The Battle Continues - Macs versus PCs

For a couple of months now, Windows has been running the Laptop Hunters ads attacking

Laptop Hunter.


The “I’m a Mac and I’m a PC” ads were started by Apple, depicting PC users as boring fat, bald guys in their 40s. Those were a series of ads hitting the PC population but we haven’t heard of any uproar similar to this one.

Microsoft fought back with their own “I’m a PC” ad later on and even had that one by Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.

What’s most surprising about this ad is that it’s true — the price range for Macs ($999 to $2,799) are just beyond the reach of a lot of people who wanted laptops for simple tasks like word processing and surfing. That’s why netbooks, mostly under $500, are very hot in the market today.


Then Apple fires back at Laptop Hunters...


PC tries to match Megan with a PC, but, alas, Megan wants something “that works without crashing, or viruses, or a ton of headaches,” so she ends up with a Mac.
