Reviewer's verdict

It's a product brochure, not a course. Skip unless your job involves buying Surface devices for a company and you need the talking points.

Who it's for

IT admins or business buyers needing a quick overview of Surface Pro specs for procurement.

Who should skip it

Developers, students, or anyone looking for technical skills.

Pros

  • Very short, can be completed quickly.
  • Summarizes key hardware and AI features of the new Surface Pro.
  • Acts as a quick reference guide before a purchase decision.

Cons

  • Essentially a marketing brochure in a learning module wrapper.
  • The 'Knowledge Check' is trivial and tests recall of product names.
  • No hands-on component or practical application beyond reading specs.

This one felt weird. It's structured like a normal Microsoft Learn module, with units and a knowledge check, but the content is just a sales pitch for the new Surface Pro. The whole thing took maybe 20 minutes, and the quiz at the end basically asks if you remember the product's name and its key features. It's not a 'course' in any real sense.

I guess if my job was to decide which laptops to buy for a company, this would be a fast way to get the official spec sheet and marketing points. For a student or anyone trying to learn a skill, there's nothing here. The AI section was just a list of Copilot+ features you can read about anywhere. I clicked through it, got the checkmark, and still don't feel like I 'learned' anything.
