At first glance, the Surface Neo may look like two iPads stitched together. That’s what it looks like on on the outside. In reality, it’s a little more complicated than that.

The Surface Neo runs on the new Windows 10X, which is designed around the concept of having two screens. In the sizzle reel and the demos they showed off, it looked like a slick touch-first OS, and they touted it as having the full power of Windows. (Read: It has Office on it) The gestures looked intuitive, allowing apps to span two screens and work in many different modes, which Microsoft branded as postures. You can open it like a book and have two portrait screens side by side. You can open it like a laptop and have one horizontal and one vertical. You can prop is up, twist it around, flip it however you like, and the screens will adapt to the orientation. Very cool stuff.

They also showed off some accessories for the Neo, a magnetically attached pencil and keyboard. The way the keyboard attaches and flips around from the back, becoming more like a “real” laptop is certainly innovative. When the keyboard is laid on the screen, the area of the screen above the keyboard adapts and acts as either a trackpad or what they dubbed the Wunderbar. Think of the Wunderbar as sort of an Apple TouchBar on steroids. They showed it as a way to insert emojis, a place to stuff a picture-in-picture video stream, but it’s easy to imagine all kinds of possibilities with having a screen above a keyboard on a horizontal surface. Just ask Asus.

The potential of the Surface Duo will come down to what Microsoft and developers end up doing with it, so it makes sense they wanted to unveil it early. When something new comes along, it takes time to learn if it’s a good idea or not, if the innovation ends up being useful in the real world or only in a series of staged demos. Only time will tell.

With the Neo wrapped up, Panos pulled another fake out ending and came back with the Surface Duo as a second encore. The Duo is like the Neo, only smaller. While the duo is the size of two iPads glued together, the Neo is more the size of a Moleskin notebook, or a wide smartphone. Don’t call it a phone though, but it does run on a smartphone CPU (Snapdragon 855), and Android for it’s operating system.
