Why are they doing it to themselves on the day Apple had booked all the attention for?

very good

"cd drive, a faster processor, can hold more ram, LONGER battery life and its more portable"
but
I wish something would kill off the computer industry.
- I think the advertising industry is more the target you should be aiming for.MrOneHundred

Hey look! We can do it too. We are second! Yay, silver medal for us.
- Llyod0

1 GB on board and one Memory slot offering up to a combined 5 GB
UltraPerformance Solid State Drive up to 64GB3
Solid State Drive up to 128GB

performance is always the winner, yet
apple knows their audience
so therefore...
design wins.

My point was more that this ad screams “we are playing catch-up to Apple” regardless of whether or not they are. Only very rarely can success be achieved in advertising by tipping your hat to your main competitor. I call epic FAIL. But what do I know.
- lowimpakt0
Pretty much all innovation in the sector is incremental.

not if the competitor has nothing much to offer. everyone knows the mac air is just an expensive wow laptop.
imagine coming into a meeting wit mac air then someone pulls out his dell then places it on top of that. i dont exactly think the ad is tipping its hat to them either.
- ...then fires it up and Vista is running on it... hmmm.MrOneHundred
- haha was thinking exactly that after lloyds downsides post.October
- MrOneHundred0
Whether or not the Dell or the Apple is better is irrelevant, what the Dell ad says is “Apple sets the benchmark”, “Apple is the computer by which all others are measured”. To be seen to be the de facto standard is what all “good” advertising strives for.

awesome, a dell is half an inch smaller than the macbook air!
i am sold!!
- October0
very true. but will this ad sell computers? i think it will.
- It'll sell some MacBook Airs if nothing else.kingsteven
- I doubt that it will sell Mac Books, as the ad/product is for PC users so they can say , "me too."ETM
- Meeklo0
Ok, I'm a mac user.
I think Dell's half ass computers, but as longs as they sell them at the right price, I don't care. A dell should never be more expensive than a sony or hp, etc.But with this..
they just blew apple out of the water.Good for dell!
- Really? You’d be happy to switch to Vista next time you buy a laptop?MrOneHundred
- Meeklo0
No, I don't think I can work on vista after working on a mac, my comment was regarding hardware.
- designbot0
Anyone actually used Vista?
I have and it's way more stable then the new Leopard. Vista's main problem is obscurring menus that used to be easy to find in XP. The aesthetics are nice, and it runs well though.
- pr20
another crap computer (next to Air) with no CD drive???
- ETM0
So has all the Vista haters actually used Vista for a period of time, on current hardware, or like most, just like to rehash what the media was saying 2 years ago?
Its a tool. Like a Mac ot Linux box is. Good and bad on all sides. I'll use what is best for the particular task. I have never understand the fan boy mentality, whether its PC/MAC or XBOX 360/PS3 etc. Seems odd to spend some much energy idolizing or defending a consumer product or company.
- MrOneHundred0
So who exactly in this thread is idolizing or defending a consumer product or company?
- MrOneHundred0
...seriously, I haven’t read any of the earlier posts.

ive been using vista for about a year now. at first it looks nice and shiny but it really drags down the machines performance. i turned off all the effects and it runs just as well as xp(looks like win2k now with a different explorer). the problem is, the regular bloke wont really tinker with it that much so all he sees is how slow it is but without all the fancy shiny candy, its actually ok.
so yeah fuck you candy.
- and its more stable than this g5 with osx i use at work.October
- ArmandoEstrada0
so its half an inch narrower but thicker than the air? nice try....
