Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful Microsoft Surface Dock for Surface Pro 3, Pro 4, and Surface Book by Jason Bollinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great when it works

I bought this dock to work with my Surface Pro 4 as I was preparing to work at home. I first bought a Samsung monitor to have a wider view to dock my Surface but soon I was missing the dual monitor feature so I bought a Zepter monitor to add to the dock. This worked very well for several weeks. However, it got to the point where it didn't work at all. The interface sees that the monitors are present but does not show them as active. On the internet, this is a common problem with Surface docks. I've updated the software on the dock and searched various Microsoft forums for advice on getting my Surface to work with the dock. Some fairly complex fixes got the monitors working for a short time, but they always reverted to just blinking and showing nothing. I'm a big Microsoft fan and bought the first four generations of Surface. I struggled to buy the Microsoft Dock (at a higher price) thinking it would pay off in quality and functionality. I choose badly. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a dock for their Surface.
