Apple’s latest advertising campaign for the iPad Pro touts how well the tablet works as a PC replacement.

The funny new ads, released today, use real tweets from real people to highlight how the iPad Pro excels over old-school computers in areas like speed, Wi-Fi, productivity and viruses. Each clip is only 15 seconds long — and they all exhibit a playful tone that’s similar to the old “Get a Mac” campaign.

    • I have made 104000 dollars previous year by doing an online job a­n­d I did it by w­o­r­k­i­n­g in my own time f­­o­­r 3+ hrs each day.

    – My old PC has a 40″ UHD screen and 16 gigs of ram, so I can run 4 full HD-windows with 4 different browsers, each in its own virtual computer with 4 different OSes.

    – Well the iPad pro comes in new salmon-pink, and has an built in flashlight!

    • aardman says:

      Yup. You’re right. What person in his right mind would not install 4 different OSes in his machine? How could they possibly get their stuff done on only one OS installation?

        Who in their right mind would like to do more than [whatever] on the computer they own?

        Well, for example if you are dev, and do more with your computer than dick around.

        Plus about a meelion other things you are used to be able to do on a computer, these last 30 years or so, that you for some reason are supposed to not be able to no any more in 2017.

        Seriously, how are you not grasping this?
        Wait…

        Are you Donald F trump?
        My condolences to the terrible thing that happened inside your TV last night.
        Hope your pants can be saved.
