But when it comes to the Duo, they don't have that problem. I understand why the Surface tablets and laptops are priced the way they are, because they don't want to undercut their business partners and other OEMs and be the only game in town, so Surface devices are basically for people that want a Microsoft branded device. I know practically giving it away seems nuts, but Microsoft has the money and ability to play the long game just like they did when they first entered into the world of gaming systems. I can't tell you how many people have stopped me and asked me about my Duo when they see me using it, and there is real interest, but the marketing is awful for it.
#Give me the duo app software
If they can sell the xbox as a hardware to get people really onto their software (game pass), why not do something similar with the Duo? I'm not the type of person that thinks Microsoft should just give me everything without paying something for it, but when you're coming into the game from behind, wouldn't you want to do everything in your power to get this thing into peoples' hands? Why not sell it at loss for $1000, include this charging case and pen for maybe $1100 total and while they're at it, throw in a free 6 month sub to Game Pass and Microsoft 365 to get people into it. They signed NFL deals for Surface tablets and so on, but the Duo doesn't seem to be getting that big push. Stay tuned.Ĭan I ask an honest question? As a day one owner of the Surface Duo as my daily driver, why isn't Microsoft pushing this product more? Back in the days of Windows Phone, I couldn't tell you how many tv shows and movies I watched where it pop up. We'll have more on Surface Duo 2, Slim Pen 2, and this new Pen Cover closer to release in our forthcoming review. It should be noted you won't need the cover for the pen to stick to the Surface Duo 2, only to stick and recharge while offering more protection. The pen sticks very firmly to the cover, making it likely to survive being put into your pockets, which is ideal. When installed, it made Surface Duo 2 feel more substantial and easier to handle while also blending in nicely with the device's curves. It has a textured feel and seems more resistant to fingerprints (making it ideal for the Obsidian Surface Duo 2). In our brief time with the Surface Duo 2 Pen Cover, we were impressed with it.

However, we have heard Surface Duo 2 may get an update to enable the haptics, although Microsoft has not publicly confirmed that information.

That has been confirmed to work with Surface Pro 8 and the new Surface Laptop Studio so far. Surface Slim Pen 2 also brings haptic feedback to simulate writing on paper. Microsoft could also release other colors later to help give a more custom feel to Surface Duo 2. Surface Slim Pen 2 is not included with the cover either, so that users can buy it for extra protection.
