The truth is those adds are there to prevent you from having buyers remorse... sure esthetically macs look better... but in the end... you can do everything you want on a PC and you know it. So Apple invest millions of dollars to boost up your egos to make sure your heads are so big that you can't even comprehend what they are really trying to do... It call comes down to $, Jobs wouldn't do this if it didn't give them $ and all you fanboys are playing right into his hands. Great job.
I don't give a shit about macs or PCs... I just don't like watching obviously biased insinuating adds which tell... small minded people what to think... You ever wondered... what would happen if Apple stopped telling everyone that PCs were capable of getting viruses... Do you really think it would still justify the reason in paying double that in which you can get the same somewhere else? You are being fooled into believing what you paid for was worth it. HAHAHAHA and you sit here defending it
All ads are biased toward the product they are selling. That's the very nature and purpose of advertising. It's a funny, memorable ad campaign. It did not make me choose Mac over my PC though.
The top of the line guy is awesome i never remember hs name but he is definately one of my favorite actors. I mean come on who doesn't love David Putty and Joe from family guy? Not to mention Cronk from emperors new groove
I can't speak for either mac or pc but for myself, I have always had pc's and switched just over a year ago to mac. I have never gotten a virus on the mac and have not changed my habits online one bit. I am very happy with its performance however, I am not a gamer and if I was I would have a pc for that purpose only. The whole mac v.s pc fight is entertaining at least! If you try a mac you will be impressed for sure.
"If MAC can say there is absolutely 0 viruses for their apple computers then I would sell my HP now and buy one. "
That's the thing, MACs do have viruses. Surely not as many, but that's due to their unpopularity. Also, removing a virus/trojan isn't that hard. at all.
lol if macs are completely free of viruses.. Why in Snow-Lepard does it have a built in anti-Virus? HAHAHA
Its just like windows now hahaha... you were ahead.. but now your at the same level... PC didn't even catch up.. apple just dropped down.. hahahahahaha
snow-lepard has the anti-virus for the same reason the u.s. government spent billions of dollars because some whacko was able to poison 3 people with anthrax. Someone, someday MAY be able to create a virus for Mac that actually does some damage. I call that being ahead of the game.
My bullshit detector is jumping off the fucking HOOK. DAM. all I've ever used is pc's and I have NEVER gotten a virus EVER! and the only people who express their artistic ability on a Mac are the ones who HAVE NONE! if you honestly need a Mac to do any kind of art, you seriously need to take one giant step back and reevaluate your life, because all the artwork on macs are created by artists, not you. and photoshop works better on a pc so kiss my ass.
maybe, its a good argument but a thing that a lot of pc owners i know say they hate about macs is that evereything is named differently on a mac versues a pc, it really alll depends what you want from a computer, buissnes people find pcs more cost efficant and artists find mac easier to express their creative abilities with
it all depends what you used first i've been using a PC for years and i find macs confusing, thats not to say that they arent good computers but theyre not what im used to, they are two different ways of getting to the same thing neither is better than the other but they are still very different, its all about your preference and what youre used to
Well, they may be two different ways to get the same thing accomplished, but I think you'll find the Mac does those thing more efficiently (literally) ... saving time, frustration and over the long term, money. The learning curve is minimal as the Mac user interface is more intuitive than Windows.
People here seem to have a lot hang-ups about the prices of Macs. It's very true that Macs are more expensive than PCs, but it's not because Apple's products are aesthetically pleasing. My sister bought a new PC off-the-shelf at Best Buy because it was cheaper. It came with a lot of memory-expensive adware and trial software, which is probably why the computer was inexpensive. Macs don't come with this type of software, which part of the reason why they're so much more expensive.
No you don't, they're underhanded, manipulative deceivers who are as bad as any other marketing company. Only because their stuff is lapped up by hipster douches do they stay afloat.
The retarded stupidity of this advert boggles the mind. But then again, Apple do target incompetent idiots who find pressing a button to turn their computers on as a daunting task in itself.
Apple claim that they're completely secure and that you won't get virus, trojans and malware with them. Why then, are they releasing a basic anti-malware program with their next OS?
Apple machines are grossly over priced but because they're shiny (And you know how stupid people love the shinies) crave them. You remember those adds, the original version of the current adds where you had that old hag bemoaning Windows based machines because you had to push a button to turn it on?
Or how about trying to do repairs on Macs? You want to repair or even upgrade your generic/branded Windows based PCs and you can. You try that with a Mac and you're in for a world of pain and headaches.
Then you have the outlandish prices. You can get similarly specced hard ware from Dell or any of those idiots.
And before you say it, yes Vista is crap. MS screwed the pooch royally but it's replacement, W7 seems to be something to look forward to. There are people saying it runs well on
Macs were virtually virus-free, because all viruses were targeted towards PC's. Apple is now installing anti-malware because they're becoming more widespread. It's not as if you can't install basic protection yourself on a Mac, though.
Not really. I got my iMac for $1400, which runs amazingly better than any PC I've ever owned. Imo, they're well worth the price.
I'd much rather have a computer with a bigger screen and faster processor.
And you have to be retarded to not get any virus protection. Microsoft have free software for that.

Not really. I got my iMac for $1400, which runs amazingly better than any PC I've ever owned. Imo, they're well worth the price.

I had a mac for two years in my Graphic Design program and I wanted to run it over with the car. I can't stand them.
