Microsoft's 360-degree hinge is practically perfect - it's silent and small, smooth, and subtle - and can prop the two displays open at basically any angle. And to Microsoft's credit, the hardware is incredible, so the software has a lot to live up to.Īfter spending two weeks with the Surface Duo, I can easily say that this is the best hinge in the game. It's important to say that up front, because when a company introduces a new form factor, it has to make sure the software experiences showcase the hardware in the best light.
