I have a Surface Laptop 4 that I wanted to dock into a more desktop PC like setup with a mouse, keyboard, and external monitor, but I didn't want a bunch of cables hanging out of the laptop and that I would have to yank when I wanted to take the laptop on the go. I initially thought of getting a USB C hub with charging support and lots of USBs and HDMI etc, because the Surface does support charging and display over USB C, but I decided to splurge and get the official Microsoft Surface Dock 2 instead, as I love the magnetic Surface connector. Now I can plug everything and the kitchen sink into my laptop with just one cable.So far the only things I have plugged into the dock are the receiver for my mouse, the 3.5mm audio cable going to a Bluetooth speaker that doubles as my PC speaker, and a cable in one of the front USB C ports to charge my phone and other devices at my desk. I do not yet have my external monitor (letting my bank account recover from buying this dock haha). I plan on getting a ~24" 1440p display, I may just go with one that has native USB C display support, or HDMI with an adapter cable, however some people have reported having touble doing this unless they purchased an expensive Microsoft HDMI to USB C adapter, so I will research a bit more. I will also update this review if I have trouble connecting an external display. The quality as with most official Microsoft products is really good. The dock is a hefty black box, and it feels really solid. The entire bottom is covered in a grippy rubber, so it will definitely stay put on your desk and won't flop around or get pulled off the desk top by a ton of cables being plugged in or anything. All the ports feel high quality too, the USB C ports all have a good firm click when plugging in accessories. The AC adapter brick is amusingly a bit larger than the dock itself, but the max power output of this thing is almost 200w so that's understandable. All the cables used to connect the dock are really sturdy feeling and chunky, but they are not stiff. They are still flexible enough to route them however you need for your setup. Overall, if you can drop the cash for the convenience and you have a compatible Surface PC I would highly recommend this dock! I mostly just use mine for home use, and hobby content creation like digital drawing and dabbling with music production software etc, but this would also be a great office or work-from-home companion as well.

Works great with the surface studio laptop. I have a 5120x1440 monitor that I have a single USB-C to DisplayPort cable connected to the dock. It is able to drive that monitor in HDR without any issues. Charging is at full speed as well. It also has a gigabit Ethernet connectionThey provide enough usb ports for a non insane person. My desktop on the other hand uses about 15 usb ports and has a hub. I haven’t required a use case with this dock to add much and don’t really fill them all. If your laptop is your primary computer then I could see the need to buy a hub in addition to this dock Works great with the surface studio laptop.

But it seems to handle a lot of data transfer over this thin cable. Very satisfied about how slick and robust this dock is.

Works great for at home work setup.

TL:DR -This works for MS Surface Go, gen 1! USB C to HDMI seems to work with generic and quality USB c to HDMI devices.Everything seems to work as expected. Plug in, let it install the drivers, then go!...restart may be necessary.The dock itself has soft rubber(?) lining on the bottom to reduce sliding around.The dock connects to your surface with the proprietary magnetic plug that's around 32 inches so your laptop or tablet doesn't have to be stuck near the dock.Ethernet port works as expected.Audio port is both speaker + mic ports in one (similar to your cell phone).Two USB c video ports in the back so you add two monitors!I would recommend if you need more than a tablet or laptop.Detailed review -I wasn't sure if this would work well for my Surface Go but I took the chance. I also was concerned about the USB c to HDMI adapter because i'm not as familiar with the USB c protocols and devices. Both turned out to work fine together. I have my Surface Go 1 docked now, with both my HDMI monitor and HDMI TV connected to this dock.Setup was very easy. I just plugged everything in and let it set itself up. I did have to let it finish setting up and then disconnect and reconnect the connector. I suspect this necessity is a Windows thing, maybe a surface thing, because I had to do it with my generic hub as well. Reconnect it and it should work.The HDMI adapter that I bought worked easily out of the box. An interesting thing that I found was that my generic USB c hub (5 in 1 or 7 in 1 type) has an HDMI out and that worked too! This USB c display protocol that this dock has may already be in our USB c devices that have HDMI ports. I checked my device manager and display adapter settings and it appears that the HDMI connections are working off the surface's graphics cards and not the external video card types.The second biggest reason I wanted to get this dock was the Ethernet port that this dock has. My surface doesn't have an Ethernet port and I'm read that normal 7 in 1 hubs that have HDMI and Ethernet ports usually can't handle the data so I didn't want to spend the $ to find out later that I'm not getting the expected performance. I don't know how to tell how fast the Ethernet is working but I can watch a video over remote desktop with only a slight bit of lag on one of my HDMI connected monitors.The audio port with both mic and headphones is important nowadays because of the video conferencing that I've been doing and this port works as expected. One thing that was interesting was that windows identified the device as USB Audio or Headphones (USB) but this is not a problem.Final words, this is a dock, not a hub. Meaning, don't expect this to be portable. This is not a portable device, I think of this as a portability facilitator. It lets you be portable by putting all your device connections in one place AND adds more connectors and expands on what you can connect as well. It also has a power brick that is literally the same size as the dock.If you want portable, then you need something more like a hub, but those hubs are not a great solution for permanent setups either because you might need to power it with a USB c port AND your surface will still need its power supply if you don't want to just run on batteries. Then you might also need your audio connection... This is really how my setup was before this dock. My hub connected to my Surface's USB c. it needed power so it was plugged into a USB power adapter. This hub also didn't work every time and I constantly had to unplug it or its power until things connected. My Surface's power connector was also plugged into my Surface and I had an audio connection for my speakers.My device:Surface Go (model 1824)CPU: Intel Pentium 4415Y @ 1.6, 64 bitRam 4 GBUSB C to HDMI:Cable Matters Aluminum USB C to HDMI Adapter for Surface Pro 7 and More - Support 4K 60Hz and HDRhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFW2G3K

I have a Surface Book 2 and needed a docking station for it. This works great!. Keep in mind the display ports are USBC, so you may need an adapter for your monitor.

I'm giving this thing a 5/5 because it's genuinely the best, most essential, accessory for the surface lineup. It does exactly what is said, and that's why I love it. But 300 CAD for this thing? I honestly hate how both Apple and Microsoft's battle has pushed them into premium marketing.This thing is not worth the 300 I payed for it, but is worth me getting it. Where does that leave me? Purgatory. I can't definitely say that you should buy this, but if you need to upgrade your desk setup, then you need this. In any other case, it's not worth it. This should not be an impulse buy, you should budget and make sure that, with all other accessories you're getting (i.e. external monitors), this thing will find its use. Otherwise, your wasting money on a product you don't need.

Estuve pensando comprar un Dock Thunderbolt para utilizar con mi Surface Laptop Studio, ya que solo tiene 2 puertos USB-C con Thunderbolt, pero ya que tengo otros 2 dispositivos Surface (Pro 7 y Go 2) pensé que sería una mejor inversión este ultimo ya que les pemitiría acceder a los mismos recursos.El Surface Dock 2 es bonito, a pesar de que simplemente es una "cajita con ranuras". Se siente premium al tocarlo...su exterior, el cable de calidad y con un plástico muy fino.Es PESADO, para nada ligero...pero esto hace que lo puedas colocar en un sitio en el escritorio y que no se deslice o que lo puedas empujar fácilmente y que se caiga, aparte tiene sistema anti-derrapante, por lo que se queda donde lo colocas.El cable de conección a la laptop tiene muy buena longitud, por lo que te ayuda a posicionar bien el dispositivo en tu área de trabajo.Conectores: Tiene casi todo lo que necesitas. Tengo conectados 2 dispositivos USB-A, 1 USB-C y 2 Monitores HD. Utilicé la conección LAN sin problemas, aunque normalmente no la requiero.La carga es de 100 watts, por lo que carga mis laptops rapidísimo.¿Qué podría pedir del dispositivo?Me hubiera gustado tener 2 salidas HDMI nativas para no tener que conectar 2 adaptadores USB-C a HDMIMe gustaría fuera un poco menos caroMe gustaría que pudiera ser utilizado por otro sistema de dispositivos, por medio de conección con Thunderbolt.Pero ahora es rápido y eficiente simplemente conectar un cable a mi latpop y tener TODO listo y a la mano: monitores, mouse, teclado, impresora, escáner. Muy satisfecho con la compra.

I had purchase this product on Amazon. After using it for few months know I am having some trouble with it. I contact Microsoft and they said that this product is not covered under their warranty as it is not sold by Microsoft India. It has been imported by someone and sold into India. At least we expect the Amazon vendors to inform the buyers that this product will not be covered under any warranty. I feel cheated

Working perfectly with my Surface pro 7 and external monitor via Uni usbc- to HDMI cable.It is worth every single cent

Come with two docks and really handy.
