Microsoft’s lineup of Surface devices might be getting smaller, but they’re also growing in size—or at least that’s what marketing wants us to think. In an interesting move, the company unveiled what seems to be the largest Surface device ever, capturing the imagination of tech enthusiasts everywhere.
Taking the internet by storm, a LinkedIn post from the official Microsoft account showcased an enormous Surface Laptop with a screen that appears to be around six feet diagonally. Yes, you read that right! In the video, Microsoft UK’s CEO, Darren Hardman, is literally standing on the keyboard of this colossal creation, making everything around him look almost toy-like.
Recently, Darren and the UK crew organized the Microsoft AI Tour in London, focusing on cutting-edge AI tech such as autonomous agents and Copilots. However, it’s hard to stay focused on AI advancements when a gigantic Surface Laptop looms in the background!
While this massive laptop probably isn’t a direct super-sized version of the Surface Laptop 7, it does feature what looks like a functional Copilot key—or at least a button that triggers a Copilot video. It’s only fitting since every modern Windows laptop seems to come with a Copilot key these days.
But this isn’t Microsoft’s first dance with larger-than-life devices. Back in 2013, the company displayed something resembling a supersized Surface 2 in London. Though impressive at the time, it lacked the sleekness of our modern giants, with large bezels not being quite as flattering.
Turning back the pages of history, the consumer-centric Surface Studio 2+ holds the title for the largest Surface device. Though no longer in production, it boasted a grand 28-inch screen that fans still reminisce about. Many wish Microsoft hadn’t closed the curtain on the Surface Studio series or, at the very least, created a Surface Studio Monitor.
An honorary nod goes to the Surface Table—another tech wonder of its time. With a screen rivaling the Surface Studio 2+, this hefty 198-pound table never quite caught on beyond its initial commercial market focus thanks in part to its steep $10,000 price tag.
In the realm of sheer screen size, the Surface Hub 3 takes the crown. One of its models sports an incredible 85-inch screen, matched only by the Surface Hub 2S. The original Surface Hub, coming in at 84 inches, now feels modest by comparison. Designed for collaborative use, the Surface Hub 3 is a behemoth meant for multiple users, even though it’s not as grand as the promotional giant laptop.
Who knows, maybe Microsoft is planning an even bigger device than the Hub 3. Until then, we’ll be content with the visual spectacle presented in their marketing campaigns.
