This is a brilliant use case that is as good as I thought it would be. This is the purpose of the Duo!

I couldn't agree more with both the video conferencing with note taking and the live conference note taking. Thanks for the tips and information regarding your experience.

Going to watch in full later but hoping you covered using the Duo and a Surface together, the Duo is great in laptop mode with surface pro for notes. I do also take notes on one screen with the video call on another.

I’ve used the Duo a few times when I’ve been running late and had to pull over for a quick call (often with content being shared by the project manager).

WAY faster to whip out the duo than boot up my Surface Pro or MacBook, connect to Wifi, wait for teams to load etc.

Also take my Duo into meetings sometimes and leave my Surface Pro on the desk. Just depends how I’m feeling and how many notes I expect to take.

would love to see some actual usage between the two of you to show how everything works

Thanks guys for all the videos, I'm willing to change my Fold 2 into the Duo 2...I love the Duo's form factor...

Thanks. When turning the DUO in laptop mode doesn't that move the camera to the side like the IPad Pro? How do you combat that if you need to be on camera? Thanks. Great videos!

This is why I really wish the Neo came out. I'd love to use the Duo like this and all its other functions, but it's a bit small for my taste and it just makes more sense to have it on the NEO, then it can have a more flush design and ppl wouldn't be bothered by the camera bump.

OMGosh I love this phone but OH so want the camera to be at least "Top 5"...so much...and yes, my other device is the top of the line Surface Laptop Studio...hanging on to my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra...And I so get the handwriting memory thing...

Do you have to use the Team app for this to work? I thought I might be doing something wrong because I cant get it to work on Zoom.

While listening to all the advantages of the Surface Duo 2, I can’t wait to see how the Surface Neo is going to hold up.
BTW, has anyone hear some new information to when it is going to be available?

This will be great on a bigger, laptop sized) windows version of this concept.
