Apple's Latest Ads Continue to Respond to Microsoft's Campaign
Apple has started airing two more "Get a Mac" ads featuring Justin Long as "Mac" and John Hodgman as "PC". The latest ads continue to target Microsoft's aggressive Laptop Hunters campaign which has focused on Apple's relatively higher prices than comparably equipped PCs.
The new ad called Top of the Line features actor Patrick Warburton who is best known for his portrayal of David Puddy from the Seinfeld sitcom. The new ad focuses on potential viruses and other "headaches" that may affect PCs, but not Macs. A second ad called Surprise was also posted today delivering a similar message.

It's not as clever as I'd hope Apple would make it, but a decent response to those Laptop Hunter ads.

Slightly off topic, but I saw an HP ad a day or so ago where a girl is holding a laptop and going over all the benefits of it. The catch? Even though there was no face and the voice sounded different, she claimed to be "Lauren" and she was "still a PC." Already, the MS ads have jumped the shark. lol

I too think surprise takes this one.
Just today I had to help someone with a windows. It was rather, well, slow and painful for me. Ugh! I have since returned home and am now typing on my mac and staring at my cinema display. :D
