VS.

Yeah... quad vs dual and 4GB vs 2GB and both have the same GPUs which are plenty for video editing... yeah the HP kills the MAC. I love how the little kiddies on the Youtube keep saying that the anti virus and the video editing software will make the HP cost more...

Ok Avast 4.8 Home edition + Comodo Internet Security = $0 for some of the best protection out.

Pinnicle Studio Enhanced = $100

Guess what? Yeah the HP is still cheaper...

When are they going to get to the cpmmercial with the guy looking for a computer that will store all his hdef porn?

Fry's Electronics, not Best Buy. (face palm)

i'm starting to think these damn commercials are just a sales pitch for HP computers T_T

What is the 130GT????

I know it's probably rebranded.... but isn't the 8800gt the 240GTS? ...so wouldn't that make the 9600GT a 230GT? ...so wouldn't a 130 be crappier?

Even if Windows 7 only improves slightly between now (RC) and retail, Apple should be concerned.

I'm not really an Apple hater, I would own one of their laptops if they were more accurately priced to the actual hardware you receive.

I've also hated on Windows plenty in the past, but I could not believe how responsive and slim Windows 7 7077 felt on my dated Core 2 Duo processor.

That's only performance wise, on the visual side, everything looks pretty in Windows 7.

... and what video editing software waz included? Vegas? Premiere? Iz tha price for tha software included? Where iz tha price list!!!

As usual, the comments from the Apple fans making an attempt at demonstrating they understand computers are hilarious.

I think I might have to drive myself directly to the Hospital, after having read the comment above this one.

^you sir, fail

Some classically stupid comments on YouTube. "Fast, under-sized memory is so much better than adequate capacity". I totally know what I'm doing when it comes to knowing everything about computers.

Lol, and by you sir i mean @drrap

I'd choose a Mac over HP. Anyone who says Macs suck is a PC fanboy. Speaking of sucking... these commercials are pretty horrible. It's fine that they use actors and that the commercials are clearly fake, but still I hate the people in them and their completely fake thought process when choosing a computer. And just when I think the commercials can't get any more annoying, a new one comes out. I thought "Jean Paulo" was as bad as it would get, until they had the commercial with that UGLY mophead kid and his douche mom. It doesn't help that the kid and his mom are completely retarded and I always laugh at how the kid clearly doesn't know anything about computers and the mom is even more clueless and just goes along with everything the kid wants.

The kid wants a laptop that's good for gaming. Why? I've never understood why people would shell out even more money to play games on a system that will still be horribly underpowered but cost a lot more and be extremely uncomfortable to play any games on with extra peripherals and stuff. On top of that, they go crazy over blu-ray for it. Once again, another completely worthless addition to a laptop. If the kid wants to play games and watch blu-ray movies, he should get a PS3 for a lot less and then he'll probably have enough extra to do any non-gaming activities that he wants to do, such as locking himself in his room downloading 2GB of porn a day.

hey that hp has ddr2 not ddr3 as the mac sure more memory but slower . the screen resolution is smaller as well and she never does get around to buying her video editing software

windoze sucks

Good Call Maxor127 I guess no one had anything else to say...

arima flextronics W840DI. nothing more to add.

Is this article supposed to be scoffing the PC ads for attempting to point out the value of PCs? I think the negative comments in these MS ads towards macs are much less immature (if not non-existent) compared to the overstatements in the anti-pc ads by Apple. This series from MS seem to even call the macs pretty and popular with teens which is something of a compliment. If we're going to critique what MS is doing by trying to modestly defend themselves, then where are all the critiques of the negative Mac ads on Tom's?

Microsoft is playing the best angle of them all: money talks.

Why do people think that you need powerful CPU for a video editing? You can get things done with core 2 duo like core 2 quad does with a bit more time. ppl aren't going to make Toy Story 3 with a laptop.

Apple is too awesome to respond to these M$ adverts by say addressing the price gap....oh wait.

This ad was weak compared to the others. The salesperson should have told her that she should do her work on a desktop. No need to edit movies while at Starbucks. She would have a killer i7 machine for that money.

Once again the mac people make me laugh.

Keep up the good work.

Good one Drrap.....if you see gum on the street, don't pick it up, it's not free candy.

She overspent, and was not really looking at what you need for Video Editing. She particularly accentuated the GPU. Any modern mid-range GPU should have no problem for what its used for in Video Editing. What matters is the processor for encoding, and maybe the ram although anything over 2GB is alright. Also HDD space could matter depending on the quality she needs.

However, editing infront of a desk is far superior then a laptop. Since you get a far more powerful machine, and are in a position that forces you to concentrate while using tools and a screen resolution thats ideal for working effeciently. You can also probably get Adobe Creative Suite for the money you would save getting a desktop instead.

Where is the desktop hunters one as that will time for the $1000 + over priced mac pro smack down.

why dont they make a commercial of a guy building a computer, hell! why not 50? cause their all gonna go windows.

@falchard
i totally agree that video editing is mainly for desktops (because of the help of the GPU to do the encoding), but then again, isn't this commercial series called "LAPTOP hunters"?

Being that, getting a desktop is not an option.

On the other hand, she might not want to edit video in starbucks...but she could actually do it in her office, home and...pretty much everywhere else she needs (as long as she has some battery).

i m not a fan boy at all of any
but the truth is
gaming on laptop = sucks and if ur doing so then ur not real gamer
video editing on laptop = this sucks more then gaming if i m hving a company of media creation then i wud fire the person who is doing so

i cant bliv that ppl here r pulling legs of each other they dont even try to understand that apple or ms both just wanna increase there consumer base

ppl here r behaving like painted on abs looks real to them
come on friends y dont u try to live in reality
@keither5150
i do agree with u laptop is no alternate to desktop when its come to power punch

foot note
** and i hv no problem with my family they love me a lot and i love them if u can't differentiate b/w reality and painted abs then its ur problem. we laugh a lot on these mac pc ads and enjoy them.**
