It's time to fold up our toolkit and reflect. What did we learn?

Where Samsung and Motorola spent thousands of hours crafting elaborate hinges, external micro-screens, and hold-back-the-flood dust sweepers, the Duo is refined simplicity.

It’s a bold, impressive idea, even if it was a bit of a mess to take apart.

As with prior first-generation Microsoft portables, the thin, premium, category-creating Duo is not something meant to be repaired, maybe not even by Microsoft.

Recent Surface devices have shot up the repairability charts, so we’re hopeful that this is just the first chapter in the Duo story.

Enough talk, let's give this thing a score. We'll give you a hint: it's Duo.
