Another iPad vs Microsoft Surface Ad

Another Microsoft ad comparing iPad with a Surface RT tablet was released yesterday on the company’s official YouTube channel.

This time we can see a Windows RT tablet and an iPad 4. Microsoft ad-makers claim that their device is surely better than the Apple gadget. Well, as usual, they show how the multitasking works, how to connect a USB flash drive to the Windows RT tablet and how the prices for both devices differ. Boring...

As to the strange things about the ad, there’s a couple of them, too. First, Microsoft says that the iPad comes without Microsoft Office and that seems to be a tragedy. However, the tech giant somehow forgets, that Apple has its own office suite. Apart from that, on the video the Surface RT is equipped with a keyboard, though in reality you have to pay about $100 extra to get one. From this point of view, the final price of the device shown somewhere at the end of the clip is not so low as Microsoft advertisers want us to believe.

All in all, I’d still buy the iPad 4 rather than any other Windows 8 or Windows RT tablet.
