First Microsoft tried to go for the viral comedic route with their Seinfield commercials.  All they got was the comedic WTF response.  Then they went with the EVERYONE is a PC and so should you.  Then they branched off of that idea with little kids showing how easy it is to talk in front of a camera and pretend you know how to use the computer.  Now they get even more desperate by saying, Apple is expensive!

My response is “NO DUH!”  Everyone and their moms know about the “Apple tax.”

Sure PC laptops are cheaper.  But in my experience, how long do they REALLY last? Yes, I’m an Apple Fanboy and I like all things shiny. But Microsoft needs to hire an outside marketing agency that has better ideas.  If they are already hiring an outside marketing agency for the past ideas, then I’m thinking that the awesome ideas came from that agency, made its way to the top big heads of Microsoft and at that point, got butchered in the crap you see online and on tv now.

Btw, its easy to buy a laptop under $1,000 when the money you are using isn’t yours.  Heck, I’d even buy one for under a “G” if it was free. So, yes, congrats Lauren and Microsoft for pointing out the obvious.  Apple is expensive.
