The video features designers, developers, and members of the PicsArt team discussing how the Surface Neo provides a unique experience for PicsArt. Peter Butler, PicsArt's director of product management and platform says that "adapting the PicsArt app from single to dual-screen is a lot easier than [they] thought."

Lilit Batikyan, PicsArt's product manager states that the "Surface Neo is a game-changer."

Microsoft partnered with PicsArt on the Surface Neo and Adobe with the Surface Duo to build up the dual-screen experience on the upcoming Surface devices. The Surface Neo and Surface Duo represent new form factors. Rather than creating a folding device with a single folding display, Microsoft created the Surface Neo and Surface Duo to promote and improve multitasking using two screens side by side.
