Introduction to Microsoft Surface Laptop 13-inch: Review

It's hard to even call this a course. It's a marketing brochure for the new Surface Laptop, plain and simple. I clicked through the whole thing in about 15 minutes, mostly just scrolling past stock photos and bullet points about 'AI-driven productivity' and 'secure enterprise deployment.' I suppose if my job was to decide which laptops to buy for an entire company, this might be a quick way to see Microsoft's talking points. For anyone else? It's just an ad.

The 'Knowledge Check' at the end was the most ridiculous part. The questions weren't about technical specs or how the hardware actually works. They were literally things like, 'What is the key benefit of Surface Laptop for business?' and the correct answer was a copy-paste of a marketing slogan from the previous slide. You're not being tested on knowledge; you're being tested on how well you absorbed the sales pitch.

I get that Microsoft wants to use its Learn platform to promote products, but this feels dishonest. Calling it a 'training module' sets an expectation of learning something. I didn't learn a skill, I didn't gain any technical insight, and I certainly don't feel more informed. I just learned what Microsoft's marketing department wants me to think about their new laptop. A five-minute YouTube review video would have been more educational.
