The AirPrint only is what kills the iPad for me

And why should anyone have to pay or buy to make a simple thing print to any printer ? It's a computer and should be able too print to any printer

Looks rather big for a pad ? Don't you think that's all there really is to compare ?

As I always comment on their videos: compare the App Store.

Oh wow... so taking notes is why Windows 8 is better? Windows 8 tablets also say they're better than a laptop too... it's a big tablet and it's Microsoft. An Android Galaxy S4 can do that just as well, even an iPhone 5. Plus all they're really saying is they have a split screen feature. Any computer Mac, PC, Android, iOS, tablet can do split screen; all it is, is a jailbreak, tweak or an app or some software on your Mac/PC. Nothing new or big here, just a sad TV ad showing nothing new! Plus Android does this all day! Windows 8 should stop copying!

Microsoft has been trying to market a niche product against a mass market product, not too smart. However, in this commercial, they are targeting a niche market, students, where their Windows 8 tablets might be more appropriate. So this would be one of the few instances of marketing done right by Microsoft.

lol look how big that thing is compared to an iPad... not really a direct comparison. They'd be better off comparing it against the MacBook Air which is a beautifully thin and light weight ultrabook, just without the touch screen.
