Microsoft marketing director Greg Sullivan told us that the graphics processing is not intended for intense 3D gaming, but works well for video conferencing, screen sharing, and video streaming, which is what the device is intended for. Powered by fourth-generation Intel Core processors (Core i5 for the 55-inch and Core i7 for the 84-inch), the 55-inch model uses Intel HD Graphics 4600, and the 84-inch has an Nvidia Quadro K2200 graphics card. Wireless connectivity includes 802.11ac/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and Miracast support. Save for a single USB 3.0 port, on the right edge for easier access, all of the ports, including one USB 3.0, USB 2.0 (four in the 84-inch version, two in the 55-inch version), Ethernet 1000 Base-T, DisplayPort, a 3.5mm stereo out jack, and an RJ-11 connector, are located beneath the screen for neat cable management. Along the right edge are the Power, Brightness, Source, and Volume controls. At the left and and right edges of the screen you'll find the cameras and sensors. The Hub is built into an all-metal charcoal-gray frame that surrounds a matte screen.
In the box, you'll find the Surface Hub itself, two Surface Hub pens, a power cable, a setup guide, a start guide, safety and warranty documents, and a Wireless All-in-One Keyboard. This review is based on the 55-inch model we tested onsite in the PC Labs, and on an in-depth hands-on with the 84-inch Surface Hub at Microsoft. The Surface Hub comes in two sizes and resolutions. There's no disputing that the Surface Hub is a truly impressive piece of technology, but since it's a first-generation product, there are still a few kinks to iron out. The Surface Hub represents endless collaboration possibilities, and there's currently no other single product that can manage all that it does. Businesses can use the Hub to conduct interactive brainstorm sessions with remote employees via Skype, demonstrate and make notes on large format visual data like graphs and charts, analyze 360-degree representations of images and objects (such as machine parts or organs), and project content from smaller devices onto a larger screen to share with a group. Senior Product Marketing Manager, Tim Bakke, told us that Microsoft had three focuses in mind when designing the Surface Hub: talking, drawing, and sharing content.
