I love how they say "Surface comes with a pen" and the fine print says "pen sold separately"
Because Apple always includes everything you need
@@AndyChamberlainMusic but Apple does not create misleading advertisement saying that their products comes with stuff that is sold separately.

It’s always funny to me that Apple doesn’t acknowledge the existence of this while Microsoft and Intel give Apple all the attention.
It’s because Apple is a lifestyle brand. If you use Mac, you’re probably not gonna switch to Windoze. Once you go Mac, you never go back.

@@richardyudi1030 and by best you mean, Sort of tolerable? 😅
@@Rokinbokinstudios I know this is an Apple/Mac heavy channel but that doesn’t mean we have to lie and pretend everything else is garbage.
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.
In the ad they were comparing a laptop to a tablet and then complaining that its an expensive tablet

comparison advertisements honestly just look like the company is afraid of the other company and are begging the costumers to give them a chance
they might have been funny in 2008-2012 but they are just out of place in 2021
You look afraid.
Yeah, Apple legit had a tiny fraction of market share and were begging consumers to give them a chance. it's weird seeing it the other way around.
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.
@@Fetidaf yeah it's the style I think, both intel and ms are trying to cop consumers by comparing on specs, while apple's get a Mac ads, were, as far as I can remember seldom or never about specs, but more about how/what/why Macs/macos were the better choice. they did at one point target MS Vista specifically, but even those were done with style, and rode on the very fact that indeed Vista was the shittiest pretty
I love how Apple remains silent and chill, knowing what they now have, watching the others squirm, panic, and run around in circles.
It's hilarious.
It's a way for them to not even aknowledge the existence of other brands, so when you enter the "Apple ecosystem" you wont even consider going back, even their comparaisons, they compare their new stuff with older Apple stuff, Like "Something never seen before on an Apple device"
@@why_oh_elle They show graphs of them vs other phones and macs with the M1 chip vs next leading cpu. I know you watched Mrwhosetheboss' video on "Apple's Master Plan" but Apple is changing slowly.

This makes my mind blow because in Italy is literally illegal to do something like this. You can do an ad where you compare two products (one frome your brand, and the other one from another brand) but if the ad is in any little way misleading, you literally can get sued. Something like this could NEVER pass on an Italian tv channel.
some countries don’t even let you talk about other brands, i think most of latin america worked like that (at least when i was a kid and watched tv), they had to say “compared to the competition” and show a generic no brand product. but this ad is outright lying lmao...
@@impendio Yeah, I understand why. In Italy even if it's not technically illegal to compare two products, no one does it because of the very high risk of being sued, so every ad is very generic and focuses on the product itself rather than the concorrence.
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.
@@spnvidz3265 they're still comparing them
@@spnvidz3265 And even, you can still be sued. You can use a product from another brand as a reference to show your product capabilities, but you can not feature a product from another brand and drag it down the way they did in this ad. For example in an ad about washing machines, you can use another washing machine (usually ads don't say the name of the other brand) to show that your washing machine is faster than other washing machines IN GENERAL, without any malicious comments to the other brand featured in the ad. But it's absolutely prohibited to just drag the other brand down in an ad. There is a specific European law that states this, I'll find it and copy and paste it in the comments
I thought you would mention that they based the prices on the Surface's base price and the iPad Pro maxed out price.
they didn't. maxed out ipads are a whole other price league.
@@LarryMcLarren no. The baseline iPad Pro is $800, $80 less than the advertised surface price
@@Justin-kd2zp but you realize that what you said has nothing to do with what I said and your "no" is completely wrong? I never said it would be base config. I said it is NOT maxed out. with which I am right. Please consider reading what I said before writing "no".

"The only problem with Microsoft is that they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way. I mean that in a big way. In a sense that they don't think of original ideas and they don't bring much culture into their product." - Steve Jobs

More so as I start to tinker with converting my PCs over to (Garuda) Linux and tinkering with more open source hardware / software / Projects.
Apple is a much less tinkering friendly ecosystem for people that want stuff to "just work" out of the box and that's perfectly fine, I'm just a huge nerd for tech who wants to dig in and play/learn as much as I can with my stuff... and play games, lots of games

The reason why these ads exist is because they can draw in customers that don’t have much knowledge in tech, because they wouldn’t know that the m1 is much much more powerful than an i3, and they see what the ad says, and it works.
Sure, but in doing so, you're cementing Apple's products as the premium brand to beat. And as soon as that person powers up their i3 with 4 gigs of ram and tries to load a game, they're going to realize they got duped.
True though.

@@TimCortesi aaand the moment they realise they got duped, they're taking their money and their loyalty elsewhere!
But, news flash:

So, 2 weeks ago I started looking for a new laptop as my 5 year old Dell Inspiron 17 touch is well past its prime. I looked into the Surface and the M1 MacBook Pro and several other competitors. Long story short, my M1 arrived tomorrow 😁 and I’ve been a strictly PC only user since the late 90’s. The M1’s just offered way more bang for my buck without the hassles that PC’s have.
pretty much same story with me, i loved my m1 since launch and about to upgrade to m2 max
I was like, “is anyone gonna talk about these ads?” And lo and behold, UA-cam algorithm does it again

I CANNOT get over when the kid pushes down the laptop to show it doesnt have the stand Microsoft gives their *tablet*, and the laptop pops right back up lolololol
Honestly, this makes me ever more mad than the Intel ones. The Intel ones were leaving stuff out, but these are straight up lying.
right. saying it comes with the pen is like almost false advertising because technically comes with the pen, but not by default! it's a seperate product!
The ads are bad, but Apple does charge outrageous prices for many of its products. For the Mac Pro, you are paying $6,000 for an 8 core processor with a radeon 580 Pro. With mac Books, you cannot perform any upgrades and again Apple charges insane prices for memory and storage.
I do think it is truly about what you need. Both platforms have pluses and minuses. The Surface Pro is a good product but Luke is right, it is not comparable to the Mac Pro. My Surface Pro 7 is used for traveling and light work. I love your videos.
@@bradleycochran4595 Yeah but its true for other ultrabook brands as well. But desktop prices are insane with apple

The reactions I've seen from Apple fans tells me that something in these ads has struck a nerve with them and now they're lashing out in this way to try and rationalize their own purchases. I own a Surface Pro and an iPad pro; the surface is the only device suitable for getting real work done. The iPad pro is great for "fun" stuff like garageband and other scaled-up iPhone apps, but Apple tries to advertise it as a laptop replacement, which it just isn't.
@@jonathanbishopmusic don’t know what work you do that makes you think the iPad Pro is useless but I can see you have a lot of bias towards Apple saying the IPad Pro is only useful for garage band and other apps that fall under this category. Don’t know about you but for me the iPad Pro had become my go to for closing deals and showing clients projects and designs on the go. Now that doesn’t mean it’s the best and only option as thank god the market is starting to catch up and competitors are making their own version to compete with the IPad Pro. Also you get the tool that best suites your needs and compliments your tasks...but it’s a real stretch to claim the IPad Pro is nothing more than a toy all because you prefer the Surface Pro to it. You sound just as bad as these commercials for the surface pro 💀
@@hugorodriguez5521 Well I guess you're entitled to your own opinion but I've never found my iPad pro to be practical for getting any sort of work done; it's designed for and marketed to consumers as a consumption-oriented device. There are a few apps custom-designed to allow businesses to use an ipad (or any other tablet) as a tool to perform a very specific task, but that doesn't make it a productivity device. I could give a bunch of examples but basically it's simply too locked down by the OS to be a viable alternative to a computer. Things as basic as taking notes in OneNote or extending to a second display are either slow and impractical or simply not possible on an iPad pro.

But even with all of those things you still wouldn't have a device that could replace your laptop. That's something Apple fans and seemingly Apple itself can't quite grasp or understand the significance of, because their concept of a tablet is based on an iPad which isn't a real computer.

There are literally several channels that are talking about these ads (by the way, the worst comparison between Apple products and Microsoft ever seen).
Yes
I made one on my channel surface pro 7 vs MacBook M1 a better choice. Btw Microsoft removed the ad “a better choice” from their UA-cam channel
I thought that was posted 11 MONTHS ago, when you started talking about the intel ad campaign I realized that this video was posted 11 minutes ago
The advertisements like these are so strange to me because in my mind, the Surface and iPad couldn't possibly be any more different. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but beyond the basic shape of the device itself and the touch screen, everything is just too different to compare.
Bruh I love how they make the surface pro look special with the kickstand

I recently got the M1 MacBook Pro. And unlike the Surface Pro 7, the MBP Can actually run minecraft well.
Honestly, when I buy apple products i dont even consider buying from the competition because apple doesnt try and hunt the competition.
My mom fell for these ads when I was getting my
MacBook Pro for college 😂
I bet they held a bunch of “focus groups” to try and come up with these so called “good comparisons”
I first saw these ads and was annoyed. Then their ad with the iPad Pro, I saw the price and was like "wait a minute, there's gotta be something they're not telling me." Quick Google search later and the specs says it all. Gotta love it when they oversell their products.
They seriously think the i3 surface will outperform the M1 lol. I bet even the snapdragons in Android phones are far more powerful than that potato chip.
I looked up the Geekbench 5 Benchmarks for both the i3 and M1. The I3 dual core Surface Pro 7 reaches 867 in the single core score and 2067 in the multi core scor, the M1 MacBook Pro reaches 1740 in the single core score and 7622 in the multi core score. Ah yes I see that the Surface is far more powerful, yeah, of course
Yeah, even if you take the Surface Pro X with max specs, still falls behind the M1 by a long shot
I was so glad to see this video. I yelled at the TV when I saw these ads. They are literally comparing apples to oranges. These two things are not the same or in the same league.
I tried gaming on a surface pro… it was so bad!!! I literally switched surface pro for iPad a few days after my birthday because the surface pro was so janky to me.
I feel like the surface pro 7, with an i5, 8GB ram, and 256GB storage would be an excellent Linux device
Eh, they're alright. Lots of configuration to take full advantage of the touchscreen hardware. It's something I absolutely suggest doing with older, lower end Surface devices, but not going out and buying new ones for.
I'm so happy someone finally talked about these. I saw the first ad a while ago and was literally in shock by just how wrong it was. Like trying to compare a mac book pro to a surface is just insane. And then to call it a gaming laptop smh.
I saw that add months ago and it made me mad😂 thanks for covering it
After having an M1 chip on an iPad pro I have to say this, what is a surface board?.
I like how the kid said he enjoys gaming, when my i7 8gb surface pro 3 couldn't even run Skyrim lmao, it's a tablet, not aimed for gaming
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.

Nice video. I think another good example is when Xiaomi AND Samsung pulled out ads making fun of Apple for selling phones without a charger, only to a couple of months later, they all followed protocol. At least from what I heard, in official Xiaomi stores you get to choose, with or without the power adapter, with no extra charge.
They could've mentioned the fact of being able to use full desktop apps in a tablet form factor...
Or maybe the keyboard click is really important I dunno
the difference between desktop and "mobile" apps is becoming increasingly smaller, to the point where app availability is rarely a deciding factor. the last holdout is AAA gaming titles, which i think is at a tipping point with the current generation
@@Haldered I think with only a few companys the line is getting blurred, From the top of my head there is still quite a few more specialized apps that Desktop OS's have over Mobile.
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.
Something that always bothers me about these ads is that they focus so much on the comparison that they never explain what makes their product actually good. Let's pretend that every comparison they made was actually valid. Cool, so it's better that the ipad in these few traits... why should I buy it?
Notice how Microsoft didn’t talk about performance 😂
"comes with"
it took half a month extra for my sister's Surface Pen to arrive after she got her Surface Pro 7 (she got it before the ads of course)
Cute sona 💖
Okay. I've said it before. I really am seeing you everywhere. I'm kinda scared now
LMAO
I think the only sales on these are confused grandmas who’s kid wants a gaming pc
After watching … makes me feel like i wanna buy an iPad or a Mac …
I laughed so hard when it said "Offical Laptop of the NHL"
NFL you mean?
Lmao they specified it was a tablet and now they said laptop. *Instructions unclear meme alert*
I like the way you break down the arguments. Also the background and lighting is pretty top notch
I got a surface and payed $1200 for the i5 with the pen , type cover, a warranty and Microsoft 365 and within 7 months the charger already crapped out, I love my surface but these ads are plain out bad
As someone who owns both a surface go and a MacBook Pro, there are a million things I can laugh at these commercials for knowing that the surface go... just isn’t good
As a european I can't even believe this is real lol.

The ads are garbage but may be effective with those less tech savvy, which is the majority of people.
True but for me as a tech enthusiast I thought these ads were pretty cringe
I watched the first one youtube and I was like pfft who the hell uses surface lmao
Nobody uses surface
Sooo now that the iPads have the M1 what is Microsoft gonna say?
"But I love the click on my Surface..."
Probably
"iPad Pro is just a tablet" meanwhile it is multitudes more powerful than the surface
Absolutely agree on the method of advertising you talked about towards the end of the video. Great insight!
I love my games... solitare, pinball and hearts! 😅
Oh, it clicks? IM SOLD!
Another problem with comparative advertising is, you automatically put yourself in the underdog position trying to catch up with the other person/product/company
funfact: in germany (i think its a european law) its illegal to run such ads like joking about the concurrent
I wrote the same thing! In Italy it's the same, it's absolutely illegal to even feature another brand in your ad.
@@Martina-od1wv oh nice. didnt see that but thanks for this info
The only reason the iPad keyboard is heavier is that it needs to be able to weigh down the iPad itself. This is why the part of your laptop where the keyboard is, is heavier than the display part.
Them going after the MacBook comparing it to a surface was just silly 😂😂
Microsoft’s logic: windows=gaming
very close to the truth id say, try gaming on anything apple
@@Moon-lk8uc Very true. I game on Windows. I’m implying that Microsoft is thinking “oh since this insanely low powered device runs Windows it’s going to be suitable for gaming”
@@Moon-lk8uc Well, actually I believe Mac is not suitable for gaming because most games are not compatible with it. MacBooks are getting better with it with M1 although still, a long way to go since Apple Silicone has no dGPU and most likely not have any in the future. ARM architecture does not need one.
honestly Mac gaming is getting better and better the must have stuff like tf2 and csgo is already on Mac
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?
It’s interesting how companies mention one another directly in their ads in the US. It’s not really a thing in South Africa.
I also think you’re giving your competition free exposure at your cost. If I didn’t know about your competitor, after your ad, now I do and I’m going to start considering them too.
Yes, but only in case of some products. You would rarely find people who knows a lot about Windows and none about Mac. Rarely.
Lmao yes! 😂 I saw these ads on tv and was just laughing the whole time!! 😂🖐
I think the problem is Microsoft knows that a ton of people have little to no knowledge of what any of the insides do or any of the other specs and that the main features are price and outside look
When I think of gaming, I think of a 2 in 1 tablet
with an i3, integrated graphics and a snap on keyboard!
me too friend
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.
and you know what they say: NEVER show the other guy how desperate you are
Microsoft Windows boy: a lot of people wanted me to compare the surface pro and the iPad Pro!
Me: Who Exactly?
"Alot of people wanted me to compare the Ipad pro and surface 7"
Did people really lol
