Surface Hub, after several delays Microsoft starts shipments

Officially Microsoft start shipments of Surface Hub, the device which can be briefly described as a "mega tablet" based on the Windows 10 operating system and for corporate users. A condition of ending the long wait of the users interested in buying the product. Microsoft has confirmed the news with a recent post on the official site that reports the testimony of the first companies that have begun to use Surface Hub.


Surface Hub was initially announced early last year, pre-orders had started in the month of July, with an estimated date of order delivery scheduled for September Microsoft, had later informed that, due to high demand , deliveries had been postponed to January 2016. last December, however, the product to the market approach procedure, not only was characterized by a new delay, but not the price of two models amounted to $ 2,000 each ( $ 8,999 for the version with 55 "screen, and $ 21,900 for those with 84" screen).

The delay with which Microsoft has taken steps to initiate shipments has certainly not helped to keep the current hardware that equips the device, currently based on Intel Core processors fourth generation, based on Haswell architecture. It is, beyond all, of machinery for corporate users interested in renewing the meeting rooms with a device that offers the best of Windows 10, supporting input via stylus and touch screen, ability to use universal app Windows 10 and to take advantage of the integration with Skype for Business services.

Microsoft demonstrates a consistent series of apps that can be profitably used by the user company with the Surface Hub app ranging from visualization of 3D models and CAD files, to activities that facilitate brainstorming and interaction among members of the working group. Among many examples, Microsoft specifically mentions: Buzz Radar; FluidMath; Mediator by Interknowlogy; MURAL; Power BI; Sensavis The 3D Classroom; Portal Mindmap by HeadCandy; Stormboard for Surface Hub; TechSmith Loop; SharpCloud; tuServ by Black Marble; Virbeya; and XOS Thundercloud.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...
