The new 13" Mac Books look nice and seem price competitive maybe I'll pick one up next year on clearance. :) Apple's share of the market has grown over the last years, so the ads are working for some.

I haven't used a Mac in years, pre OS X in fact, so I'd like to try a Mac but don't want to spend the money. The new 13″ Mac Books look nice and seem price competitive maybe I'll pick one up next year on clearance. :)

I really have to hand it to Mac, they have good graphic designers and ad staff. But they didn't persuade me to get a Mac when I got a graduation present earlier this year. The fact is that Vista, despite all the whinging about it, does work. I have also used Macs lately, and they are annoyingly slow, even in Windows mode. Windows has worked fine for me for years and years. The actual point of them is that supposedly Macs are more cool than stodgy PCs.

The PC guy is likable and sympathetic and endearingly funny, the Mac guy is a hipster doofus. Maybe they're working but they always look like preaching to the choir to me.
