Apple's response to Microsoft PC ad campaigns

"Macbook series and Apple products are sexy and cool, but are too expensive." This is what Microsoft PC advertisements are trying to educate people. Choosing price as the main weapon of attack could be the most effective one at times of recession. Apple has a befitting response to the "Go get a PC" ad campaign.
