Microsoft has announced two Surface Hub products. They are gigantic touchscreen all-in-one computers intended for meeting rooms and other business purposes. The 84-inch model will cost $20,000, while the smaller 55-inch model will cost $7,000.

The specifications: The 55" Hub weighs 105 lbs, has a 1920×1080 resolution, and uses an Intel Core i5 Haswell CPU with integrated graphics. The 84" Hub weighs 280 lbs, has a 3840×2160 resolution, and uses an Intel Core i7 Haswell CPU alongside an NVIDIA Quadro K2200 GPU. Both models have a refresh rate of 120 Hz, 8 GB of RAM, a 128 GB SSD, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, 2 front-facing 1080p cameras, and various sensors.

Microsoft will take orders for Surface Hub beginning July 1st, and shipments will begin in September. It will initially be available to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. The products will be manufactured in the U.S., most likely due to exorbitant shipping costs.

Microsoft has a product page with all the details.

    Just wait until the screen just goes BSOD or BWOF on you and require an reinstallation on that computer in a really hard to reach place while people wait for your presentation.. Gah!

    And they also want your keyboard to have a special dedicated Cortana key to boot..

    When you pay that much for a computing device I believe the official acronym is BWTF.
