That powerbook commercial is a riot! Would that qualify as "lappy" envy?

dolemitecomputers · Fri Jan 10, 2003 2:58 pm

That has been out for a few months already but a good one.

"On the MAC there's just 6!"
"Breakout.......Super Breakout..........Photoshop".

the ad with yao was coolige, first one was funny

pattouk2001 · Fri Jan 10, 2003 3:10 pm

Thoes poor souls who own a Macintosh......so sad.

Rakhmaninov3 · Fri Jan 10, 2003 4:21 pm

Yeah, like the website that refers to 76 FPS on Quake III on the G4 15" powerbook (1024x768) as "screaming" or "blistering" or whatever. I laughed my ass off. Maybe that's decent for a laptop, but that ain't screaming on anything.

Rakhmaninov3 · Fri Jan 10, 2003 4:22 pm

And yeah, they're poor 'cause they just spent their last 3 months' pay on one, and because they don't have games.

lol I used to play breakout on a Mac SE back in 1987. that was the shiz.

it was called Brickles though.

Sat Jan 11, 2003 10:35 pm

There are games for the Mac?.........I only thought that they could run photoshop on them. Wow, you learn something new every day. :wink:

eckslax · Sat Jan 11, 2003 11:00 pm

All that money for word processing, internet, and photoshop.
*shakes head and chuckles*

AENIMA · Sun Jan 12, 2003 12:16 am

the mac users compensate for all that time we PC users spend in games with yelling at there friend PC users about the superiority oh OSX.
and getting mad at the world for being PC

lol...that powerbook ad was too good. :lol:

I guess they have to do something while PC guys are playing games. I feel bad for them though, all the great games they are missing. :wink:

Which games would that be?

We have the entire Quake series, MoH, Unreal and UT (with UT2k3 coming), etc.

They may come out a bit late, but Mac gamers do get them.

You got any Delta Force series games? No? ok then on great games

That video is still about the biggest joke around the office here, even after having it for a while. There a lot of great games on the mac, like Warcraft3... that puzzle game with the Apple logo. That's a great game. I beat it, but it's still fun. :roll:

Or when he says "photoshop" under his breath. I about died the first time I saw that. Too bad they didn't make a crack about benchmarking 20 pixel diameter gaussian blur filters. Afterall, if I had a Mac I'd be blurring my entire archive of photos cause my PC is WAY too slow to do that.

I must admit, those new powerbooks are damn sexy. But if I had $3300 to blow on a notebook, I'd be buying a loaded Inspiron. The 12" model at $1800 isn't THAT bad, though. At least it has a GF4 MX 420. Good enough to play Zork, breakout... super breakout... photoshop. :-?

I'd get the Alienware with $3300. It mops up the floor with Mac's desktop system, and most PC desktops, too. And it's damn sexy.

Eh, that's about the most loaded comparison I've seen in a long time. How'd a 1.8GHz Dell desktop get stuck in with a 3.06GHz laptop thats about 5-6 times more expensive?

Rakhmaninov3 · Mon Jan 13, 2003 3:41 pm

I dunno, I think the guy just said he threw it in for kicks. It still beat the new Mac system in most of the tests he ran, though.

I still want the Alienware.

Now to steal $3300.

Mon Jan 13, 2003 11:04 pm

that alienware lappy is an incredible system. I want one too........oops still out of money......

I need to find a way to steal some money too.
