While this may be more of a productivity tool, it looks cool. Will Surface Duo be good for gaming?
Definitely seems like a decent XCloud device at a minimum
At that price, I may never know. 
It’ll be great for gaming I feel, they’ve shown examples of one half being used as a controller, and while not ideal, I feel that would be a lot better than touch controls appearing over the actual game (as it’s currently done in Hellblade). The screens seem a decent size for gaming too and when hooked up to a Xbox controller, just using half of the device as a stand will be great.
The biggest issue is the price, no way I’m getting involved in $1400.
The price concerns me. For sure.
even if it’s clunky stuff like a “DS” mode and a “tabletop “ mode is gonna be pretty good for spur of the moment xcloud sessions . Now i just need microsoft to make a controller I’d actually wanna lug around in my bag/purse. Probably interested in a Duo or some other foldable/dual screen product once the market has matured .
Do you think touch controls would work for you? I’m not sure I’m ready for that type of interface.
If it had 5G I’d say; 100%
Now I’m not sure if this would be the perfect xCloud device. That would be a device that is compatible with the Razer Kishi with 5G for me.

for smaller bursts of gaming I could probably get used to it especially if they are context sensitive , id prefer to play in a “tabletop” mode if i could but doubt i will be carrying around a full blown xbox controller with me any time soon .
Yes, it will be fine.
I am getting the Duo (once ATT gets their shit together and let me preorder) and it will be my xcloud device 
And that’s the “low end” 156 GB model. 256 GB will cost you $1,499.
of course, you need that extra space for the 3ds roms xD

When I first saw this, I thought of the never released Microsoft Courier. That thing was sweet. Could this be it or close to it?
It’s a pretty cool device but I think I’m more interested in a Galaxy Fold 2. I love these new designs and tech ideas phones are trying now tho. It’s been stagnant for a while. lol
I’ll maybe look at getting the V2 of this, they need ot trim the bezels just a bit which to me screams V2 improvments.
