What you need to know
I wouldn’t blame you if you missed Microsoft announcing the Surface Hub 3 this week. Not only did the company not live stream its Surface and AI event, the new business-focused Surface Hub 3 never appeared on stage. Instead, Microsoft snuck out the announcement of the Surface Hub 3 in aTech Community postand through a YouTube video. The tech giant took a similar approach with theSurface Go 4, which is also aimed at business users rather than general consumers.
The Surface Hub 3 will be available in two models, a 50-inch model that can rotate into portrait mode and a massive 85-inch model. The 50-inch model works with wall mounts and can also be wheeled around. It even supports an APC Charge Mobile Battery that can last up to two hours.
The Surface Hub 3 runs Microsoft Teams on Windows, which promises a “consistent experience across all meeting spaces,” according to the company. The experience is designed to transition seamlessly between rooms. As you’d expect from a newly announced Microsoft product, the Surface Hub 3 will also support AI tools through Copilot.
Microsoft highlighted the capabilities of the Surface Hub 3:
There are a few options to get the latest Surface Hub experience. If you purchase a new Surface Hub 3, it will ship with the Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows experience, including smart rotation on the 50-inch model. You can also get the experience by upgrading a Surface Hub 3 Pack and placing it in a Surface Hub 2S. Microsoft is also working on a software migration path for Surface Hub 2S device to get the new Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows as well, but it won’t ship until some point in the future.
Windows 10 Team Edition will continue to be supported until October 2025.
Microsoft did not share pricing for the Surface Hub 3, but it’s a business-oriented device, so you should expect a high price tag. The Surface Hub 2S had a starting price of about $9,000 when it started shipping.
