Microsoft Support Phone numberSurface Neo and Duo: Two risky moonshots A reflective cold-take on these two foldables
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the
stars,” or so the saying goes. With Microsoft’s Surface Neo and Duo, the
firm certainly aimed high. These two devices represent the future of where Microsoft
Support Phone numberthinks computing is going, a future it has been slowly
creeping towards ever since it debuted the first Surface. Some of the most exciting
thing about moonshots is just how dangerous they are. A little tweak here
or there, and you end up space debris, floating forgotten in the void.
To begin with, Neo and Duo differ from typical foldables in that
they aren’t one piece of flexible display and ergo susceptible to breakage
and cracking — well not any more so
than any normal devices. They are two distinct screens with the interaction
between both screens being handled entirely by software. Think of it as a
somewhat permanent dual-monitor set-up. As far as differences between them, the
Neo runs Windows and the Duo runs Android and
that’s about it. A lot of it has been spilt about how beautiful these devices
are. Without any personal experience of these two but with experience of
Surface in general, I’ll have to agree that Microsoft Support Phone numberdoes
make beautiful hardware products, and these don’t look to be any different.
Neo and Duo face the advantage and disadvantage of the unknown.
They carry a huge weight on their shoulders. They are the first of a new breed
of foldable devices from Microsoft. Their path to success is something that’s a
bit complicated. Microsoft Support Phone numberfans would tell you that Neo, Duo, et all are
Microsoft’s future, that they’; push it as hard as thy’ like. Yet, Microsoft
Support Phone numberis a business, they aren’t fools, nor are they besotted fanboys.
If an idea does not take off in the market, they will not hesitate to chop it
off and discard it. That is what these two represent, a moonshot.
If these foldables fail in the short term, Microsoft Support
Phone numberwill be shelving them and going back to the drawing board as it
often does when ambitious projects fail to resonate.

For both of them, and Duo especially, Microsoft Support Phone
numberalso faces external pressures. Foldable, dual-screen devices have been
pushed as the next big thing by the tech press, and that puts them in a good
light. Yet, with devices from Samsung, Huawei, Xioami coming out,
developers and customers would already have had a taste of foldables by the
time Microsoft’s products hits the market. If the market rejects these, Microsoft
Support Phone numberwould have to work harder to show why its product is
distinct and better than these already rejected ones. If the market accepts
rival products like the Galaxy Fold and other rivals, then Microsoft Support
Phone numberloses the first-mover advantage and would inevitably get compared
with their more successful peers rather than being the one to set the stage.
With Windows 10 X and Surface Neo, Microsoft’s Developer Story
is simple and complex at the same time. The firm has tried to move developers
over to its Universal Windows Platform and has been soundly rejected. Now, it
wants to bring the Universal Windows Platform to developers, all apps are
Windows apps and can use UWP APIs if they so choose. However, Microsoft Support
Phone numberstill needs developers to adopt new APIs and change their apps
meaningfully for the dual displays of the Surface Neo to not just work but to
work meaningfully. Microsoft Support Phone numberneeds Neo to be more than two
screens glued together, and whether or not that succeeds depends on developers.
But, and this applies to Duo as well, developers are stubborn. If it’s not iOS
or the Web, they aren’t there for it.
