Microsoft’s giant 84-inch Surface Hub arrives in September

Did you hear the one about the 84-inch tablet? Perhaps the 55-inch screen would be a better fit?

Microsoft will put the super-sized Surface Hubs on order from July 1st, aimed at businesses in 24 markets.

The large tablets are being pitched as a collaborative device, simple to use so people can walk up and use it without having to follow precise instructions.

It’s cloud connected, runs on Windows 10 and has a screen built for both ink and touch. It can detect 100 points of multi-touch, up to three pen inputs simultaneously, and a microphone set up that will eliminate background noises to make video conferencing less painful.

The 55-inch Hub will cost almost €8,000, while the 84-inch version will set you back €22,449. The device will ship in September.
