Microsoft has aired a new commercial for the Surface Pro tablet entitled 'The Vibe'.

The new tablet was launched on Saturday (February 9th) and early reports suggest that many locations sold out of their stock; however, it's unclear how many units were available to begin with.

Pricing for the Surface Pro starts at $899. You can find a review roundup here.

Notably, Apple introduced a new 128GB version of its iPad 4 just days before the launch of the Surface Pro.

Take a look at the new commercial below...

The only add showing practical use of their product was the little girl painting with one. The rest of these leave me confused and feeling a bit nauseous. Worse for MS I doubt the girl's allowance could cover the price.

What a completely uninformative advertisement. Wouldn't most people like to know some facts regarding the product rather than watching yet another meaningless dancefest?

Things the S Pro can do that iPad can't > Active Pen. > Pin-point accuracy of pointing devices > Palm rejections when writing/drawing > Support all the software you can install on a PC > i5 Core processor (Super Powerful) > 4GB of RAM > Photoshop runs like butter > Pretty much the only tool a graphic designer would ever need. Full versions of SBP, Art Rage, Manga, PS > OneNote support, hand written notes, OCR conversion (hand to text) > Write on PDFs, Insert PDF parts to Notes, Highlight PDF portion and insert notes on highlights > It has a USB, Micro HDMI > It accepts mouse, keyboard, extra monitor, external hardrive (all at the same time) I can continue if you wish...

Oh...didn't you hear? The tablet's 'pressure sensitiveness' works on a handfull of metro apps...thats it So it won't work with Photoshop, not that you'd EVER use it as a wacom tablet for photoshop as it's only 10 inches...double that, and your just about at a decent usable Wacom size...but hey, you could buy two of them! Then they still wouldn't work with photoshop.
