Microsoft is ending production of its Surface Hub 3 collaborative office displays and has canceled plans for a Surface Hub 4, according to Windows Central.
The massive touchscreen displays, which functioned as digital whiteboards with built-in PCs, will no longer be manufactured. The company will continue to sell remaining stock of the Surface Hub 3 through Microsoft and third-party retailers.
Originally announced in 2015, the Surface Hub line featured 50-inch and 85-inch models. These units carried premium price tags of $8,000 and $20,000, respectively.
The end of a modular era
Microsoft previously introduced a modular design for the hardware. This allowed users to swap internal components, such as the motherboard and processor, without replacing the entire screen.
The line was once positioned as the centerpiece for the "office of the future." However, the product struggled to gain mainstream traction as the pandemic accelerated the global shift toward remote and hybrid work environments.
The discontinuation follows a period of turnover within Microsoft's hardware divisions. The Surface Hub line outlasted former Surface leader Panos Panay, who moved to Amazon in 2023.
It also outlasted several other discontinued Microsoft hardware projects, including the Surface Studio all-in-one, the Surface Duo, and Surface-branded headphones.
Despite the production halt, existing users will not face immediate obsolescence. The outlet reported that the Surface Hub 2S and Hub 3 will receive driver and firmware updates until at least 2027.
