The x64 emulation will only be good if it's performant. Also it's not a guarantee that all x64 apps will run.

I hope Microsoft starts designing their own silicon, like Apple.

The fact that Rubino gave it 3/5 shows some progress for him. He's not just fanboying and giving inflated scores. He's in line with mainstream reviewers which means when Duo 2 comes and if it's really a 8.5/10 and Rubino says so, that's golden.

Wow, reviews are brutal. The Verge gave it 6.0/10 and called the camera 'trash'. I hope Panos doesn't take it too personal and takes it as a challenge to improve this for next year.

Intel has to be very worried. First Surface Pro X, now Surface Duo.

It looks like they nailed the industrial design, the hinge and the software on round one. Next year they should seriously up the specs + NFC.

Microsoft is skipping Thunberbolt 3 and going straight to USB 4 in 2020.

Seems time to create one.

Paul Thurott actually was effusive in his praise for this thing. No negative snarky comments. That means Surface team really hit it out of the park!

I've been searching the forums but I can't find any threads on the topic. How are peoples' experiences with Surface Book 2, Lapotp and Pro(2017)? Paul Thurott indicated he got 11.5 hours with SB2.

Honestly I had hoped they would come out with this in the October 2015 event. Better late than never. Still disappointed in no USB-C port.

Get a Macbook(the regular one with 1 Type C port) + iPad Pro(9.7"). You can use the Macbook for typing up lectures in MS Office and the iPad Pro for giving lectures. The great things is Office is on everything.

Time to switch to Mac.

If SB & SP continue to have such horrible reliability issues, MS will need a fire sale to get rid of the inventory. Hot bag and BSOD a regular occurrence according to Paul Thurott.

Should Microsoft even bother releasing new Surfaces when it seems most of the existing ones are plagued with problems? It seems everyone on this forum has huge problems with their SP4/SB. If you listen to Paul Thurott or Brad Sams, their Surface Books are basically lemons. They put up with it...

Will you be getting the new Macbook Pro?

Wow, can you imagine those students. Now they think MS hardware is garbage and will never buy it.

I hope they get faster SSD and at least 1 Thunderbolt 3 port.

Well it speaks volumes that you keep hearing over and over about the shitty phone support MS has. My one time I had to call Apple phone support about an issue I got an American and my issue was resolved very quickly. MS is going to regret outsourcing important stuff to India.

If that's so, then why was MS in such a RUSH to get that firmware update, "out of band" to Surface owners?
