I've always been amazed at how bad PC commercials are compared to what Apple does. After all, they have market share, gobs more $, and yet their commercials have been terrible compared to whatever Apple has produced.
You might say the last couple with the kids using the image app were an improvement, considering some parents might buy into their spin (I'm a PC). I still thought they were pretty lame but maybe they just didn't even want to try to compete with the usual Apple "coolness".
Now I've seen the new one with the 'picky" young guy shopping for a laptop a few times and I think they might have finally come up with a marketing spin that couldt be a bit effective. The guy says something like he loves the aesthetics of the Mac laptops but they are too expensive and doesn't want to pay all the extra $ simply for the brand. Very clever spin and I'll bet there will be some who buy it.
But on another note, I walked past the Apple store in Menlo Park, NJ today at lunchtime and the place was absolutely mobbed. It was a stark contrast to the number of stores that were shuttered or going out of business in the mall.
I still think these PC ad dweebs have some catching up to do.
