Microsoft ridicules MacBook Pro for not having a touchscreen – forget about iPad Pro

Microsoft used a commercial for its Surface Pro 7 to attack the MacBook Pro during the NFL championship game on Sunday. The ad, a kind of reversal of the “I’m a Mac” commercial from the mid to late 2000s, points out Apple’s hesitation to include a touch screen with its laptops.

The ad goes specifically behind Apple’s touch bar, with an actor exclaiming, “Why can’t they give me an entire touch screen?

We suspect it is because Apple wants you to buy an iPad.

Unfortunately for Surface, the ad has a high rate of dislike on YouTube. It seems that Apple fans are not very happy with Microsoft’s call. Unfortunately, too, comments have been disabled so you can’t read MacBook fans responding to the fire against the laptop maker who scoffed at them.

As for the MacBook Pro touch bar, rumors began to circulate that the company plans to eliminate the slim OLED screen. If true, it confirms that consumers have not found much use for the touch bar.

Strangely, Microsoft’s announcement states that the Surface Pro is a better gaming device than the MacBook Pro. While this may be true on paper, as the Windows game library is much larger than on MacOS, it is false to maintain the Surface as a gaming device.

The current Surface Pro 7 uses 10th generation Intel Core processors. The integrated Intel UHD graphics card is far from being a gaming powerhouse. According to our sister publication Laptop Mag, the 10th Generation of UHD graphics can barely run a seven-year game like Grand Theft Auto V. Although, the upcoming Intel 11th Generation CPUs with Iris Xe Graphics have a much superior integrated graphics processor. But we will have to wait to get our hands on the action before we know how it really stands out.

Of course, Microsoft has a price advantage. The MacBook Pro sells for $ 1,299, while the Core i5 Surface with keyboard and stylus starts at $ 890. Granted, the MacBook Pro comes with Apple’s new stellar M1 chip.
