Hexus posted a story that the Surface Hub 55- and 84-inch models will be available for $6,999 and $19,999
The Surface Hub has been three years in development says Microsoft. This new productivity tool is designed for the modern workforce, optimized for a group of people to use together, and will "bring teams together in more efficient and engaging ways". Microsoft has brought some of its core services such as Skype, Office and OneNote and Windows 10 to the big screen and they come to life with the new hardware, touch and inking facilities. This functionality isn't limited to Microsoft apps – an example is given of two teams collaborating remotely via a Surface Hub sharing inkings on CAD diagrams. The device has, in testing, been particularly useful for getting the best from remote meeting attendees.Microsoft announces Surface Hub device availability
As well as its headlining functionality Microsoft believes that the Surface Hub represents "incredible value" for businesses. This all-in-one device replaces the audio-video conferencing system, display, projector, wireless receiver, and the analogue or digital whiteboard "at a lower upfront cost," it says. Microsoft asserts that, just as every modern office desk has a PC, every meeting space should one day have a Surface Hub.
