With the holiday shopping season just around the corner, it makes sense to promote your products with interesting ads. And what better way to make an ad interesting than to poke fun at Apple?

Here are some recently released ads that promote Microsoft products while making fun of Apple products.

MacBook Air Can’t Dance! The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Can!

Apple’s MacBook Air goes against the new Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro in an epic dance-off. Thanks to its multi-mode flexibility, the Yoga 3 Pro wins the dance-off.



Microsoft set up a webpage that presents the differences between the MacBook Air and the new Lenovo Yoga 3. You can check it out by following this link.

A Phone Case that Lets You Interact with Cortana

Siri is Apple’s personal assistant and Cortana is Microsoft’s personal assistant for mobile devices like the new HTC One (M8) for Windows for example. By using the HTC Dot View Case, you can easily interact with Cortana on the new HTC One (M8) for Windows. Without having to remove the cover, you can chat with Cortana, take calls, and get notifications.



I have to remind you that back in September, Nokia rolled out a few videos that show how Cortana is so much better than Siri. You can watch the videos in this article from September.

If you purchased a new HTC One (M8) for Windows, you can get a free Xbox limited edition HTC Dot View case until January 31st.

The Surface Pro 3 Is Better Than Your Laptop

In this musical ad, Microsoft aims to emphasize that the new Surface Pro 3 is better that your MacBook Air laptop. Or to put it in other words. Microsoft wants to show that its tablet is much more versatile and more useful than a traditional laptop.

Bigger Is Not Always Better

The iPhone 6 Plus has a large 5.5-inch Retina HD display. But bigger doesn’t always mean better. You don’t need a bigger phone, says Microsoft, you need a better personal assistant – like Cortana on the new Lumia 830.
