Microsoft rolls out its gigantic new tablet.

The touchscreen Surface Hub, which comes in 55- and 84-inch (137-213 cm) versions, is one of few Microsoft products manufactured in the US because its components are too large to fit on existing tablet assembly lines in Asia. The 84-inch version is priced at $20,000.
 
Here's a pic of the 55 incher:

I remember when flat screen TV's first came out-- my dot com wealthy ex brother in law bought 4 of them at over $20k each for his new home---, after selling his company to IBM for an ungodly sum---- so cool back then, soooo stupid now. That's what this microsoft giant reminds me of. surf
 
because its components are too large to fit on existing tablet assembly lines in Asia.

But wait a sec, what happened to that whole "the related factories and suppliers are all right next to each other - if we need to retool something we can do it much more quickly than if we build in the USA" story the tech companies love to parrot?
 
Microsoft, even at that size it wont actually be useable.

If Android run Tradeinterceptor trade and get a work out at the same time.
