- Eridrus 8y agoA Surface Hub is $9K though, so not sure why you're bringing up cost here.
- Eldt 8y agoLook at the comparison they made and you'll understand why...
- DiabloD3 8y agoThe Hub is an actual complete Surface PC. $9k is ridiculous, but it is more than just a whiteboard.
- partiallypro 8y agoThe next generation (that they recently demoed in videos) is expected to be much, much cheaper.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoCan you provide a link or two?
- partiallypro 8y agoVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DbslbKsQSk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DbslbKsQSk Price info: https://wccftech.com/microsoft-surface-hub-2-22000/ https://wccftech.com/microsoft-surface-hub-2-22000/ There is a better article I read about the pricing when it was first announced, but that's the few top results that goes over it.
- endorphone 8y agoBut in that case you don't want more than a white board. There are many cases, especially in the corporate world, where you want a single-purpose device that isn't going to need maintenance, group policies, etc etc.

- zamadatix 8y agoBuying a device without "group policies, etc etc" doesn't mean you don't still need to implement them. Damn I wish our company would stop buying Alexa/Home/Chromecast/Sonos/IoT-box-from-down-the-street.
- ChikkaChiChi 8y agoOne of the best ideas I ever had was getting a completely separate network connection for our guest WiFi. It was trivial to implement, keeps our diagrams and GRC needs simple, and we no longer have to worry when a PHB wants an IOT lightbulb that'll no doubt get hacked in 24 months.
