Microsoft Delays Surface Neo Launch to 2021, if not Later

[btarunr]

Microsoft has reportedly delayed launch of its Surface Neo launch. The dual-screen foldable PC/tablet convertible was originally slated for Holiday 2020 at its October 2019 announcement, but the company feels it's not ready with it. It could now launch at an appropriate date, either in 2021 or later. Microsoft's ambitious new Windows 10X operating system, originally designed for dual-screen devices such as the Surface Neo, will now debut with single-screen devices that have a touchscreen (such as 2-in-1 notebooks in conventional 360° clamshell form-factors), confirmed Panos Panay, Windows client- and devices head, in a blog post dated Monday (4/5). From the looks of it, the company is focused on getting Windows 10 May 2020 Update (2004) out as smoothly as possible.

"Shutters".... Had a SP2 and it sucked so hard. Guessing that's why they are delaying this one? Hopefully the newer models are better however haven't gotten my hands on one since.

I was looking to picking this up this year. I love my Surface Pro 7 and if the there is a data plan I figured this would be a good compliment/replacement for my note8, depending on the size when closed. If spec wise it is still powerful enough next year I will still pick it up. If the Galaxy Fold 2 is announced this year at a more reasonable price (not 2 grand) I will pick that up instead.
