Microsoft's 84-inch Surface Hub won't ship until 2016

If you've been waiting to get your hands on Microsoft's 84-inch 4K collaborative pen display, you're going to have to wait just a little longer: the company says the $20,000 Surface Hub won't ship until January 1st, 2016. By the time it reaches customers, it will have almost been a year since it was originally announced.

A little lost? Let me catch you up: the Surface Hub was a surprise announcement at Microsoft's Windows 10 event in January -- a TV-sized tablet designed as an advanced, collaborative teleconference system for enterprise customers. It comes in two flavors: the above mentioned $20,000 84-inch unit with a 4K display and NVIDIA Quadro K2200 graphics and a cheaper $7,000 model with a 55-inch HD screen and an Intel HD GPU. Microsoft announced both would miss their September 1st ship date when pre-orders outstretched its manufacturing expectations.
