      Well Apple kinda famously did that with their “Get a Mac” campaign featuring Justin Long and John Hodgman.... although as the other person said perhaps they were completely able to admit they were desperate but its still not a particularly great look.
      And they were different in that they were going over the general characteristics of their respective operating systems rather than “I’m a Mac... and I’m shiny” or whatever, it was more like “I’m a PC and I’ve got another virus” or whatever.... they were more focused on the positives of their own brand compared to negatives of the general “opposition” and outlining the niggles that current PC users faced and offered a better alternative rather than just attacking windows and adding nothing about their own brand...
      Idk, kinda on the fence about this style of advertising and i feel I’m being somewhat hypocritical in believing Apple’s worked where-as Microsoft and Intel’s doesn’t but i do believe they’re different even though I can’t quite put it in words effectively.

      I use a MBP 15 but we also have a Surface Laptop 15 and it’s essentially a 15in MacBook Air. Lightweight, great battery and the touchpad and keyboard remind me of the Retina MBP 15 which is to say great, even if the touchpad could be bigger and I like Force Touch being able to click at the very top. I prefer the keys to the Butterfly ones on my MacBook. The speakers are surprisingly good and equal my MBP. Surface Connect also reminds me of MagSafe, but I rather USB-C charging on both sides.
      It also starts up much quicker with Instant On, sort of like what Apple did with M1 except this does it with Intel regardless. And Windows Hello IR face unlock is the Face ID that is missing on the Macs. I also appreciate having the option of a touchscreen from time to time.

      Notice the way they carefully constructed this advertisement. They only compare the devices physical characteristics, so they can argue they are comparing the devices prices based solely on those physical characteristics if push comes to shove. They actually make no claim that the Surface Pro has more processing power, storage, or RAM for the price. The only illusion they give to the Surface Pro’s actual performance as a computer is to say you can “play games on it”. But notice they *don’t* say you can’t play games on the MBP, and they don’t say that you can play games *well* on the Surface. It’s definitely misleading, but absolutely constructed in a way to carefully skirt around a lawsuit.
      Edit: people seem to think I’m trying to defend the ad or say that it could run in any nation in the world without a lawsuit happening. I am pointing out how sneaky they were with it. That is all.

      true, but neither is the m1 devices, neither of them are built for gaming but the fact that the surface is x86 means it might be more compatible, not to mention that macos dropped support for 32bit apps. also if youre calling it an ipad PRO, that means that its for professionals, that youre going to do work on it. ipad os simply isnt built for that. and having only one port if kind of a big downside on a pro device especially if youre doing video work. even my macbook air has two thunderbolt ports.

    @pilcrow1546 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    In defence of the power comparison, they're actually not using an M1 MacBook Pro there. If you look closely at the Touch Bar you can see it runs the whole width of the chassis, without the separation for the Escape Key. So this is actually comparing the SP7 to a pre-Magic Keyboard MacBook Pro, which wouldn't have had an M1 chip... and is also no long on sale... So I'm guessing they just had no idea what they were doing when making this ad, and just told someone to "get me a MacBook".
    Lazy.

    What these ads from Microsoft basically tell me is that they are scared of the iPad and MacBook taking away sales from the Surface line. To be fair, Microsoft kind of has the right to be scared. Within the past year, the iPad and MacBooks grew significantly in sales, and partially ate away against Windows’ market share. Part of it was the pandemic boosting sales of computers in general, but also iPads and MacBooks have receive significant improvements over the past year. With iPadOS getting keyboard/mouse support, people are realizing that iPads are good options as computers now. In addition, the introduction of M1 chip, as well as Apple ditching the butterfly keyboard, gave the entry level MacBooks the necessary improvements to become the best overall laptops in the market. Overall, what these ads show is that Apple is doing something right.

      the library of big-budget gaming titles on Windows is bigger, yes. But the gap is shrinking and the definition of the gaming market is changing. Apple makes powerful machines every bit as capable of gaming, especially in the lower-mid tier, and more and more big titles are available to it.
      The fact is, you can do more gaming at a higher end graphic capability on an M1 than an Intel i3. Sure, you can't install the newest AAA title on an iPad, but you can't play it on a Surface Pro either, so whats the point?
