Supermom Ployphan Dyrendal honored for excellence in balancing every facet of life

Bangkok, 14 June 2016 – Microsoft Thailand is celebrating the power of modern women making their own mark in the world with the #WomenInCtrl campaign, which presents the story of multi-talented supermom Ployphan Dyrendal as she deftly balances every facet of her life as a flight attendant, an entrepreneur, and a mother with the power of the Surface Pro 4 – Microsoft’s award-winning tablet that can replace your laptop.

“In each day, I have to deal with many things. On top of taking care of my kids Panther and Puma, I have to oversee my businesses – including Alice’s Pizza food truck – and travel overseas as a flight attendant,” said Ployphan. “With the Surface Pro 4 as my companion, my life is now much easier. The tablet fits just right in my compact flight luggage, and its light weight makes it perfect for a traveler like myself. The Surface Pro 4 can be anything for me – a notebook for scribbling down ideas, a full laptop for mobile work, a powerful communication tool through Skype video calls, an ultra-sharp portable TV for relaxing times, and a toy that can help my kids develop new skills. It does all that while still keeping up a stylish, thin-and-light design. I can say that the Surface Pro 4 addresses both my family and working needs. It is a perfect fit for modern women.”

“When it comes to security, I am not worried at all about losing my personal data or being hacked since the Surface Pro 4 is a very secure tablet thanks to new Windows 10 innovations like Windows Hello, which uses a special camera to recognize my face instead of simple passwords. This is both faster and more secure for me. For virus protection, I have Windows Defender and SmartScreen as well as regular feature updates that help users like me stay safe,” Ployphan added.

In addition to her life experiences, Ployphan also offered first-hand proof of the Surface Pro 4’s power and versatility in the “My Pizza Inspiration” workshop activity, which challenged event attendees to take on the role of a food truck business owner and create custom pizza recipes in their own distinctive style using the OneNote app and the Microsoft Surface Pen. As the owner of Alice’s Pizza, Ployphan delivered the final verdict on the winning team herself.

The Surface Pro 4’s ultra-thin body measures just 8.4 mm across and weighs in at 766 grams while also packing in a 12.3-inch PixelSense touchscreen. This gives the tablet compact, handy dimensions to complement its stylish looks, while excellent durability is achieved with magnesium alloy casing and Gorilla Glass 4 display.

The integrated kickstand can open up to a maximum angle of 150 degrees, allowing the Surface Pro 4 to be used in virtually any situation – from drawing and writing with the Surface Pen, which comes with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity and reduced latency for natural writing, to typing up documents with the Surface Pro Type Cover accessory, which turns the Surface Pro 4 tablet into a laptop in just a snap.

“Surface Pro 4 is the best tablet yet from Microsoft and the best tablet in the market. By packing laptop-class performance into the body of a tablet and delivering hardware features that take full advantage of Windows 10, the Surface Pro 4 is empowering users everywhere to achieve more. Strong and capable women can turn to the Surface Pro 4 for a companion that helps them keep it all in control, break through all barriers, and make their mark on the world by doing great things for themselves and those around them,” said Rachod Isarankura Na Ayuthaya, Windows and Surface Client Business Group Lead, Microsoft (Thailand) Limited.

Customers interested in the Surface Pro 4 can take advantage of a special offer from the Microsoft Store on Lazada (bit.ly/21kqQQ7). While supplies last, every purchase of a Surface Pro 4 (Core M and Core i5 models only) will come with a free Type Cover (5,190 baht value).
