Surface Book 2 - works very well - great buy

I recently bought this hub to replace the Surface Dock 1. (I don't recommend buying the Surface Dock). The reason I bought this hub is that the Surface Dock doesn't provide enough power to my Surface Book 2 to keep it charged while in use. With this hub I can do the following.1. Use the original 90W charger that came with your Surface Book, not the 60W charger on the Surface Dock. This allows me to keep my laptop charged while I'm using it.2. Lets me run at 2K at 60Hz. I had to do quite a bit of research to find out if this would work. Surface Book 2 can support resolutions up to 2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz when using a hub. The reason is that when using a USB-C hub, 2 PCI-e lanes are for video and the other 2 are for data. So as long as the connected display is less than or equal to 2560 x 1440, this adapter will run at 60Hz. I personally use an ultra-wide monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1080 and 60Hz.3. still allows me to connect via ethernet and plug in a mouse and keyboard. All in all I would recommend this hub to anyone who has a device that is on the compatibility list and I have no intention of using a display with a resolution greater than 2k. . All laptops older than 2019 don't have DP1.4 to support 4k@60Hz. The quality of the guild is excellent, it looks very solid. The only complaint I have is that there is an indicator that keeps blinking when connected to the network, but that's about it.

Pros
  • Two super fast 5G USB 3.0 ports
Cons
  • Some small things
