Now that “Get a Mac†ads have been on the market for awhile it's time for PC to strike back. Taking on the same character personalities as in the original Mac ads ( PC being for the older demographic and office friendly Vs. Mac, more suited for the younger demographic and being more trendy). PC does a great job in turning the tables of this never ending battle of who has the better product. But in the end it just comes down to is practicalities and preference, but I love watching a good fight
