You see, it’s funny, because Yoshi really does eat apples! Oh, the cleverness. I’m seriously about to buy a Macbook, just so I can put this decal on it. Gets yours at Etsy.com for $10.

So after all the years of the Get a Mac commercials with the PC Guy and the Mac Guy, Microsoft finally decided to hit back with their PC Hunter ads.
In the commercials, a shopper would be told, if they can find a computer they want, for under $1500, they can keep it. The person would then look at all the Windows laptops, compliment the specs and prices, then look at the Macs, say they’re overpriced, and finish the commercial off by picking a PC with higher specs for a cheaper price.
Apple recently lowered MacBook prices, so they were pretty pissed off when the original commercial had lines like this, “This Mac is $2,000, and that’s before adding anything.”, and, “Why would you pay twice the price?”
For some reason, Microsoft decided to change the commercial, and released the one at the top of this post. Not much has changed, but now she just says, “It seems like you’re paying a lot for the brand.”
Why Microsoft changed the ad is beyond me. Apple would never stop making their Mac Guy vs. PC Guy commercials, and I wouldn’t want them to, they’re funny. I don’t want to get into a Mac vs. PC debate, so I’ll just say, both have their pros and cons, and obviously Macs are more expensive than PCs with the same specs. Maybe it’s for the brand, maybe it’s for the style, or maybe it’s for the operating system; you be the judge.
An Apple fanboy and MacBook owner decided to art up his computer with some nostalgic Disney goodness.

UPDATE: Thanks to commenter adsfds, who I’m assuming just randomly hit his/her keyboard when entering his/her name, for pointing out that these decals are sold on Etsy.com. Check out a larger photo below.

For all those Apple Fanboys out there, and I know you’re out there, here is a little history on the evolution of the Mac and it’s accessories.
Personally, I’m a PC guy. Only because I’m practical, and buy a computer that does what I need it to, for a good price. Don’t get me wrong, those MacBooks look great, and OS X looks great, but for the price of a Mac, you can get a PC with double or triple the RAM, a bigger hard drive, bigger screen, and an equal processor for the same price, or even cheaper. But hey, if you’re rich enough to buy one, go for it! I do own an iMac G3 though. Got it for $5, fully functional with the original keyboard and hockey puck mouse!
