A leaked advertisement for the Surface Laptop 2 features a man named Mac Book comparing the Surface Laptop 2 and the MacBook. The commercial is tongue-in-cheek and reminiscent of a Taco Bell advertisement in which Taco Bell hired several people named Ronald McDonald to say they liked Taco Bell. The Microsoft commercial was leaked by Twitter user WalkingCat.

The ad compares the Surface Laptop 2 to the MacBook in regards to battery life, speed, and touch screen. As you'd expect, the commercial highlights areas in which the Surface Laptop 2 beats the MacBook.

It's worth pointing out that the fine print in the commercial says that the comparison is against the MacBook Air.

A beautiful device

The fact that a real person named Mac Book recommends the Surface Laptop 2 over the MacBook Pro in this ad is hilarious. The guy’s name is the only reason why we’d ever bring up this commercial.

Microsoft may have delayed Windows 10X and Surface Neo beyond 2020

Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10X and Surface Neo products may not be shipping in time for the holiday after all, according to a new report from ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley. This means that other Windows 10X devices from third-party manufactures also won't be launching at the end of this year like originally planned. Microsoft's dual-screen Windows 10X effort has been put on pause.

Microsoft has come out with a new marketing campaign that features a man called Mackenzie Book (read: Mac Book) explaining why a Surface Laptop 2 is a better option than an Apple MacBook, in his humble opinion.

The 30-second ad consists of a quick-fire Q&A session between a voiceover narrator and the man-Mac himself, who proceeds to explain why he thinks the Microsoft machine beats Apple's notebook in various departments.

'So Mac, which laptop lasts longer?' the narrator asks.

'Surface laptop lasts longer,' Book responds.

The actor's answers are accompanied by the text 'Mac Book says Surface laptop ... [lasts longer / is faster / has a better touchscreen.]' The latter response is qualified by the narrator with the remark 'Oh right, because MacBooks don't have touchscreens.'

The ad ends with two thumbs up from Mr Book and his recommendation: 'You should get a Surface. Trust me, I'm Mac Book.' His sign-off is followed by the tagline, 'Mac Book says get a Surface Laptop.'

Microsoft and Apple have often taken aim at each other over the years with jokey Mac vs. PC ads. From 2006 to 2009, Justin Long played a Mac computer in Apple's 'Get a Mac' campaign, alongside John Hodgman, who played a PC.

The commercials always started out with the tagline 'Hello, I'm a Mac,' and were some of Apple's most iconic ads, featuring Long as the cool, casual Mac and Hodgman as a stuffy PC in a suit and tie.

However, Microsoft's latest effort is a decidedly left-field take on the man/Mac concept.

Last year, Microsoft released a holiday ad promoting its Surface Go over Apple's iPad, using the tagline 'Big dreams need a real computer.'

Microsoft's 2018 ad was aimed at Apple's own 'What's a Computer?' ad campaign, which began in 2016 and showed off some things that the iPad Pro can do as a replacement to a traditional laptop computer.
