A couple of days ago, Google introduced the Jamboard – a collaborative, digital whiteboard built to make the most out of meetings. The Jamboard makes it easy for a team to share ideas in real-time, and create without boundaries thanks to the power of the cloud.

First of all, it allows you to work with teammates from across the world on other Jamboards or remotely use the smartphone or tablet companion app.

Google Search is built right into it, as if the G Suite. The Jamboard allows you to copy and paste content and images directly from the web, and there are loads of tools and intelligent features like handwriting and shape recognition.

When used as a regular whiteboard, Jamboard lets you save a snapshot of your work to view at a later date. The Jamboard is intelligently designed to speed up collaboration among your teams with a 55-inch 4k display that features a best-in-class touch response time. Combine this with a built-in HD camera, speakers and Wi-Fi, and you’re set up to collaborate and broadcast your work globally with Hangouts.

Jamboard’s touchscreen was built for precision drawing. It automatically recognises the difference between using the stylus to sketch or the eraser to start over and requires neither batteries or pairing. Jamboard can also sense when you’re using your finger to wipe work off of the screen, just like a classic whiteboard (except you won’t get ink on your hand). The intuitive, single-cable setup makes it easy to start creating quickly with Jamboard — just wheel it in, turn it on and start brainstorming.

While touch displays have traditionally been expensive, at under $6,000 USD, Jamboard is a competitively-priced way to transform your team’s meetings and will be available for purchase in 2017.
