As you know, Apple ditched Intel. In a few months, all Macs will be equipped with the ARM chip. Intel decided to face the box. Instead of designing lower-power chips stronger than the Apple M1, the American founder preferred to launch a series of TV ads to poke fun at Apple.
In 2006, Apple launched a major communication campaign titled Get a Mac. For three years, these TV ads were broadcast in many countries around the world. They always open against an all-white background, and a casual-dressed man introduces himself as an Apple Macintosh computer (Hey, I’m a Mac), while a man in a formal suit and tie stands up. A Microsoft Windows computer (“I am a computer”).
The purpose of this series of commercials was to connect PC users (especially Windows users) with the cliché “disliked”, while portraying Apple Mac users as young and creative.
