Microsoft’s Surface Neo device could be delayed until 2022<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s Windows 10X operating system, originally planned for dual-screen devices, might not appear until 2021. The software giant revealed earlier this year that Windows 10X is being reworked for single-screen devices<\/a>, rather than hardware like the Surface Neo. These changes mean Microsoft won’t be releasing Windows 10X like it had planned to do so later this year.<\/p>\n

ZDNet <\/em>reports<\/a> that single-screen devices running Windows 10X, designed for education and business use, are expected to arrive in spring 2021. A year later, Microsoft is rumored to be launching dual-screen hardware running Windows 10X. If accurate, this is a significant delay to Microsoft’s original launch plans.<\/p>\n

Microsoft cited the coronavirus pandemic as part of the reason for its change to Windows 10X. “The world is a very different place than it was last October when we shared our vision for a new category of dual-screen Windows devices,” said Surface and Windows chief Panos Panay back in May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has been reworking a lot of its products to better cater for remote working and more essential devices like PCs and laptops after the company saw a spike in Microsoft Teams and Windows 10 usage.<\/p>\n
