New TV Commercials

[malberttoo]

FINALLY they must have fired the people involved with all the previous Surface Pro commercials, that had idiots dancing around in board rooms and people skateboarding, and that said absolutely NOTHING about the product itself!

These are a great start. Show the product, lots of hands-on examples, compare it to your competition, etc. None of that trendy hipster nonsense.

The moment I say these ads are good I turn into a MS fanboy.

Why? These ads are good, but it doesn't make me a fanboy for saying so...

I think we are looking at the commercial breaks for the USA's National Football League season.

I think Microsoft needs to stop fighting and comparing... just let the product speak for itself, we all know it's good enough! I was honestly about to show one or two of these to my iBuddy but in all honestly it felt a bit childish.

Sometimes you need something like this to wake up some users that live inside of a bubble.

But that's just it, they ARE letting the product speak for itself and also letting people know what it can do against the other product... I personally think MS is FINALLY on the right track with these commercials... btw please show your buddy as I think they can use a good reality check/ wakeup call LOL

Hey, this sounds suspiciously like my example that I gave in the Surface vs Others subsection.

On Jul 30, I wrote:

"Before I give him his MBP back, I open it and try to pull off the screen saying 'what, the screen doesn't come off? Are you guys stuck in the 90's?'"

It sounds like MS is finally showing folks what I have been doing all along since the SPro1 came out. This is what I call my Surface thing. You really don't even have to say anything. Mainly just sit next to folks that don't have a Surface and just start doing your thing. Take out the pen and start writing. Snap the keyboard off. Open the kickstand. Split the screen between a movie and email. Use the touchscreen in general. All of these actions cause folks sitting next to you to ask questions. I'm glad to see MS start to point out the real differences between the devices.

One thing for sure is I often time tried to touch and/or swipe the screen on my MBP and I look stupid especially when I was around other people
