The Surface Neo also supports a new hardware keyboard accessory. When the keyboard is placed on one of the display, the device recognizes it and allows you to start using it as an input device.

The Surface Neo also supports Surface Pen and the pen can be attached magnetically to the device. When attached, the Surface Pen will be charging automatically.

Inside Surface Neo, there is a Intel Lakefield processor that is designed specifically for dual-screen devices like this. Microsoft claims that the new Surface Neo is not another device, it is the next category.
