TheI’m a Macguy, Justin Long, who had earlier switched to Intel, was recently seen during theSnapdragon Computex 2024 Keynote.
In a dig byQualcommaimed atApple, the 30-second performance shows Long getting persistent notifications on macOS, a fact he’s visibly upset about. A few seconds later, he’s seen searching forWhere can I find snapdragon powered pcon a Macbook, a subtle, yet effective, hint for Mac users to switch to the Windows OS.
In the last few years, many have complained about increasing notifications and pop-ups on macOS. The notifications appearing on the screen during Justin’s Long performance include messages, news, app compatibility and low battery alerts, device connection errors, emails, and reminders.
Toward the end of the act, Long says, “What, Things change” while sipping a cup of coffee!
The dig byQualcommcomes on the heels of the release ofCopilot+ PCs, a new class of PCs with AI capabilities powered by theSnapdragon X Elite. Its release is set forJune 18, 2024.
While effective to a certain extent, the campaign with Justin Long, theI am a Macguy, also raised questions about the Windows ecosystem.
