It features a 13-inch OLED Touchscreen, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. This deal is only available for Prime members, if you don’t have it, you can get a free trial and take part. If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to buy a top-tier 2-in-1 with support for Copilot+ PC AI features, then this is a strong offering. The Surface Pro 2-in-1 features a 13-inch OLED touchscreen display that has a 2880 x 1920 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s powered by the Snapdragon X Elite (12 Core) processor with NPU (45 TOPS), has 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. Combined, these make for a speedy computer with an all-day battery life. Thanks to the NPU, this laptop qualifies as a Windows 11 Copilot+ PC which means you get access to more AI features such as Recall, Windows Studio Effects, Cocreate, and Real-time translation. As a 2-in-1, you can turn it into a laptop or a tablet with a pen, but be aware that the detachable Surface Pro Flex Keyboard and Surface Slim Pen are both sold separately. The Surface Pro is suitable for a variety of people including Creative professionals, students, and mobile workers who value portability, long battery life, and AI features.

Those who do buy it will get excellent build quality, a stunning OLED display, and robust performance for everyday tasks and AI features. On the flip side, some downsides include that it’s ARM-based and may have some software compatibility quirks, and the essential keyboard and pen can carry a high cost.

National Academy for AI Instruction launched with support from Microsoft, OpenAI, and others by Pradeep Viswanathan The AFT is an organization that represents 1.8 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers and other education-related staff in the U.S. Today, the AFT announced the launch of the National Academy for AI Instruction, supported by Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic. The National Academy for AI Instruction is a $23 million initiative that will offer free AI training and curriculum to all 1.8 million AFT members. It will also feature a state-of-the-art facility in Manhattan, NY, designed to transform how AI is taught in classrooms across the country. "The academy will help address the gap in structured, accessible AI training and provide a national model for AI-integrated curriculum and teaching that puts educators in the driver’s seat," the AFT stated in its press release announcing the initiative. The academy’s training program was developed by leading AI experts and experienced educators. It will include workshops, online courses, and hands-on training sessions. The academy will also offer ongoing support and resources to help educators stay current with the rapidly evolving field of AI. Training is set to begin later this year, with plans to scale nationwide in the coming years. The goal is to support 400,000 educators—approximately 10 percent of the U.S. teaching workforce—over the next five years. Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft, said: This partnership between a major teachers' union and leading AI companies marks a significant step toward integrating AI into school education. -

Latest Windows 11 Patch Tuesday fixes Firewall issue by Usama Jawad Microsoft rolled out Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11 yesterday. For the former, the release primarily contains security patches, but for the latter, there are several other fixes and enhancements in tow too. One of those is related to a pesky Windows Firewall issue that cropped up recently. About a week ago, Microsoft acknowledged an issue in the June 2025 non-security preview update for Windows 11 (KB5060829), which resulted in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security logging an error event. That said, the company emphasized to customers that there is nothing to worry about as this particular log does not indicate any malfunction in Windows Firewall, and is just related to an upcoming feature that has not been fully developed yet. It informed IT admins that they don't need to take any action to resolve this issue and can either ignore it or filter it out from Event Viewer. With the latest Patch Tuesday updates that became available for Windows 11, version 24H2 yesterday (KB5062553), Microsoft has confirmed that this Windows Firewall problem has now been fully resolved. The updated Windows Release Health dashboard entry does not reveal any other details, but it does urge customers to install the latest Patch Tuesday update in order to get rid of the faulty error log. For those interested in the details, the error was being logged as Event 2042 each time the device was restarted. It was listed as Config Read Failed with an additional message noting that "More data is available". It wasn't a major concern for IT admins and customers since this faulty error event did not impact any of the operating system's operations or processes, but Microsoft first acknowledged this problem on July 2, so it's nice to see the company rolling out the patch in an efficient manner. -
