"All my students have the brand new Surface," said the teacher. "It has the new Windows and comes with Office, has a real keyboard, so they can do real work."
The advertisement noted the Bing Smart Search feature that allows people to "find anything in the world" and even "last night's assignment."
The 30-second advertisement quickly noted the battery life of the Surface "lasts and lasts" and how it can be efficient providing Skype, games, and the teacher's favorite "homework."
The educator concluded the advertisement stating, "Change is looking pretty good after all."
The advertisement comes after Microsoft released the second-generation Surface tablets across 22 countries.
