I used Microsoft’s elusive ‘Surface Neo’ dual-screen Windows PC — its biggest-ever hardware failure

The Surface Neo was unveiled in October 2019 with a planned release for the holiday season of 2020 but was postponed indefinitely in 2021. It features a design that combines metal, glass, and polycarbonate, with two 9-inch LCD displays at a resolution of 1920x1440. The device is 5.6mm thick and supports multiple usage modes, including dual-screen and laptop configurations. It was designed to work with accessories like the Surface Slim Pen and a magnetic keyboard, although the keyboard has smaller keys and shallow key travel. The Surface Neo is powered by an Intel Lakefield chip, which struggles with performance and thermal throttling. The unfinished Windows 10X operating system showcased potential for multitasking but lacked a robust selection of applications. Ultimately, the Surface Neo represents a missed opportunity in the tech landscape.

Things aren’t looking good for gaming handhelds

Anbernic has decided to suspend shipments to the U.S. due to the tariff situation, which may affect the availability of their latest gaming handheld, the RG557. Other companies like AYANEO and OneXSugar have also announced new devices, but it is uncertain if they will be available in the U.S. due to the tariffs. Consumers may have to pay higher prices if they are able to find these devices in the U.S. market.
