Microsoft Surfacehub 2S (55" or 85")

Anyone's companies got one of these yet? Any good?

Got 2 of the 55" Hub 2S at work.
One is stock running Windows for Teams the other i've installed Windows 10 on with all the Teams functionality on top. Bit of a pain to do but keeps users happy. The radar function of the camera is great, walk towards it and it boots.
You do need Office 365 to make the most of Teams that it runs.
They are limited on disk space and annoyingly only one USB port on them!!

we had a lot of Surface Hubs pre-covid and most were barely used as people didn't understand how to operate them fully. They were just used as an additional screen in a meeting room. All our meeting rooms have been closed since March

The surface Hub 2 is pretty pricey.

There are alternatives out there that could work depending on what is actually required like
- NEC WD551 (https://www.sharpnecdisplays.eu/p/uk/en/products/details/t/WD551/rp/WD551.xhtml)
- The Samsung Flip 2 (https://www.samsung.com/us/business/solutions/flip-interactive-signage/)

Both are a lot cheaper than the Hubs

Expensive and about as readily available as the faecal offerings of a wooden swaying equine

the old ones were a massive productivity tool, sharing whiteboards was just brilliant....................but pricey

I would be interested if anyone has any experience of using this, we've been donated 2 of each size for educational use but no training or support documents to run them! Obviously a powerful piece of kit and we want to get the best out of them.

At the moment IT have set them up running as extended monitors which for the most part is fine although is causing some issues with the pens used on the screens.
