New Surface Book TV ads take time to slam the Mac

Microsoft has a new commercial campaign for its Surface Book 2-in-1 notebook, featuring professional animal photographer Tim Flach offering his opinions on the laptop. He seems to go out of his way to point out two things on the Surface Book that he cannot do on a MacBook.

In the main 30-second ad, Flach says that he likes the fact he can draw and edit photos with the Surface Book's touchscreen display and its Surface Pen directly, which he cannot do on a Mac. He also praises the high-resolution screen on the Surface Book, which he also says is much better than his MacBook.

Microsoft has also released two 15-second versions of the ad featuring Flach. You can check both of them out below.
