According to Windows Central, Microsoft is reportedly ceasing production of its Surface Hub 3, a large-scale collaborative office display, and shelving plans for a Surface Hub 4. This extensive digital whiteboard, which incorporated its own integrated PC, was first introduced in 2015 in anticipation of Windows 10’s release. Available in two sizes—50 inches and 85 inches—it was priced at $8,000 and $20,000, respectively. This device has survived beyond the tenure of former Surface head Panos Panay, who transitioned to Amazon in 2023, and outlived other discontinued Surface products like the Surface Studio, Surface Duo, and Surface headphones.
Throughout its decade-long run, Microsoft occasionally refreshed the Surface Hub line, introducing features such as a modular design that allowed users to upgrade internal components like the processor and motherboard without replacing the entire unit. Although envisioned as the cornerstone of tomorrow’s workplace by Microsoft, the Surface Hub’s hefty price tag hindered widespread adoption, especially as the pandemic accelerated the shift towards remote and hybrid work environments.
As reported by Windows Central, Microsoft and its retail partners will continue to sell remaining Surface Hub 3 units. Support for the Surface Hub 2S and Hub 3, including driver and firmware updates, is expected to continue until at least 2027.
