That's the fucking point. They go in with a budget, and the macs are above budget. You'd fit right into what they are looking for.

But they give them the money to buy it and say "buy what you want!" If anybody else was flipping the bill I'd have a Mac, I wouldn't be cheap with another persons bread :D

The whole premise of the commercials is that they only give them $1000 to spend.

No they don't. They say "what's your budget".

Why is this so hard? :confused:

The point is to find a computer under 1k and new macs don't exist at that price. It's not like their giving you 1,700 bucks...

Even with someone else's money, you get more for the same price with a PC.

for me a Mac would be better, because Logic isn't a program you can get for a PC. I can't afford a Mac but if they approached me to do this commercial I wouldn't be leaving the Best Buy with a Sony VAIO or HP that's for sure. saying you get more is subjective, depends on what you want to use it for.

It will be cheap for a tablet if the rumored price is true. I haven't seen any other tablets in the same price range. Some of their products aren't overpriced. I picked up my 16gb touch for $299 when it launched, and it does far more than any other PMP on the market so it was actually a steal *shrug*

You still don't get it.

If they give you 700 bucks you won't be walking out of the store with a mac because there isn't a mac in that price range. And that's the whole point.

At this point save every single dime you have to get a Mac because you really need this.

so you're like .0000000000001% of the population and this commercial doesn't apply to you. stfu and stop saying it's dumb ad because YOU wouldn't need a PC.

I fucking hate the interracial couple's commercial.

"We want a laptop that can share pictures of our fucking mudblood son with family."

Wow...amazing...must have been a very in depth search trying to find a laptop that can share photos.

Not as in depth as your search will be for access to our forums. I have no time and less tolerance for bigoted pricks like you.

GOOD BYE.

I don't even like those commercials, but the fact that Apple called MS makes me giggle. Oh Apple.

Commercials do nothing for me. For me, if I was given a choice of a Mac or a PC, totally free, no matter the cost, I take the Mac. If I had to pay for it, I would buy a PC.
