#3That looks quite inconvenient. I think it'd have been better if the screen could be unhinged, and only held together by a cable. That way, I and someone across the table could follow something on the same computer, but on a different screen. In fact, if I could attach as many screens as I wanted, that'd be pretty cool...

#4> So while a regular PC will boot up and immediately run all of the services necessary to run a Win32 application, for example, Windows 10X won’t load this subsystem until it’s needed. This, the company argues, allows it to be very efficient with the resources available on the machine and extend its battery life significantly.
Hopefully they won't decide it is never needed.

So you want two devices that communicate via a network? Or one device with muitiple monitors? Which are both already possible...

They have already tried this one. It didn't end well.

#7I don’t understand the appeal but if there’s a market for it, it must be somewhere I never thought to look.

#8The dual screens look like a marketing gimmick in search of an actual use...

Good point, but I do concur with you that the 10 X developer legend has always been fortold through out the years and it is now a 'reality' thanks to Microsoft:

#10Meanwhile, I'm still dealing with random scaling bugs from connecting external monitors with lower pixel density to my high pixel density Surface Pro devices. Only thing that really "fixes" it is setting a custom scaling factor of 100% and reducing the Surface's resolution to make it still readable. (Then I end up with black bars along the edges, as the lower resolution options aren't the same 3:2 aspect ratio as the native resolution...)
This has been a many-years struggle and I wish Windows would get this right first. Never had the same kind of problems with macOS.
