Who it's for

Business leaders curious about the Surface + Copilot sales pitch.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking for hands-on tutorials or a balanced product comparison.

Pros

  • Quick overview of the intended synergy between Surface hardware and Copilot.
  • Shows a few specific AI-assisted workflows, like creating a presentation.
  • Mentions specific hardware features (pen, mic) in a business context.

Cons

  • Essentially a 20-minute commercial for Microsoft hardware.
  • No hands-on component; you just read about what the products can do.
  • The 'Knowledge Check' is trivial and just tests if you read the ad copy.
  • Feels more like a sales enablement deck than a training module.

The sales team sent this over, and it's a slideshow, not a training. You read about a hypothetical person named Julia using a Surface with Copilot to make a presentation. The whole thing feels like one of those in-flight magazines showing a CEO effortlessly closing deals from a yacht. Yes, the pen can ink on a slide, and Copilot can summarize notes. I get it. But there's no 'why'—no sense of the trade-offs or when *not* to use these things. It just lists features.

The quiz at the end basically asks, 'Did you read the ad?' This isn't for learning. It's for aligning your team with Microsoft's marketing talking points before a hardware refresh cycle. It does its job as a vision piece, I suppose, but don't assign this to your team expecting them to come back with new skills.
