Microsoft Discontinues Surface Hub as Production Ends and Hub 4 Is Canceled

The move signals a tighter focus on core Surface PCs.

Overview

  • Microsoft has stopped making the Surface Hub 3 and canceled a planned Hub 4, effectively ending the large touchscreen meeting-room line, according to multiple reports.
  • Microsoft and resellers will sell through remaining Surface Hub 3 inventory, after which no new units will be available.
  • Support timelines differ across reports, with Windows Central and MobileSyrup saying OS and firmware updates run through 2030, while The Verge cites driver and firmware support at least through 2027.
  • The Surface Hub targeted enterprise meeting spaces as a digital whiteboard with a built-in PC, launching in 50- and 85-inch models that The Verge reports were priced around $8,000 and $20,000.
  • The decision fits a broader pullback from niche Surface hardware as Microsoft concentrates on Surface Pro tablets and Surface Laptop models after limited demand for costly in-room collaboration boards.
