Former 'I'm a Mac' Actor Justin Long Throws Shade at M1 Apple Silicon in New Intel Ad Campaign

Intel’s trying to create FUD ahead of even faster Apple Silicon. Any short comings the M1 has, will be addressed.
Get ready, the tsunami is coming.

I don't see what's wrong with the headline or how you think MR is trying to scapegoat JL?
Lol and it has nothing to do with Intel chips
I feel pretty confident intel makes the bulk of their cash selling their chips to manufactures (acer, Asus, dell, etc.). They want to push the windows laptop because your average consumer doesn't know much about chips outside of "powered by intel".
The main compatibility issue is if you're a developer and depend on VMs. In that case, don't get an M1 - it doesn't support this, and never will. Apple is severing ties with the rest of the IT world, compatibility wise. There are gains, and there are losses.
Also, if you are a developer and want to be effective running x86 docker images etc... you're probably also better off not getting an M1.
If you are a general purpose user doing a little bit of everything, but not a lot of development for non-Apple-platforms then M1 is great. E.g. the MacBook Air with great performance, great battery life and no fans is something I'd love if I didn't need the VMs.
Who buys a laptop based on the „Intel“ branding though? I bet most people don’t even know what that means and buy whatever brand they like. Even Apple just happens to have M1 chips now. I don’t think the „I don’t understand the difference between office and word“ people care about M1 or Intel either. They just want a [new] Mac
Dell guy doesn't represent all PCs.Apple, where’s the Dude your getting a Dell Guy?
Yeah... while we may be in dongle land, nothing is ever easy in the land of Windows. Every PC manufacturer is different, so the experience will change depending who you choose.
Building is always preferable.

I laughed at "......AND a dongle?!" because IT'S TRUE. Apple deserves every bit of criticism for that.
What part of actors are paid to lie don't you get.
And how many really, really good paying jobs in your profession do you turn down? I'm sure Intel made it worth is while. There is nothing wrong with Justin, but some people need to move back into the reality zone.
The dongle thing though kind of strikes gold and is so true. Apple has lost its way embracing dongles after ridiculing them. Turnabout is fair play. This is why Timmy is not a product person or visionary, but a bean counter. These are things he just does not get until the sales numbers hit him upside the head.
Most people just need to stop being fanboys. As if Apple really cares about any of them when it comes to anything but their wallet. It's pathetic.
Intel really need to focus on challenging AMDs emerging dominance, otherwise nobody will game or work on an Intel anyway - they can hardly compete with them on the low to mid end as it stands and AMD APU laptops are so much better than Intels already.
The M1 is currently a different class of CPU (x86 rather than ARM is the standard on laptop and desktops), and it will remain so for awhile - more bad decisions from Intel.

For what they are, the adverts are well-done. Justin has lost some of my respect, and his coolness with it. Having said so it's not a bad move by Intel. In 5 seconds, they find some weakness of the Mac (like the toolbar) and exploit it.
I have a really nice EliteBook for work, with a touchscreen. I regularly forget it has a touchscreen, until I accidentally bump it, and something moves. I've never seen the merit, personally.
I thought the Intel ads were mildly amusing. But I don't understand the push for touch screens on a PC.
Touch screen on a tablet or phone makes sense. Touch is what the mobile OS, apps and actual product were designed & optimised for.
Touch screen on a PC is a horrible experience and it's never ever worked well on Windows 10 as hardly any of the apps are optimised for touch, including Windows 10 itself and all of Microsoft's core enterprise & office applications. I've yet to find a web browser that works well with touch too.

Pretty sure not being able to plug more than one external display has to do with the M1…
And that tells you that they are more concerned about protecting the x86 architecture's dominance in the PC market than they are about competition by AMD.Lol and it has nothing to do with Intel chips
But the reactions in this thread are priceless. When Apple does it, it's cute. When Intel does it, it's desperate.
whats apple doing meantime? sitting on their hands as normal.. Let's go Tim. Start releasing some products please.
That does not make it a fair comparison. This is Apple’s slowest CPU. This is like saying it’s a fair comparison to make with a Samsung NVME vs SATA SSD since the SATA is newer. The M1 is not in the same class as the i7 or i9.
Emerging? Uh, no. AMD is long past that. It's been a few years that AMD has been spanking Intel.
still holds up...also finger prints on a laptop screen.... and the interfaces is not designed for fingers vs mouse....its never going to be amazing.
