Mac Vs Pc

I'm considering getting a mac.
That's because my pc is giving  me problems again. The graphics card keeps crashing and after hours of googling and troubleshooting, the problem may lie in Win 7. Win 7 is not compatible with my graphics card.

If you have seen the 'Get A Mac' campaign by Apple, you too will consider buying a mac. The ads are humorous and mostly true about the advantages of mac against pc. This ad series uses the vignette style, which is " a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a trenchant impression about a character, an idea, or a setting and sometimes an object ". The ads are very simple  in setting and character , yet people are able to relate to them. The mac guys is wearing casual clothes and portrays a designer while the pc guy is wearing a suit and portrays a business man.



The ads were so successful that they spawned a huge fan base as well as increased mac sales. Many versions of the ads were created such as the Japanese and UK versions which were played by local actors.

The ads were also done in flash for the web.The banner ads were so unique because each ad relates to the page content.


After going through the prices of mac in Malaysia, maybe its cheaper to fix my graphics card instead. Oh well.
