Microsoft rekindled the Mac versus PC feud after releasing a new ad that pits its Windows-powered Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 against the Apple MacBook Air. The video shows a comparison between the devices via a dance-off presentation.
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is a touchscreen, hybrid laptop that tilts all the way so it can also be used as a tablet. The MacBook Air doesn't have this feature.

It doesn't fold back and have a touchscreen display and Microsoft bills this as a weakness. In the ad, Microsoft pokes fun at the MacBook Air being 4 mm thicker than the Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 convertible.
It also mocks the MacBook Air for its inability to transform into tent and tablet modes. Because of this, Microsoft said it's "game over" with Lenovo scoring an easy victory.
Microsoft said it was an epic dance off in which the MacBook Air didn't stand a chance against the Lenovo Yoga Pro 3's multi-mode flexibility and sleekness.
It claims the newest Surface Pro 3 tablet can kill a MacBook Air because of its stylus support, touchscreen and detachable keyboard. It also highlights the fact the device is capable of running Adobe Photoshop. Surface Pro 3 also has a stark and simple feel.
Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro is a thin, transformable laptop that bends backwards to turn into a tablet. In the video ad, Microsoft establishes the device is both capable of computer and notebook functions.
It then beats the MacBook Air with its 13 mm body as opposed to the latter's 17 mm. It can turn into tablet and tent mode with a touchscreen, features the MacBook Air doesn't have.
