New Get a Mac ads: PC Choice Chat, Elimination, Customer Care

i wonder if hodgeman write some of the adverts: they're very much his style.

meh...............

Kalamazoo made the ad!

Wow, those were some direct hits back to MS and their lame-o laptop hunter ads and I'm a PC ads. MS just doesn't have the smarts or the style to take on Apple's advertising.

For those British people who are interested, John Hodgman (the PC guy) will appear in an episode of QI some time in the autumn - he was an extra guest at recording last week, which I saw.

The "Customer Support" ad is probaily the most true one I've seen Apple make because I, ironically enough, work for a contractor repairing Dell computers (depsite I own a MacBook (Late 08) and even for US we go though ALLOT of headaches talking to Dell's customer support. For the customers however, its far worse, they go to Indian script readers who you can barely understand and just tell them to do things that doesn't help at all. Most support reps are like that...

While I had a simple question back when I had a iPod Classic (I own an iPhone now) and called Apple and it took about 3-5 minutes to get in contact to a rep and they were very helpful. And ofcourse their advertising here their "Geniuses" from their store as well, which from my experience are far better trained than the Best Buy Geek Squad.

I'm really bored of these ads now. I wish they would try something different

Yeah, the "I am a megan" was a good touch. People have forgotten that the Mac and PC are personifications of computers not their (stereo)typical users. Besides, I would never identify myself by the operating system I use.

"Hi, how are ya."
"Good!"
"I'm a Mac."
"I'm a Megan."

That made me smile, it was so cute. Do I detect a dig at MS' "I'm a PC" ads as well with that last line? :)

Belly laugh with the "Elimination" one! I was wondering when they were going to strike back because of the "laptop hunter" ads.

Well done.
