My favorite supermarket carries great golden kiwi and has carried it year-round for like 10 years now. Credit where credit is due.

Leave it to r/gadgets to make literally any comment section a pro-Apple one.

Reply to comment by Timequake-Droid in RIP Surface Duo—Microsoft reportedly gives up on the weird form factor - But Microsoft is still "all-in" with Android, plans a Galaxy Fold-style device. by speckz
>Microsoft has the duo, the zune, surface pro x, the neo, basically every arm-based mobile product I've ever made has been abandoned, The windows phone.... The surface book appears to be dead. Continuum..
This is a dishonest way to put it for the bolded products, though.
- The Duo, as the article mentions, will simply not continue with two separate screens and instead will have one foldable screen. That's like saying they "abandoned" the Xbox because they released a successor product. They are iterating and changing the product, and we'll see if the name sticks or not.
- The Surface Pro X was just an ARM-based Surface Pro with an SQ 1 or SQ 2 chip, as it was refreshed in late 2020. It was not abandoned because the last ARM-based Surface Pro to come out came out two months ago, it's just in the same body as the x86 Surface Pro products now. You can get a Surface Pro 9 with the SQ3. The 9 simply merged the X and the regular x86 lines.
- The Neo never came out (and I'm guessing it won't).
- The Surface Book was superseded by the Surface Laptop Studio, which means that, similarly to the Pro X, the concept/product category changed/evolved with the successor, not that it was abandoned.

I really, really like StarCraft II, in fact it might be my favorite game ever. For all of Blizzard's misgivings, that is one thing I cannot and will not take away from them.
My point being, what does that have to do with the article?
