Despite having started my journey in this industry covering phones, I’m just not interested in them anymore.
I’m just bored with phones now.
Two screens gives so many more possibilities than a single one.
That’s why I use an iPhone.
Because it’s boring and just does the phone things I want.
However, I have now, finally, actually tried the Surface Duo.
Two screens gives so many more possibilities than a single one.
It’s the first-gen model, so not the latest and greatest, but that’s absolutely fine.
I only care about horsepower on my PC.
I’ve been playing with one for just over a week now, and I’m already convinced.
The Kindle app is a perfect use case for the Surface Duo.
Not that it could be my phone, my only unit.
But the Surface Duo has completely consumed me as a replacement for a tablet.
And now I want the Surface Neo to become a real thing again.
Lenovo is already established with folding Windows PCs.
I’ll use them for a while and then just get bored.
But the Surface Duo has two screens.
And with that comes so many possibilities.
It’s like using two big-screen phones at once.
So using more than one app doesn’t ever feel like I’m being distracted.
It’s been really awesome for watching media content, too.
It’s just nice.
Those things drive me crazy.
But the Surface Duo fits in any pocket on any of my clothing.
It hasn’t been beaten once.
I can’t say the same for an iPad Mini or myKindle.
That’s the other gear that has been replaced by the Duo.
I never enjoyed reading on an iPad.
So I bought a Kindle.
And you’ve got the option to hold it like a real book.
But it’s not just a fancy e-reader.
I guess I really did just need to bite the bullet and try it for myself to see that.
I still think that I would personally prefer to have two separate displays over a single folding one.
Especially if theSurface Duo 3is going to go down this path.
Lenovo is already well into it, even now experimenting with rollable displays for its laptops.
I guess using the Surface Duo finally has been a transformative experience.
