Summary
Daniel considers Microsoft's September 10 US-only Surface Duo: attractive dual-glass design, but importing it would add roughly $150. At $1,400, he questions its value, doubting multitasking, stylus usefulness, hinge, shape, and older flagship-level specifications. Needing YouTube's desktop blur tool exposes laptop dependence; he considers buying one and regrets leaving two MSI gaming laptops in Japan.
Insight
Novelty attracts him, but practical limitations and device redundancy push him toward restraint and a laptop.
