Microsoft Offers $650 To MacBook Users Who Switch To A Surface Tablet (techcrunch.com)

After Wednesday's announcement of their new Surface Studio tablet, Microsoft launched a campaign to entice MacBook users to try Surface tablets. An anonymous Slashdot reader quotes TechCrunch: Essentially, the company is offering MacBook owners $650 toward a Surface Pro or Surface Book, if they trade in their Apple laptop. Sure, it's all promotion, but it's the sort of gag that affords the company opportunity to showcase its perceived advantages over Cupertino as the company looks to appeal more and more toward creatives -- a category long dominated by Apple.
The offer is only valid through November 7th, according to Microsoft's official rules, and the deal does not extend to iPads.

Compared to the new MacBook Pro the Surface tablet is probably faster too :-D

Sadly they both have the same dual core cpu but the MS one is 1/3 the price. FYI I own a surface pro 3 and Ubuntu runs great on it! No you did not misread that if anyone wants to run it on a thin and light form factor I recommend it. I still have Windows 10 as well for my Netfix apps which are are handy on a plane.
