Microsoft has published a new video on its YouTube channel that touts the speed of its top Copilot + PCs. Curiously though, these “top PCs” are compared against Apple’s consumer-targeted MacBook Air…from over a year ago.
New Microsoft video pits its top PCs against Apple’s year-old budget option
The ongoing rivalry between Microsoft and Apple has always been good for entertaining ads, like the “I’m a Mac/I’m a PC” campaign.
Microsoft’s latest ad for its Copilot + PCs is similarly providing a lot of laughs, though for different reasons.
The short video offers a “Breaking News” alert that Microsoft’s “top Copilot + PCs” are faster than a Mac.
Which Mac? The M3 MacBook Air from over a year ago.
If you want to add some light reading to your video consumption for the day, the comments on the video are a great source of entertainment too.
Examples include:
- “Was this comically low budget ad made with Windows Movie Maker 2 and a 5 MP camera from 2003?”
- ”Your TOP pc is faster than their BASE pc A YEAR AGO? That’s not embarrassing??”
- ”This is just sad…”
Jokes aside, this isn’t the first time Microsoft has made comparisons to the M3 MacBook Air. Last time though, that was the latest Air available so it made more sense—even though a MacBook Pro would have been a more fitting equivalent.
Now that the M4 MacBook Air has been out for months, Microsoft should maybe do a better job staying on top of current releases.
Do you think Microsoft’s Copilot + PCs are winning over MacBook Air users? Let us know in the comments.
