Apple, however, limited this reprisal to the keynote address that introduced the Arm-based M1 Macs. Many in the Mac community have been clamoring for such commercials for Apple for some time, ads that hit hard on what they consider to be the benefits of the Mac platform. Justin Long’s return to Mac vs PC ads comes just months after Apple brought back actor John Hodgman to reprise his role as the PC guy in the I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC ads. It should also be noted that none of the above commercials ever say "Windows," instead focusing on the more generic term of "PC" to represent the Wintel hegemony. "WSJ" - The "PC" reads a review of the Mac from the Wall Street Journalis Walt Mossberg calling the Mac "the finest desktop PC on the market at any price." "Network" - "Everything just kind of works with the Mac," says the Mac character in this commercial, which demonstrates Mac OS Xis compatibility in a Windows network, while claiming to more easily work with peripherals like digital cameras. This is a literal embodiment of the iPod Halo Effect. "iLife" - "iLife" tackles two tasks at once: Lauding the fact that iPod and iTunes work so well together, while simultaneously promoting the rest of Appleis iLife package, which is only available for the Mac. "Better" - "Better" damns with faint praise by praising what the PC can do with a spread sheet, while the Mac claims to be "better at life stuff," such as making music, pictures, movies, etc.

"Restarting" - This commercial features the fact that Office works on the Mac, while also making fun of the idea that Windows PCs crash.

This is one of the riskier of the commercials in light of the recent spotlight being shined on Mac OS X security. "Viruses" - The first commercial in the list is called "Viruses," where the PC has a literal virus, which the Mac says he canit catch. A screen shot from Appleis new Mac & PC ads.
