# Check out Microsoft's Marketing Genius
This is straight from their official page advertising the new Surface Pro 2 brick.

If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself, it's been there for several days now, so I'm not assuming any of them are bright enough to have pulled it yet:

# As always...
Microsoft are well behind the times.

The fucked up dimensions seem to be on all their Surface pages. So they've gone all out on copying the Mactini specs.

# How big is it meant to be?

# I think what they've done is
taken the width and height in inches, that's the first two, and the depth in millimetres. Hard to tell from their shitty mickey mouse diagram. Compare that to the dimension specs page for a Mac Mini, and you'll see why Microsoft are struggling to sell any of their new shit.

Pointing out a seemingly amateurish mistake. But wait! I have used many complex technical skills to perform a screen grab and save it as a JPEG, which I have uploaded as an image, in order to… ah fuck it, wrong board.
Shoot me now.
