Chris Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 The Council of Better Business Bureaus has recommended that Apple Computer discontinue comparative performance claims regarding its Power Mac G5 desktop. Acting on a tip from Apple rival Dell, the council's National Advertising Division (NAD) "determined that the evidence provided by Apple did not provide a reasonable basis for its broad unqualified claims that its Power Mac G5 is 'the world's fastest, most powerful personal computer' and that it 'edged out the competition on integer.'"More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intratech Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 It's about time. The marketing people in the PC industry get away with some rediculous claims sometimes but the MAC claim was so obviously false that I was a bit puzzled as to why they continued using it in their adverts even after it was exposed by independent benchmark results.
