In recent years we are witnessing how Microsoft is turning into the design of the equipment it sells. Good examples are its Surface line, both the equipment that are tablets like those with a more marked laptop look. However, this line It also has a branch that focuses on companies. And if the Surface Hub was presented a few years ago, now it is the turn of the new generation Surface Hub 2.
