“Apple on PC market share with a newly posted Canadian page trying to steer buyers away from desktop and notebook Macs,” Electronista reports.
“The ‘Do the Math’ site tries to play on stereotypes of Macs always costing more by showing Windows 7 PCs that are supposedly either cheaper or offer more features for a comparable price,” Electronista reports. “Some comparisons are valid, though the comparisons ignore like real-world battery life, where Apple usually comes out on top, and the greatly reduced need to use security software.”
Electronista reports, “The comparison, however, openly tries to deceive buyers when comparing the MacBook Air. It pits the 11-inch Air against netbook-class systems that are much slower and bulkier.
