Windows and macOS have been the two major PC operating systems for a while now, with long debates over which is better. But it seems that HP might be leaning more towards Apple’s software, since its new Windows Laptop ad features a screenshot from macOS.
Ironically, the advertisement was for “The perfect laptop,” in other words the PC maker believes that the perfect laptop is one that runs macOS. The brand had promoted this laptop on Reddit and shared a poster image. However, this HP ad mistakenly carries a macOS screenshot. So, it is clear that someone in marketing might have made a big mistake with Photoshop for the ad.
The ad reads “For the digital nomads and work from anywhere but home types (yeah, we see you), HP has perfect laptops for wherever you’re working from.” Despite one assuming you’d see a Windows UI on this laptop, you’re greeted with a Gmail inbox screen in Chrome that has an Apple logo clearly visible in the menu bar.
For those unaware, Apple’s licensing agreements have ensured that the macOS platform can not be run on any PCs outsideof Macs. However, there is a dedicated Hackintosh community that unofficially install and run macOS on PCs. But since HP clearly isn’t partnering up with Apple in such a close manner, this is just a minor accident.
