They can spend $700 now and if the computer is slow in 3yrs they can spend $50 on a good software cleaner to remove malicious software and speed up their machine like it is new and avoid spending $1000+ in the first place. Spend a little time and clean your machine! Treat your computer like a car the better you take care of it the longer it will last.

I enjoy these commercials. They show a decent share of people that you don’t have to spend a ton of money on a laptop. I am a IT technician and work on MAC, Microsoft and Linux PCs Laptops and servers. I have seen my fair share of Virus infections on both MAC and Microsoft computers. If they are to buy a $700 laptop and avoid those malicious websites their laptop can last as long as the parts will allow. My Microsoft laptop(7+yrs) has out lasted all of the MAC book Pros I have seen.

First things first, Olivia is SUPER hot. Nice Work Matt… Second, to all you Mac fans: Mac’s are great as long as you don’t live in the real world & use your computer online a lot. Safari sucks a** and quits for no reason every 10 seconds & you can’t even fill out most online forms because EVERYTHING is made to work with Explorer. Basically, unless you do some kind of design work for a living, a Mac is an overpriced paperweight. I am using a G4 as we speak (it’s my finace’s) and I hate this f**king thing. I don’t have virus problems on my PC because I don’t troll unknown porn sites & keep my firewall & virus protection up to date. It’s not that hard…

OMG OMG OMG! Macs are just sooooo excellent. I used to have settle for an Identity but now those awesome marketers at Apple told me i could buy a complete ILife instead!!!! It’s just so cool. Now I just sit and look dreamy like at my Mac…all day long sometimes. Macs never have any issues. Never. Never never. It’s so cool maybe tomorrow I’ll boot it up….then maybe not I’m pretty busy with my ILife right now.

It’s about time Microsoft bites back, Apple has been trying to put down Windows for too long. It’s gotten old. I can’t believe Apple asked Microsoft to stop playing this ad.

I’m impressed that you’re warning them (us?) of the fire, and not standing by idle while they burn.

[...] Of course, they rip on Macs for being “too small” and too expensive and with a $700 budget they weren’t in danger of getting a Mac in the first place. [CrunchGear] [...]

I love these ads… they’re like a stale connect-the-dots picture:

1. Go Into Best Buy
2. Look at PC’s you don’t want
3. Look at Macs
4. Say they’re too expensive
5. Find 2 PC’s you like
6. Choose one
7. Buy
8. Smile

I actually liked the first one, but let’s branch out a bit and try something new.

That argument got old when XP came out. Obviously you’ve been using a Mac for 8 years and don’t know anything about Windows so you’re excused.

Yes Mike is one of those people who knows just enough to cause himself trouble.
I have 10 Windows based PC’s running at my house, they all run perfectly fine, not a virus to be seen for years. The problem is not the windows machine, it is simply the fact that writing a virus or malware for a mac is not lucrative for the author. Once Macs gain enough popularity, they too will be targets.

At that point in time, Windows machines will still be the stronger of the two because of hardened security that keeps being tested by idiot malware authors.

So go for it mac people, do whatcha gotta do.

They can spend 700 now and another 700 in a couple years when that PC starts crawling from viruses…or they can just buy a mac now and save themselves the trouble.

PCs are short term solutions, macs make it for the long haul.

Bit she can buy whatever she wants, she’s hot.
