New Microsoft Commercials Take on MacBook Users

New Microsoft Commercials Take on MacBook Users

In each ad, the Surface Pro 3 owner shows a MacBook user that his new tablet is just as powerful, fast and capable a laptop, if not better. It one ups the MacBook with it’s detachable keyboard, touchscreen and Surface pen.

This isn’t Microsoft’s first rodeo when it comes to clever commercials. Earlier this year, a Microsoft commercial poked fun as Siri by asking Microsoft’s personal assistant app, Cortana, to do various tasks that even had Siri saying, “Now, that is a smart phone.” Back when Windows 8 launched in 2012, commercials compared the iPad and Windows 8 tablet, with Microsoft coming out on top in funcationality and Siri asking, “Should we just play Chopsticks?”
