He is an actor...he is pretending for money. Seems he is pretty good at it as he has you convinced he likes PC more than Mac and has changed allegiances.

Seriously disagree. Not everyone needs 8k gaming. My GRX 1080 is still fine for new titles in 1080p.
Really not sure what “actual gaming” means to people here. I still play my PS3 which is less performing than my Macs and Windows PCs.
I have a work laptop that does have a touch screen. Guess how many times I have used said touch screen, 0. Steve was right then, and even in his grave, he is right today.
Personal computer based touch wants to be horizontal, not vertical.
Building and development on the local system is what the teams I've been working with are doing... before checking in and letting build systems do the rest of the CI/CD-process.
Gaming snobs.
It doesn't matter what game you play, on what platform you play it, or what it's hardware requirements are. You're a gamer. Play what you enjoy on whatever you want to play it on.
It's only been somewhat recently you have to play at 60fps or your not a "real" gamer. Stupid.
I play on my phone. I've played games on my macs. I've played games in browsers. I've played game streaming. I've built gaming pc's for decades. Hell I've even gamed on the original pong console back in the day. An Atari for years. A tandy. Old packard bell. Now I mostly play on my series X and haven't played a game on my PC in ages, despite the fact I've saved plenty to build a new one with whatever hardware I want.
"actual" games are just games.

No they don’t. Not all of them. My surface pro would like a word. It’s not 4 ports like my MacBook Pro
Lol, you try to be clever and it backfires. Way to go
.This WHOLE DISCUSSION is about Intel copying Apple's ads from 10 years ago. Jesus.
The guy needs to feed his family. He’s getting paid. I’d do it. You would do it. Everyone here would do this if they were in his position, which is a C level actor who doesn’t have a steady stream of income so people here criticizing him need to chill out. He’s not robbing banks or selling drugs. He’s working an honest living. Nothig wrong with that. And the click bait article title by macrumors is lame.
Why do people keep bringing this up? Hook a mouse and two external hard drives on most PCs and it requires a dongle - more specific a USB hub. Not the case with the Apple laptops as I can just get the USB-C cables for the external drives
I know right. He’s working. Jeeeez. I guarantee he has an iPhone and a MacBook. He’s just working to provide for himself. Everyone here would do work for their family even if it entails participating in a commercial against the apple.
For everyone wondering why they were highlighting non-CPU items, what devices, aside from servers, do you think will have Intel CPUs a year or two from now? Windows. To the rank and file there is nothing sexy about "Intel inside". A 2-in-1 is pretty cool, and an extra screen in the keyboard! Oooh, pretty, where do I get one of those??? All of those are Windows systems, which will continue to be built on a lot of Intel chips for a long time. At least, until Microsoft and Broadcom crack the Arm64 code. Think, the next couple generations of Surface Pro X's.
Intel has to milk the Windows angle to stave off the most immediate threat from Apple. Also buys Intel some time to do their own Arm64 thing. Intel could live on the server market but that would be a very different Intel. And then you have the Ampere's starting to make inroads there as well.
Where I think they've gone wrong is the approach they're taking. This and the other ad campaigns have reeked of desperation. They don't have to take that approach while they're boosting Windows and the hardware OEMs. As someone else mentioned, simply talking about what you can do with Windows and implying that you can't do that on a Mac would be better than this hot mess. "hey, cool games you're playing on that Intel laptop", Justin glances wantonly at the Mac, then asks if he can have a seat and play a game. Maybe even winks at the camera. Reminds everyone of everything they already know without beating you over the head with it.

What do you people need a 2 in 1 for that the iPad Pro with keyboard and trackpad can’t? You said day-to-day use, so iOS apps should cover everything you need.
So it’s just your preference. Somebody playing Stardew Valley on the iPad after work for hours a day is a serious gamer in my eyes. Non serious gamers would be playing candy crush every so often at the doctor while you wait.
You're doing exactly what your complaining about; my PC can connect to hard drives with USB-C [and A]...and does anyone "hook" up a mouse these days?
I still think, it’s clever. Of course, not nearly as clever as the original I’m a Mac and I’m a PC ads.
