Surface Pro looks really cool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/business/surface-hub...
Sometime ago I've read that its success was a surprise and the demand was greater than MS could produce. Is it really good?

The Surface Pro is the tablet (and Surface Book is the laptop and Surface Laptop is the other laptop but it runs Windows S which is like Chrome OS but for Windows, and none of these should be confused with the original Surface touch table from Microsoft Research nor the Surface Studio.)
And yes, the Surface Hub is pretty good. I use it daily. It reduces the 5-10 minutes of wasted time getting Skype to work at the start of each meeting to ~1 minute. My only qualm is the sign in experience isn't as smooth as it should be, but that's the norm at Microsoft it seems.
Apparently it has some very good microphones and software running. Regardless of where a person is in the room, it will adjust the microphone level so you can hear them clearly. The people training mentioned their location has had a couple instances where a little side conversation was broadcast to the other side. They made sure to mention that in every training session.
That's awesome actually. I work with a lot of remote team members and very often people remote miss these little side conversations.
When everyone is in a meeting room, the side conversations are fine and attendees can selective tune out if it's not relevant to them. However when team members are remote these digressions are often missed and they lose the opportunity to participate.
