14 DAY TRIAL // Tech companies out there keep making funny errors every once in a while, and after Samsung tweeting from an iPhone, here’s HP trying to promote Windows using a… macOS screenshot.
That’s right. One of the largest Windows PC makers has accidentally used a macOS screenshot to promote what it describes “the perfect laptop.”
The image is supposed to show one of its laptops running Windows, but in fact, what it does show is actually a HP laptop running macOS. The photo is obviously Photoshopped (or maybe HP has installed Hackintosh on its device?) but the company describing this as “the perfect laptop” is quite ironic given it builds Windows computers.
As per MacRumors, the image was posted on reddit, and for some reason, it’s still up at the time of writing. However, users out there are no longer allowed to comment on the post, so it’s probably just a matter of time until the thread goes down.
“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,” the ad reads.
Microsoft committed to the Windows ecosystem
Microsoft is betting big on the Windows ecosystem, and the company praises its partners on nearly every occasion, including not only HP, but also Dell, Asus, Intel, and most recently, Qualcomm (the company that helps Microsoft offer ARM-powered devices).
“With all of the exciting new features coming in this update, there’s never been a better time to purchase a new PC. We’re proud to offer Windows 11 on a broad array of devices from across the ecosystem. The best way to experience the magic of the update is on a new PC from Surface or our incredible ecosystem partners Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and Razer,” Microsoft said a few weeks ago.
