Surface Duo Discussion Thread

I lay the blame for “magic” being used in the description or name of electronic devices on Steve Jobs.

I seem to recall “super” used to promote products in US TV commercials back in the 1960s. It might have gone back further but that would be before even my time.

 

And that's all you'll need except your working in a treacherous surrounding. I, for one, hate cases.

I am sure the Surface DUO team is reading the comments here ...especially on cooking

Also has been listed on ebay for USD 3000!!!

 

very good demo

 

I'm unusually normal.

 

Wait...$1500 preorder for an Android tablet? Yea, dual screens, but you could zip tie two Go's together for less and still have Windows. Unless I am missing something...

Edit: Okay, I am watching all the vids. It is a phone and a tablet in one so if I want to replace my Go and my Samsung phone it would actually be more than 1500. The dual screens are nice too. So I suppose the initial shock is wearing off.

 

I think he is the only person outside of MS with a working SD currently. His take:

I'm generally not a McCraken fan, but this quote he pulled out of Panay was the ultimate affirmation for most of us:

"Surface, says Panay, is about “how we can envelope all of Microsoft 365 [known until recently as Office 365] through a piece of hardware, regardless of the platform that it’s on, ultimately getting the chance to make people more productive.”

We've all been saying the same thing lately (in Thurrott fashion, I was first ) - MS doesn't care where you are or whose platform you're on, we just want it to in our cloud (Azure, MS365, and Windows as a service). Although I see the Duo as the physical embodiment of the Courier, in reality it is a demonstration of the best way to serve up MS365 and OneDrive on Android, where tablets have basically been a flop and phones just don't offer quite enough screen real estate...
