Four years after Microsoft gave up entirely

only this is trying to be a different kind of thing,

an entirely new kind of thing, not just a phone or a tablet.

That is a big idea with a very big price tag,

which means that this is the big time Microsoft.

The big idea is that Microsoft knows a thing or two

about how people use computers to be productive.

They've got that whole Office and Outlook and Windows thing,

is that the way we use our phones to be productive

The thing that makes you productive at your desktop

I mean the moveable boxes your apps go in,

You can cross reference stuff and you can drag stuff

something like that productivity system for phones

that sense of productivity through multitasking

It's not a tablet, it's two phone apps side by side.

like you might get on other phones or tablets,

the idea of side-by-side apps is built into this thing

I'm not gonna say that Microsoft nailed it

Let's talk about the choices that Microsoft made

Make it thin, aggressively obsessively thin.

It's around 10 millimeters when it's closed.

And it is less than five millimeters thick when it's open.

Compare that to the chonk that is the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

but still thin matters because it makes the Surface Duo

pocketable, light and something that's just a joy

Also, there's nothing on the outside when it's closed.

No camera, no screen, no little baby status screen, nothing.

That's not how we play this game, but whatever.

Now, I admit I'm not really that annoyed by them.

Can I just say that the Surface team at Microsoft

It's firm throughout the full 360 degrees of motion,

and the gap between the two screens is there,

I mean, it's too gigantic to have one app

span across both screens without being dumb,

but that's not really what the Surface Duo is for.

Not so good thing, actually, terrible thing,

Everything is muddy and lifeless and just bad bad bad.

You should only use this camera for video conferencing,

'cause you could set the Duo up right here
