It was an open secret, and now it's a reality. Panos Panay has unveiled the rumored dual-screen device, a machine that inaugurates a new category capable of adapting to two different form factors. This is the new Surface Neo.

Small, portable and with double screen. This is the new Surface Neo, a tiny laptop that hides cutting-edge technology to offer you the best of Windows in a small double-screen computer. The best thing is that it has a keyboard as an accessory that will be magnetically placed on one of the screens to perform laptop functions, either with a touchpad at the bottom, or with a secondary screen with shortcuts when we place the keyboard on the bottom. bottom. You'd better watch the video to understand the concept.

The device has a custom designed Intel processor, also having 11th generation graphics that will control the entire dual interface of the system. If you expected to know more technical details, we regret to tell you that there is not much more, so you will have to settle for appreciating the details of the hinge and the game of screen changes with the magnetic keyboard.

Microsoft does not trust folding screens
The solution proposed by Microsoft is to use two screens joined by a highly resistant hinge that creates a not too large bezel, so it could not bother too much when working. The solution is of course the most feasible option and the one that promises the longest duration, since from what we have seen, it seems that folding screens have enough left to gain the trust of users.
This combination of two screens will improve user productivity, since we can manage several applications at the same time by controlling their position on the screen. This is possible thanks to the new Windows 10X, a new version of the operating system designed to make the most of this combination of screens.

On one hand, we'll have an application launcher from which we can open the apps we're interested in, a menu that replaces the classic and unmistakable Windows Start menu, and which aims to offer an interface closer to that of a tablet or mobile device. This is the new interface proposed by Windows 10X , a version of the operating system that will bring this type of form factor to life, since, in addition to the Surface Neo, Microsoft assures us that other manufacturers such as ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are already working on similar solutions.
