Remember Apple’s “Get a Mac” campaign that ran from 2006 to 2009? The ones that opened to a minimalist all-white background, and a man dressed in casual clothes introduces himself as an Apple Macintosh computer (Justin Long), while a man in a more formal suit-and-tie combination introduces himself as a Microsoft Windows personal computer (John Hodgman). Now, Intel has hired the former to point out a few shortcomings of Macs, or at least what Intel thinks.
Some of the supposed drawbacks of Mac computers include their inflexibility, poor gaming capabilities, and lack of a touchscreen. Why did Intel go out of their way to create this video? Well, it’s most likely because Apple went from being an Intel customer for many years to a competitor when it replaced x86 chips with their very own M1 silicon.
