Microsoft has released a commercial taking a hit on Apple’s iPad. 

The Redmond company has been heavily promoting its Windows services such as the Windows 8/RT and Windows Phone 8. This video has shown the strength of the Windows 8 RT against the rival tablet. The Asus Vivobook RT is the star on this video that offers a very sleek and stunning design at the same time lighter than the iPad.

Watch this video and see the difference.

On this short video, it was clearly demonstrated on what a Windows 8 RT can do that an iPad can’t. In terms of hardware, the VivoBook has a slimmer profile of .32″ compared to .37″ on the iPad. It is also lighter than the iPad from 1.44lbs down to 1.16lbs. With Vivobook, you don’t have to use an external card reader because its in-built.

Windows 8 RT also offers great multitasking experience which you can use two applications simultaneously on the screen plus other apps on the background. It also offers great productivity pack out of the box with MS Office. Lastly, it works on most printers without any issues.

Truly, Windows 8 RT makes a difference on your tablet experience with more features and hardware support but less the price via the Vivobook. This is what Microsoft needs to boost their Windows 8 RT platform to the market. Product awareness, lower price point, stunning hardware and great services would make them gain more popularity. But Microsoft needs to work on its apps availability for the RT platform in which the iPad still rules.
