Surface Neo Launch Postponed; No Dual-Screen Windows 10X Devices This Year: Report

Apr. 9, 2020

While the news may come as a bit of a disappointment to some, the decision is keeping in line with Microsoft’s plans of prioritizing single-screen devices with Windows 10X to compete with Chromebooks in the US education sector. Leaked documents last year suggested that Windows 10X might be available not just on dual-screen and foldable devices, but also on standard clamshell laptops.

It will be interesting to see when Microsoft starts shipping the Surface Neo and the Surface Duo, given that both have been under development for an inordinately long period of time. Of course, with the raging pandemic showing no signs of letting up in the foreseeable future, it’s probably easy to see why launch plans for the former is being pushed back. It won’t be a surprise if Microsoft is forced to cancel its early launch plans for the Surface Duo as well.
