Your thoughts?

Talk about the commercial - not your nerdish hard on for your manufacturer of choice.

 

[GenHoth]

Duh?

 

[OCGuy]

Still beats using that metro in the Apple commercials.

The girl has been in several low budget horror flicks, so chances of naked vids of her online are more than likely to appear in the next few days.

gee big shock.


but damn she is good looking.

 

[lifeobry]

Why would they do this?

I've lost all faith in Microsoft. I'll now refer to them as Micro$oft. Because they're all about the money.

I like the "I'm a PC" kids commercials.

I think you need to calibrate your sarcasm meter.

I'll let you in on a little secret:

They all look like that here.

Whats the big deal, I thought it was obvious she's an actress. Doesnt really take away from the main message that you can't get a 17 apple laptop for under $1000, which was the main point of the commercial. Apple is guilty of more ridiculous lies in its commercials. At least this girl is more pleasant to look at than Justin 'uberdouche' Long

Where is "here" exactly?

 

[Jeff7]

First we learn that reality TV is staged or scripted, and now they're using actors in "reality" commercials???

What's the world comin' to, Edith? Damn hippies...

My interests, they are piqued.

This is why I still only use PCs. Windows is fine and I can't justify spending extra money just so apple can justify the fact that it's selling "coolness".

Not really. The build quality of say a Mac Book Pro is unmatched in the PC world. The closest you'll find is the Adamo from Dell and it's even more expensive.

Some of it is about cool factor, sure. But some of us like nice things, do why carry around janky plastic Dell notebook if you can afford something better?

 

[RagingBITCH]

What dumbass thinks they're real people?

Here is Los Angeles.

Side note - I can't find her representation anywhere which leads me to believe they actually DID make an effort to find a "normal" person - as far as normal people in LA go.

I bet she owns a mac.

A non-actor/ess person would be "umming" and "liking" and we wouldn't want to watch it. They probably filmed a whole bunch of these and then went with the ones that were the most entertaining. It is quite possible that someone who acts as a side job would get picked because they are more personable on camera.

That's not unheard of.

Many times breakdowns go out asking for submissions of actors that actually use such and such a product.

Oh?

Interesting that even a fairly impartial review has to spend a paragraph on the packaging. Newsflash, it's garbage! In 5 minutes it'll be in your trash can. I know people grasp at straws to justify overpaying for stuff, but this is the second review I've found of an Apple product which praised its packaging, and all I can do is stare in wonder.

looks and track-pad usability are what macs have and nothing more. nobody has used a adama long enough to be able to comment on the "build quality". and unless all you do is point and click on that Macbook Pro, then the productivity gained from having a bigger trackpad with gesture will soon be surpassed by the unparalleled keyboard of Thinkpads, or, to have 2 or 3 cheaper computers for the price you paid for one.

I do like the Apple dancer girl in one of the iphone commercials though, i think she's way cuter than Lauren.
