Microsoft: we can not sell - we lie

What did not do to somehow sell your product. For example, the guys from Microsoft have already fallen to outright lies. We present our "fair" comparison of tablets on Windows 8 and iPad.

Thus, the objects of comparison: iPad 64 GB (4th gen) versus ASUS VivoTab Smart 64 GB.

Screens, diagonal, square

Carefully look at the picture above, provided by Microsoft. On ASUS it with 10.1 inch diagonal screen is depicted as if 36% more than iPad diagonal 9.7 inches.

And what will happen if we think of the aspect ratio of the screen and the count in the squares? It will include the iPad, with its "small" screen area of ​​the screen of 45.16 square inches, while "more» ASUS can boast of only 43.56 square inches. That is, the image ASUS screen is 36%, but in reality it is by 3.5% less.

Once again, look at the picture above. You see? They are drawn as if are identical in width. And now look at them the same, but in the commercial. Here's what these two plate relative to each other in the harsh real world.

Well, the Microsoft, well, not so well :) Let you even put on an almost white background white Apple tablet, to maximize smear its size, but we still see - iPad is actually wider.

But this innovation in its purest form. At that time, while other manufacturers have to really make the device larger, these guys just learned how to scale in Photoshop.

Okay, let's say, advertising designer was drunk, not inspected him. But how to be with their own statement that "the ASUS touchscreen more»? See above about the area of ​​the screen, compare. No need to be a guru Mata, to calculate a larger number of 45 and 43.

Continuing the theme of the screens. If you move away from the area and go to the number of pixels, the MS completely forgot to include the fact that the iPad has screen with a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels, while in this ASUS «HD screen" with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. This screen is appropriate to compare with the iPad screen three years ago.

On the iPad you do not have Office - said the founder and owner of Office

Funny, is not it? Microsoft notes that the only tool available on the iPad is the OneNote, while on Windows 8, you will have access to all Office applications. All this sounds from the mouth of a company that manages the Office and destiny for the iPad.

Further. In advertising it is written: the user of the tablet on Windows 8 have 7 GB in SkyDrive, a user iPad - 5 GB iCloud. Excuse me, but what prevents the user of the iPad to create a user account in MS and to connect additional SkyDrive and more, increasing the total volume of its storage up to 12 GB? Or to ask Google, Dropbox, Box, and more ten other cloud storage?

Price and memory

Both the tablet with 64 GB of memory, but the iPad costs $ 699 and $ 449 the ASUS. Okay, 64 GB - is the amount of support, and how much is available to the user? On iPad 64GB available approximately 57 GB. Windows 8 on the tablet 64 GB 33 GB available. Remind them how much iPad 32 GB?
