Microsoft to Hike Surface Hub Prices Ahead of 2016 Release

Microsoft’s Surface Hub video-conferencing systems are going to be pricier (and slightly later) than originally announced. The 55″ Surface Hub will now cost $8,999 (previously $6,999), while the 84″ variant will cost $21,999 ($18,999). The January 1 timeline will also get delayed, as the Surface Hubs are now on track for shipment in Q1 of 2016. Customers who have already pre-ordered will receive the product at the original price.
