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.
 
I think this is a wise decision. Better to delay a product if it's not ready.

    They probably are finding that dual screens have limited uses and it's just not fun to try to use a touch screen as a keyboard for traditional typing since it lacks the feel of the keys under the fingers.

    so, it is just a big tablet & 2 smaller screens are much cheaper & better portability ?
     
    You know there must be significant issues if MS has delayed the launch

    Exactly. Touch screens are not great for productivity. Give me a mouse and a keyboard and I can blaze though things.
