When we have smartphones that are pushing six inches, how are we expected to use tablets that are only a couple of inches bigger? Sure, 12-inch tablets are much more enjoyable to use, but for many of us, it’s still not big enough. That’s where Microsoft thinks it can be of assistance with its new 55-inch and 84-inch Surface Hub tablets that’ll launch later this year. Sarcasm aside, these massive “tablets” will be launching this year, primarily for business users.

Microsoft this year will launch its biggest Surface devices yet, offering users access to TV-sized Windows gadgets, a new report reveals. Obviously, these aren’t your regular Surface-branded tablet/laptop combo. Instead, we’re looking at the Surface Hub Windows-based TV-like gadgets the company demoed at previous press events. According to Geek, Microsoft later this year will launch 55-inch and 84-inch Surface Hub models, which will be sold mainly to businesses. A Surface Hub will run Windows 10, and essentially work just like a Surface Pro tablet. However, these devices are conceived for team work-related purposes at the office, and are supposed to help companies increase productivity. Each Surface Hub comes with multitouch support for 100 touch points and two styluses. Each pen has its own doc that’ll recharge the device while not in use. Other features include dual camera support, and NFC connectivity, that’ll likely let users easily beam documents from other devices to the Surface Hub.
