Intel's new anti-Mac adverts are hilarious - but for all the wrong reasons

[Redaktion]

The five new "Justin Gets Real" videos from Intel will likely make you laugh, but it seems unlikely that's what Team Blue was gunning for when the company managed to snatch up "Get a Mac" veteran Justin Long to head its new anti-Mac "Go PC" ad campaign.

I liked these ads! I find them pretty accurate, relevant and to the point. Nothing like the article says.

I get the strong urge to buy an AMD laptop after watching these ads. Anything Intel does, AMD seems to be doing better in the ads.

Yet another embarrassing appearance from Intel. Still looking for the fun in it.
I guess those clips are useful though. Useful to AMD and Apple, that is. There seems to be consensus in the 2021 laptop market that AMD and Apple are the way to go, and Intel is still barking about their failure to keep up. Oh, teh irony.

Let me get this straight Intel, so Thunderbolt does not allows connecting more than 1 display? Are you sure? I mean, you developed it, so if you say it's sh*t I believe it... but that is just desperate (at best) or dishonest (at worst) -- congratulations for staying within brand?

The church of the White Fruit wants you to think that resistance to Apple is futile

The big misunderstanding (but this is also Intel's fault) is that this campaign is not to promote Intel chips but the Evo brand, which is minimum requirements in terms of real battery life, wake from sleep, recharge time, TB4, Wifi 6 etc.
Why Evo? Because Intel cannot compete on performance per watt. So they try to improve Windows PC standards, and focus on the (many) advantages of (some) Windows laptops over Macbooks.
The article is even more biased than these ads...
A balance judgement would recognize both that M1 Macs have made big improvements in terms of performance, battery life and silent operation, but that at the same time Windows laptop offer a lot more choice and many option missing from Macs, like touch, pen, cellular, very light devices (under 2.5 or even 2 pounds), 3.2 aspect ratios while also having plenty of performance, battery life (in both cases less than the new macs but still plenty) and silent operation.

Why don't they (intel) just let theirs gears do the talking

Seems like Intel even has some bots trying to comment the same exact thing to keep up appearances that everything is great. Lol they can't even get the bots to write different comments.

Without Thunderbolt moniker, AMD is already a strong choice now. Thanks for giving me choice Intel!

Wait, I can only attach one monitor? Crazy. I currently have two monitors connected to my macbook, and one of them is even providing the power for the macbook and addition monitor.

They really should hit them with a false advertising thing for that.

If only AMD didnt have shortages of chips, no one would be losing their time watching these ads.

Touchscreen computers are stupid.

Touchscreen computers are stupid.

Stupid people think touchscreen "computers" are stupid. Go live in a cave, you Neanderthal! Still using homing pigeons instead of a phone? Oh, you're a CrApple-ist i-Tard?

Agreed for the most part but they can't acknowledge anything good about CrApple can they? Else they would have to acknowledge that AMD wins in performance hands down, beating even the CrApple M1!

As I have eluded to above in reply to somebody else... These ads will be moot or wholly owned by AMD once they implement USB4 in Zen 4 with Thunderbolt support.
