This video is the stupidest ad that Microsoft could ever create. First off why would some random consumer chick want a 17″ screen? Seriously? I work in production and do photography and even I don’t want a 17″. Of course Apple has expensive computers. The 17″ is $2799 for good reason. It’s for production use. Not to say some fool couldn’t buy it just to buy it but come on. No one needs a 17″ unless your doing production work. The pixels get more condensed as you get bigger in size. Her buying the 17″ is to assume she wants a bigger screen when all you get is squinted eyes. Anyways enough of my ranting…just watch this shitastic movie!

You know why this ad is severely flawed, not necessarily because she wants a large screen, but because of her last line. “I’m PC and I got JUST what I wanted”. It the ad business that’s an awful line to use!
Getting just what you wanted instead of more than you wanted is bad advertising. Also, they advertised $1000 mac that had a 13″ screen. I’d take that even over a 25″ screen for a PC.
Dude that is exactly right! I saw this at work today and almost died. Couldn’t believe how sad their advertising has become. Too bad…
Not only all that, but what you get for the $699 is total crap. The 17″ screen has a 1440×900 resolution. Apple’s 13″ has a 1280×800, and it’s 4″ smaller. Apple’s 17″ has a whopping 1920×1200… THAT’S HD.
Sure the other one has a big screen, but you can fit as much as one small window in it with its crappy resolution. Also, its memory is DDR2…. SLOW. And it’s 1.7″ thick, Apple’s? 1″ or less. Beat THAT.
