Surface Devices

It’s what started the Surface range yes. I don’t recall saying the same thing about the Surface tho.
The Neo and Duo seem like devices that are the future, i was surprised that Microsoft worked on them and not Apple.
It seems the Microsoft of C.E.O is showing off the Surface Duo. I wonder what the hold up is on realising the Neo and Duo? if it's useable and the C.E.O. as well as Panos and others inside Microsoft are using these devices, even out in public then surely they must be nearly ready by now. So why do we have to wait until the end of this year in order to get our hands on them?
Probably just being impatient here
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is already using the dual-screen Surface Duo
One of the perks of being the bosswww.techradar.com
Likely not ready for public release and MS needs to get as many Dev's onboard as possible.
Q-6
How is the battery life?
I am really tempted to get one but battery life reports are all over the place.
While I had it, I think the reports of not as good as the 6 were accurate. For me, 7 hours, for drawing in Concepts, web surfing and watching YouTube.
You may get longer battery life times but that was me.
7 hours is more than enough. I'll using it for office, note taking and web browsing primarily.
PS
After 8 months with the Surface Studio 2 I am very pleased with it (using it for photo editing and casual gaming).
Its louder than I like but, its a compromise willing to make due to its size.

I still want one so much.
What would be really cool is if they released the same touch/pen display on the same tilt arm, but without the CPU -- just a Microsoft Surface connector into which one could plug in a Surface laptop, Surface Pro or Surface Book. That I would buy for my SB2 in a heartbeat.
Man, I would love to get a display like the one in the Studio without the PC attached to it
Why is no one making anything like that

I am certainly anticipating the SB3 before we see the Duo/Neo. That is a rumor via an MS employee that should be taken as unreliable.
it will be interesting to see if there are any design updates to the SB3. Maybe they will announce it at an event in October, alongside the Surface Duo and Neo with release dates, pricing and more info!
There has been rumor chatter about a potential Surface Book 3.
It would be nice if MS did not wait until October to announce it.

It would be a mistake to ship the SB3 with the Nvidia 1660Ti. Nvidia's Ampere are rumored to be very good with over 50% performance increase and half the wattage. They may not release the mobile variants until next year, but maybe they can get away with the desktop version in the base with better cooling.
Been watching a lot of videos of the Neo and Duo. I'm due for a new iPad Pro, but I might wait to see how the Neo performs. Even the Duo intrigues me, just wish it was Win10X and emulated Android apps, rather than being a pure Android device.

That's exactly what i'm doing, i'm due an update to my iPad Pro (i think the touch issue is coming to my iPad Pro 2017 replacement
) I have watched and re-watched the Neo and Duo announcements and videos, they both look like great devices. I'm going to wait until they are released and reviewed for a while before i make my decision. I would like the software to be really good before i buy and to also have a great range of apps available for both Neo and Duo.I'm also not sure if the Neo and Duo will be available in the U.K (where i'm from) at launch. Neo and Duo are both mentioned on the US Microsoft Surface page, however nothing is mentioned on the U.K page
Just got the $550 GO today - replace a dying 12 year old Thinkpad...
Love the iPad - so why not a Windows One? Keyboard and Trackpad/Mouse support!!!

Really interesting take on the future of Surface from Paul Thurrott (it’s behind a pay wall but can be circumvented due to the ability to view 3 free articles a month): https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/microsoft-surface/229261/should-we-be-worried-about-surface
Even in a down quarter, the Mac managed to generate almost 4 times the revenue of the Surface line, which competes in the same price segment. It’s interesting that despite a much greater evolution of the Surface product mix, Microsoft seems unable to grow the business.

Does Apple?
Seriously, less people are buying Macs, and given their problems over the last several years, I'm not sure how much mystique is left ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mystique has been replaced with bafflement over Apple's sad deterioration with regards to quality control, workmanship, caring about the customer, transparency, coherent choice of both hardware and software features etc.
