Sure Jesus may have risen from the dead and gone dancing on Easter Sunday, but I don’t think even he could return from the land of the dead pixel. To that end I think from next year we should honor my MacBook for resurrecting a dead pixel rather than boring Jesus.
Just saying.
This latest ad campaign by Microsoft really irks me. Mainly because everything in them is untrue.
Ok yes Macs are more expensive than PC’s. The cheapest Mac is £500 I think but you get a lot of bang for you buck for that. It’ll also outlast any PC you buy and I guarantee you’d have less problems with it than a comparable PC.
I bought my first Mac, my first gen Macbook <3, in July 2006. It’s still running fine to this day and outpaces my brother and sister’s newer PC’s. I only ever had to take it to the Apple store once and that was because the battery developed a weird fault but Apple gave me a brand new battery and sent me on my way, FREE OF CHARGE. Would you even know where to go to get your PC fixed?
And “all aesthetics and no computing power”? Do Microsoft know what most of the film and design industry runs? Cos I’ll give you a clue, it don’t come out of Redmond.
A couple weeks ago I discovered I had a dead pixel on my MacBook screen and was very pissed off. It’s only a little thing but when you’re watching something full screen it’s glaringly obvious and quite distracting.
Apple will fix it for free but I was reluctant to be seperated from my computer for a week or two. However I just found out from my Twitter friend Craig (who works at the Apple Store) that they can apparently fix that kind of thing in store providing they have the parts in store. If they don’t they’ll give you a call when they have them in.
So to that end I’m gonna pop in on Friday and see what they can do and hopefully they can fix it there and then!
