Microsoft has released three new videos showcasing the Surface as it relates to the IT professional. At about 2 minutes for each video, ample time is allowed to explain the full breadth of what uses a Surface might have throughout the day. For instance, for a city IT department employee talks about how he can stay productive on his commute to work.

“Mobility is productivity to us,” he says. Then, while he and his colleagues view a PowerPoint presentation, he notes that all of the applications the city needs – about 200 of them – run on the Surface. And of course, he can use it for relaxation, mapping out his blokart races.

Obviously, these are advertisements, and as such portray Microsoft’s perfect world in which we all use their devices in textbook scenarios. Things rarely work out to be so tidy, but the Surface does seem particularly well-suited to help IT workers who are on the go. You can take a look at the videos below:

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
