    <p>On the black Surface Book… do you guys realize that the imagery in the Intel video is 100% CGI? They don't photograph that stuff. It would be far more costly to set up those camera/product moves in a motion control rig than to just animate and render it in 3D. They probably just bought the $69 SurfaceBook model off Turbosquid and changed it to black because it looked better in the context of their video. </p><p><br></p><p>It's not a lighting issue, it's not necessarily, or even likely, Microsoft assets. It's run of the mill CGI that any competent 3D artist could make in a weekend. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
