i dislike the ads simply because they put out misinformation. in one they tote the fact that Macs are more secure from viruses (which is only due to a lower user base in the first place), and then in another they advertise that you can install Windows on it, which completely negates the whole secure aspect they had in the first ad. in another they say a Mac is more usable out of the box, but any PC you buy from a major vendor these days is the exact same way. and finally one of the latest ads i saw had them saying Macs are more suitable for entertainment purposes, but fail to mention that Macs severely lack in one of the biggest entertainment functions, games (not to mention getting into media PC's and such)
i prefer PC's because i like to have total customizability. i like being able to go to Memory Express and have options for what i want on each component (saving a ton of money in the process), can't do that with a Mac. and i've been using Windows so long now that i can configure it exactly how i want and it's just as secure if not more so than any Mac (i don't run antivirus, yet have never had a virus breakout). Macs are great for people who want a simple solution, they don't want to fiddle around with anything and just want it to work. but for those who like more options in what they want to have in a computer then PC is still the best option
