# PC vs. Mac A Battle of Epic Proportions PC Bites Back By Chris Skleryk | Published 2007-02-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pc-vs-mac-a-battle-of-epic-proportions-pc-bites-back References: [our-picks](http://www.our-picks.com/archives/2007/02/05/the-pc-vs-mac-ads-return-now-from-the-pcs-perspective/) Now that [“Get a Mac”](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-mac-ads-poke-fun-at-vista) ads have been on the market for awhile it's time for PC to strike back. Taking on the same character personalities as in the original Mac ads ( PC being for the older demographic and office friendly Vs. Mac, more suited for the younger demographic and being more trendy). PC does a great job in turning the tables of this never ending battle of who has the better product. But in the end it just comes down to is practicalities and preference, but I love watching a good fight ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **PC Bites Back:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: PC manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of appealing to an older demographic and promoting office-friendly features. - **Turning the Tables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Companies can explore the trend of leveraging competitor's strategies and brand personas to create a new narrative and attract consumers. - **Product Practicality Vs.
