| Bitmap Frogs said: From an advertising point of view the ad is very, very good. My only caveat is that MS is the dominant corporation and talking about competition when you are top dog ain't usually a good thing to do. Now, personally... the laptop she ended up "picking" (obviously the whole thing is scripted and she's an actress/model) has been identified and it is a POS: low rez screen with poor IQ and viewing angles, AMD processor, slow RAM, integrated graphics and shared video/system memory; in a nutshell a piece of shit. The ad is teaching consumers to go for the big numbers (gigs of ram, gigs of HDD, screen inches) while ignoring critical elements to properly gauge a computer's performance. Anyways it'll be interesting to see what apple's ad agency concocts to fight it back. Marketing wars are always funny to watch =) |
And whats wrong with AMD? they are way better than those greedy bastards known as Intel and are much better in $/performance. Plus in most applications for the common user they are just as good as intel cpu's or in some cases better (battery life).
Anyways actually that wasnt a half bad laptop. Obviously not the best but it was good. I recently bought one very similiar but with a little more awesomeness and its a really good computer. (2.4 Ghz cpu, 4 GB DDR2 ram, 500 GB HDD, Nvidia 9800M, and blu ray player) all for $1200. A complete steal if you ask me and much better than any macbook
I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!
