Get a Mac – Apple’s New Commercials
Apple has a whole new wave of commercials featuring PC and Mac. Instead of wanting to punch the Mac kid in the gut, I actually laughed. These commercials are enjoyable AND they show the little ways that Macs are better without insulting my intelligence.
After hating their other commercials with the same idea, I’m surprised at how much I like these ones. I don’t know if they toned down the smarmyness of the Mac or if they used better reasons why the Mac is the kind of computer to use, but I really liked these. You can see them all right here:
I love the Angel/Demon commercial:
“Oh, FUN! We tried that once. It was nothing but pain and frustration!â€
For some reason, these commercials turned the mocking from an external source (Mac) to an internal source (PC). It’s almost like PC is berating himself for not being a Mac and that makes it much more acceptable to me.
Good job, Apple. I like these commercials MUCH better!
