Microsoft ad taunts MacBook by calling it a "BackBook"

Microsoft recently posted a new ad to promote the capabilities of its 2-in-1 convertible PC – the Surface Pro.

To highlight the efficiency of the Surface Pro, Microsoft India compared it to a conventional Apple MacBook laptop, which it has jokingly labelled a “BackBook”.

In the advert, Microsoft demonstrated how the Surface Pro’s screen can be detached and reattached to its keyboard, and showcased the versatility of its kickstand.

MS: "Hey bra, can you do this?"
*flips over to tablet mode*
Me: "That's cool bra, how much?"
MS:


Me: "Ffff0k jou"

Paying close to R20K in the year 2021 for an i3 tablet with 4GB of memory.

Apple can ride the criticism because they have one thing their competitors can’t match- the ecosystem.

I hated moving to Apple. I hated that Microsoft, Samsung, Google etc. had such better and cooler looking devices (and also multifunctional ones- and for the longest time at a cheaper price point).

Nevertheless, I have moved to Apple (grudgingly) and the ecosystem is awesome. From my watch, to the TV, the HomePod, the airpods, and all other devices. It would be very very hard to switch back.

Lol no thanks. Apple discontinued the Homepod as well.

I have to agree with this.
And it works oh so well together.

Like copying an image/text/whatever on my phone and pressing "cmnd+v" on my macbook and it pastes that same image/text/whatever... and being able to do it the other way around too...

Its the small things, but man it makes life simpler.
