Looks like Microsoft’s marketing campaign taking shots at again. I really doubt its working.
“Macs to me is really only about aesthetics more than computing power.”
Being an Apple Fanboy, Mac’s are about sexyness and being user-friendly. They have as much computing power as that crappy-ass HP you bought and you can run almost any OS on it. Also, it’s easy to buy a PC laptop when someone is buying it for you. I mean heck, I’d buy a PC laptop if someone handed me straight cash after I bought it.
Congratulations, Giampaolo. You’re a PC and a hired actor that might have received an HP laptop.
(Yes. I understand I’m going to get flamed for this.)

They do make (or try too) valid points:
1. Macs are expensive, you’re paying a premium because they prevent competition by sourcing their own hardware.
2. Macs tends to be underspec’d.
Both of these came through in the ad in a realatively confused manner. Point 2 only matters if you’re paying money for higher specs than PCs give you anyway. They didn’t address the ability to customize at all, which I found weird.
