Microsoft Surface Hub 2S announced in India

Microsoft today announced the availability of Surface Hub 2S in India. This is the all-in-one digital whiteboard, meeting platform, and teamwork collaborative computing device for the modern workplace. Surface Hub 2S is priced at INR 11,89,999, which includes a Surface Hub 2 Camera and a Surface Hub 2 Pen, and will be available via authorised Hub resellers. The Steelcase Roam mobile stand priced at INR 1,17,500 is also available via these authorised Hub resellers.

The new Surface Hub 2S is the all-in-one collaboration device that lets teams break free from the conference room and turn any space into a teamwork space. In partnership with Steelcase, the Steelcase Roam™, a mobile stand and easy-to-hang wall mounting system, was designed to allow people to use the Surface Hub 2S to collaborate in planned sessions or spontaneously.

As an elegant, portable, and interactive device, Surface Hub 2S harnesses the full power of Microsoft – Windows 10, Microsoft Teams, Office 365, Microsoft Whiteboard, and the intelligent cloud – to unlock productivity the vibrant 4K+ 50-inch multi-touch display offers an inviting canvas to co-create with the best pen and touch experience, and the highest resolution compared to any device in its class. It is 40 percent lighter, and offers 50 percent faster graphics performance than the original Surface Hub. 

Active Teamwork Anywhere

Surface Hub 2S fits easily into any space – from a traditional conference room to a compact huddle space. The device gives teams the flexibility to come together wherever they work best. It takes something that has long been a fixture in the conference room – the shared screen – and transforms it into a mobile computer, built for teams. Surface Hub 2S also features the thinnest edge and smallest bezels in its class, integrating seamlessly into any office environment. In fact, its display is 60 percent thinner than its predecessor.

To ensure flexible usage in any space, Microsoft worked with Steelcase to design Steelcase Roam, a mobile stand and easy-to-hang wall mounting system, that allow people to use the Surface Hub 2S to collaborate in planned sessions or spontaneously. The mobile stand can be moved easily with one hand, and its small footprint fits in all kinds of spaces. The wall mounting system is the perfect solution for private offices or smaller spaces, encouraging standing and active postures. 

Stay in the Flow with Cloud-Enabled Microsoft Services

Too often, great ideas are only inked on the conference room whiteboard and the creative flow gets broken when the meeting ends. Surface Hub 2S enables teams to work digitally all the way through their creative process, with access to the tools they rely on. Users can easily sign into Office 365[1]to access and interact with the content, run must-have Microsoft and business applications natively, and interact naturally with Surface Hub 2 Pen and touch. 

In addition, Microsoft Whiteboard allows people to collaborate on a shared digital canvas from almost any device so it’s easy to pick up where they left off, keeping teams in their flow. With built-in artificial intelligence feature, users can better express their ideas in less time as it supports ink to shape and text, supported by an infinite cloud-based, virtual canvas. Users can also resume their brainstorm seamlessly with this feature.
