We can't install the specialized software our team actually needs

Vibe restricts users to a curated list of 190+ platform-verified apps. Many critical team applications are completely incompatible and constantly stalling workflows.

Full Native Apps Compatibility

Native Windows 11 Pro, Unrestricted Apps

Powered by a 10-core X86 processor, NearHub Board Max delivers true All-in-One PC performance. Leveraging hardware-level virtualization, it guarantees 100% native compatibility with resource-intensive x86/x64 apps like Bluebeam, Zoom Rooms, and complex enterprise ERPs.

The standalone board requires constant external troubleshooting

Because Vibe is sold as a standalone unit, video calls require external camera, causing unstable connections, long setup, and safety risks from unstable hardware falling off.

All-in-One Pro AV Integration

Built for seamless, immediate collaboration

Traditional setups suffer from cable-driven signal loss. NearHub Board Max integrates a 130° 4K AI Camera and 8-mic array directly into its chipset, eliminating hardware latency. Powered by our ProperClean® DSP for real-time echo cancellation, it guarantees uncompressed collaboration.

The base price looked affordable until we had to buy every single accessory

Vibe’s sticker price is misleading. Essential deployment equipment such as mobile stand, camera, and stylus must be bought separately, raising total ownership cost.

Core System All Included

Everything straight out of the box

NearHub board includes absolutely everything required for immediate deployment. Save over $1,000+ per room by eliminating forced add-on expenses for external USB cameras, microphones, compute modules, or essential accessories. Your team is fully equipped with premium hardware from day one.
