Microsoft reveals the 'Surface Hub,' an 84-inch 4K all-in-one


Today might be all about the next chapter in Windows, but there's something for the hardware-heads, too. Specifically the Surface Hub -- which joins Surface tablets, and Lumia smartphones on Redmond's roster of gear offerings. This beast is basically a large all-in-one PC (slash smart display) that is fully-loaded with: sensors, speakers, WiFi, NFC, a mic, a camera and more. The funniest thing? This huge device has been hiding in plain sight for the duration of Microsofts keynote today.


While technically it's a regular Windows machine, it's fair to say that this is very much a business/collaboration tool. The most elaborate intelligent whiteboard you can imagine! No doubt, this is fruit from Microsoft's purchase of Perceptive Pixel, and of course, Redmond want's this to be the center of the modern workplace. For example, Hayete Gallot (Senior Director of Business Security), was careful to mention the special large screen apps that will come along with Windows 10 -- perfect for that 84-inch real estate.
