Review on NEW Microsoft Surface Dock 2 by Maxwell Thomas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worked great on my Surface Book 1 - even using USB-C is great!

I have an original Surface Book 1 and I'm very jealous that my device doesn't have a USB-C port. I saw the new dock (I had the original dock) and decided to try it and see if it worked. I was very happy that the USB-C ports worked - and better yet, they worked on a 4K portable touchmonitor I have that uses a USB-C port. I was able to run 2 4k monitors via 2 USB-C ports on the main side of the dock. My previous dock was pretty good at running two 4k monitors and while this one required me to fiddle with a few different cables I was able to get it working which was another nice surprise too. The price I would pay for a docking device and the fact that it brought some new ports that worked great on my Surface Book 1 makes me very happy. If the dock connector was cheaper, I'd probably buy a second one to keep in my travel bag on the go, since I probably have to deal with the inconvenience of packing the dock every time I travel.

Pros
  • Simply plug in the Surface Connect cable to charge your device and access external monitors, keyboards, mice and more.
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
