Microsoft Surface Dock 2

As a recent Surface Laptop 7 owner, I was eager to find a docking station that would seamlessly integrate with my new device and expand its capabilities. The Surface Dock 2 has exceeded my expectations!Here's what I love:Effortless Setup: Plugging in the Surface Connect cable was all it took. My laptop instantly recognized the dock and started charging, with no fiddling with drivers or settings.Powerful Connectivity: I now have a full desktop setup with dual external monitors (running beautifully at 4K resolution), a wired keyboard and mouse, and an ethernet connection for stable internet access. While it doesn't have Thunderbolt, I haven't found that to be an issue. My workflow relies primarily on USB accessories and external displays, which the dock handles flawlessly.Clean and Minimalist: The dock itself has a sleek, modern design that complements my Surface Laptop perfectly. It keeps my workspace organized and clutter-free.Fast Charging: The dock charges my laptop quickly and efficiently, even while powering multiple peripherals.Built for Surface: It's clear that this dock was designed specifically for Surface devices. The integration is flawless, and it enhances the overall Surface experience.I highly recommend the Surface Dock 2 to anyone with a compatible Surface device. It's a worthwhile investment that transforms your laptop into a powerful workstation.

I initially tried to use less expensive third party docks connecting to a Surface Book 4 through the USB-C port. I needed to support two external 4K televisions (LG and Sony) as external monitors. None of the third party docks supported this adequately despite listing dual-4K support (two introduced noise when second monitor added, while a third overheated and shut down). The Microsoft dock works flawlessly, both directly to the monitors and through a dual-monitor KVM switch. I did have to add USB-C to HDMI adapters, for which I am able to use very inexpensive Walmart house brand adapters, which to me indicates that the dock is supplying a solid signal. The other ports (USB-A, Ethernet, and the non-video USB-C ports) also work flawlessly. My adobo e is to not waste your time with third-party docks, just get the MS dock and get the functionality you want.Note, this dock does replace the MS-Surface power adapter. It plugs to AC, and supplies power/charging to the Surface unit. This also leaves existing ports (USB-A, USB-C, etc.) on the Surface device available. I have also tested that you can then attach an additional third-party dock via USB-C or an additional USB-C to HDMI adapter to support a third external monitor. I have not yet tested support for a fourth external monitor.Note to non-MS-Surface users, this dock connects to the PC through Microsoft’s proprietary power-data connector, not through USB-A or USB-C, so you cannot use this dock with machines from other manufacturers.

I've had one fail out of maybe 12 we purchased at work. I just wish they came with more ports but overall reliable

I ordered this item because I have a port edition 1 - I was hoping this dock might offer a better feature set than the edition 1. That doesn’t appear to be the case. I would say that it is worth the price but may not expand your capabilities. It did stove on time, well packed in excellent condition

Edit - 9/22/24It will constantly disconnect. Be prepared to have problems with the charger cord not being recognized by the computer. EXTREMELY disappointing.-----------I've been through 2 dongles prior to this and almost gave up being able to use my USB keyboard and mouse! I have this for my setup in my classroom and absolutely love it now! It makes using my computer and charging it, so much easier!!

Surface dock, does well with dual monitors and adds more ports to surface pro. We have plenty of these around the office and they work well.

The ports did not allow direct connection to my surface. Needed to purchase an additional adapter.
