Apple's New Mac Ads Highlight Battery Life and Anti-Glare Nano-Texture Display

Feet are SO gross. Like why did they choose this for an ad??? Yuck. Trashy.

Directed by Quentin Tarantino

First thing that occurred to me, yep!

the vibes in both of these are reminiscent of the great apple ads of the late 1980s. regular people (think jeff goldblum), regular situations. calmly presented.
well done.

I missed mac ads with this type of narration. Funny, calm, and to the point. Really reminiscent of the old iBook and iMac G3 ads.

I would have bought a new Macbook Air if it would have that option. I don't understand why Apple offers this. I won't switch to a Pro, because I already have one. But I would have upgraded my Air. Now I will wait

Better see a therapist.

I already do and it doesn't help with seeing these ugly smelly feet. Stop villainizing people who need therapy/stigmatizing mental health.

Good ads. Battery life on any new MacBook is fantastic. Can easily last a whole day.

I actually like these ads. They are not confusing, really drive home what the feature/message is and have decent music that is less loud so one can focus on what the ad is actually about. Totally reminds me of older apple ads that I like so much.

The only laptops you can use outdoors on a sunny day are e-ink laptops, and they're rare and still not fit for work.

Call me selfish but I hope nano-texture displays become standard on all Apple devices.

I’d like to get a nano-texture M4 MacBook Pro, but the fact that M4-based Macs do not support the default/“natural” 3840x1620 scaled HiDPI resolution on 5K2K Ultrawide monitors (unless they run at 120Hz or higher) is extremely frustrating for me. 😞

Absolutely.

Seeing that ad made me wonder what happened to Ellen Feiss.

Turns out with a Ph.D. in the History of Art from U.C. Berkeley, you can now call her “Dr. Feiss“.

after all, "it was a really really good paper".
what a bummer.

but the ad that changed so many many things and kinda changed the world was this one:
