Apple creates another web ad, Microsoft isn’t on the internet yet

Apple, who seems to have a habit of creating news web ads that take over almost every ad spot on the New York Times homepage, is at it again with their “#1 In Customer Experience” ad. This ad shows how a recent survey reveals that Apple is #1 in customer experience. As usual, PC tries to find a way around this by getting opinions from two men on the left side of the website. When given the chance to talk, these two men then praise how Macs are so easy to use and how helpful the Genius Bar can be. As always, it ends out with Mac on top again.

New laptop hunter ad even more disgusting

In my ongoing battle against the Microsoft Laptop Hunter ads, Microsoft has given me more reasons to complain with their latest ad. This time around it features a lady named Sheila who is looking for a computer for under $2,000 that will help her with her video editing. She ends up getting an HP HDX, but not before mentioning that MacBooks only come with 2GB RAM standard for under $2,000. Throughout the whole ad, her only real argument is that the PC she purchased has a larger screen size, which is nice for editing.

Second Microsoft ad proves to be worse than the first (video)

Microsoft is at it again with another one of their new series of ads attacking Macs for their price, as well as other things. In their first ad with Lauren, she wandered into the “Mac Store” but didn’t end up buying anything because there was no computer for under $1,000. She then made her way to Best Buy where she happily purchased a PC. I can see where Microsoft was coming from with that ad, as I will admit that Macs are pricey. However, I will also say that it’s worth the extra cost. On the other hand, I have some issues with their new ad.
