Get a Mac Ads: 'Fastest Windows Vista notebook'
Apple has posted a new 'Get a Mac' ad on their website: Misprint. The new television ad is the latest in the ongoing campaign feature Justin Long and John Hodgman as 'Mac' and 'PC'.
Misprint focuses on a recent honor by PCMag.com who listed the MacBook Pro as the fastest Windows Vista notebook for 2007.
Meanwhile, a second ad has been spotted by readers but not yet posted on Apple's website. This final ad shows 'PC' offering up his suit to 'Mac' for winning the title of fastest Vista laptop.
Apple has recently expanded the 'Get a Mac' ads into creative web campaigns that were recently featured on a number of sites. An early creative 'Get a Mac' web ad (video) was spotted a number of months ago and featured U.K. 'Get a Mac' actors, David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows.

Sorry for the lame title, it's all I could come up with on Spot.
On the network, TNT during "The Closer," I just spotted a new "Get a Mac" ad not shown on the Apple Website.
PC is dressed in his underwear, sox, and an undershirt, with his normal suit attire neatly hung on a Hanger.
Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac...
PC: ... and I'm a PC. Well Mac, here ya go, Congratulations, it's yours. (Handing his clothes to Mac)
Mac: Uh, PC I don't understand.
PC: PC world did a test. Apparently the fast Windows Vista Laptop is Mac, so to the Victor, the spoils.
Mac: Oh, you don't have to...
PC: Take good care of her, Mac. She's a beaut.
Mac: Ah, PC I'm flattered but I am actually pretty excited about my new operating system, Leopard. It's got tons of new features... (PC rolls eyes) ... but Hey you still still run Vista pretty fast, PC.
PC: Yeah, that's true. Second fastest (proudly).
Mac: Second Fastest!!
PC: In the world!!
Mac: Not.... bad at all...
PC: Ha heh.... second best! (Raising arms up in Victory.)
iMac Logo.
I'm not capable of YouTubing this anytime soon, so if anyones willing to beat me to it, go right ahead.

oh great they made an advert on something that was heavily contested at the time.
I really wish apple would take a different direction with their adverts.

Yeah I was surprised by the subject matter myself, but I'd figure I'd go ahead and post it.

There is apparently more than one ad on the same topic, because the one I saw has a completely different scenario and dialog.
Either way, the ad is up on the Apple site.

The boxer one is hilarious, and I found misprint pretty fun as well.
Although some do not like the snobbishness advertising Apple does with some of these commercials, at least they are getting more legitimate statements of , "We are better in this way, and this is why" it just happens to be in a comical snobby way.
I like them.
