  • Intel attempts to convert Apple fans in 'social experiment'

    I see this commercial as less of an attempt to get Apple loyalists to switch to Wintel machines and more of an undercover attempt to convince Wintel manufacturers that they should continue to use Intel chips and not research rolling their own silicon like Apple.  Apple may account for a small percentage of Intel's sales, but if Lenovo, Samsung, Acer, Asus, etc.. decide to make their own, intel would be screwed.  This commercial reassures those manufactures that the grass isn't greener and that users really do want Wintel.  The irony is that they have just proven the fact that users are more concerned about the end experience meeting their needs (touchscreen, gaming, upgrading....) than they are the processor.  The better commercial would have been to have the 'users' play with an Intel Mac disguised as an M1 and point out the features that no longer work on the M1 (dual screens, bootcamp, [not sure there is a 3rd thing]).  Sorry for the rambling.
