on the Surface Hub First released in 2015, it saw three generations launched However high price point and rise in hybrid working led to lukewarm response Microsoft has reportedly finally pulled the plug on the Surface Hub - its super-sized touchscreen PC.

Following the launch of three separate generations of the hardware, reports from Windows Central now claim the company has no plans to work on a Surface Hub 4, with the project apparently now done for good. The site quotes sources familiar with the matter in saying Microsoft has scrapped work on a future launch, but also ended production of the latest generation Surface Hub 3.

The Surface Hub 3 , released in 2023, was available in 50- and 85-inch sizes, starting at $8,000 for the smaller model and $20,000 for the larger model, so was firmly in the "premium" end of the market, and out of reach for smaller businesses.

Windows Central claims that Microsoft and third-party retailers still have stock available to sell, but these will be the final items on offer - so if you want to get your hands on one for a possibly lower price, you'll need to be quick.

Microsoft recently confirmed the Surface Hub 3 will remain supported with OS and firmware updates until the end of 2030, so the devices won't become unusable anytime soon. Are you a pro?

The device also sports a modular design, meaning users could upgrade its internal components for extra performance without removing the entire
display.

The news is the latest blow to Microsoft's hardware aims, after the company revealed it would be forced to raise the prices of its Surface Laptop and Surface Book devices due to the worldwide components shortage.
