Customer Ratings & Reviews

excellent Dock. the quality was very cared and versatile with the option its provides. My only suggestion would be the size. it is not small is your have have a small work surface.

Easy set up! Item as described and works as it should! Enough outlets to connect 2 monitors, flash drive and wired keyboard. Plus 2 front usb-c for whatever needed.

Like the first Surface dock, it works well. It's solid and the USB-C ports are nice update. Of course, you're probably need adapters unless your monitor(s) has a (video-enabled) usb-c connection. Note, this is a proprietary dock and only works with compatible MS Surface products.

This the best dock I could have purchased to setup my home office. Just plug it in and your Surface is ready to go. Worth the $$. Highly recommend.

Super easy to use and I love the design and connectivity.

I purchased a cheaper generic brand, but it wasn't up to the task. This purchase includes the power supply, which gives me a spare power supply when traveling.

It works well. In general, it is a lot better to just use a thunderbolt 4 dock and avoid using the proprietary connector. Also, the power brick is way too large.

Power cord works great for surface. Only issue is they have changed some of the inputs so the video input different than the previous model.

Priced at $300 and dose not even have proper HDMI outputs. You need to buy separate USB-C to HDMI dongles for a docking station. What a joke. And because the surface laptop studio 2 only supports this weird port for charging and docking this is the only option. No USB-C charging of the surface studio laptop 2 will work.

Best dock for Microsoft laptops including surface book

Overall very pleased. I needed it for work-at-home. I had to purchase USB-C to HDMi adapters. It has 6 ports - Two front-facing USB-C ports - Two rear-facing USB-C (gen 2) ports - Two rear-facing USB-A ports I went with the 2 instead of the one because it has better support for the monitors. I use 2 - 27 inch QHD monitors and there is no flickering. My coworkers who have the 1st dock have issues with video. It is compact enough that I can take it with me for travel. I did tkink it was a bit expensive for what you get.

Works as advertised. I was able to connect 3 27-inch monitors to a Surface Laptop 5 and still use the screen on the laptop.

Like MacBooks, modern Surface devices have only a few ports, and depending on the age and model of your device you may find yourself lacking a USB-C connection even if your device is pretty new. It seems docks and dongles are the future until everything switches to USB-C. The Surface Dock 2 is a premium product that appeals to power users with the need for the best Microsoft-branded accessories in the Surface lineup. The Dock 2 goes "all in" on USB-C, replacing the front USB-A ports and the rear Mini DisplayPorts of the previous Dock with USB-C. The Dock 2 also includes a higher-wattage power brick to supply even the most the power-hungry Surface Book devices. The Dock 2 is a "one cable" solution using the Surface Connector port, allowing you to easily attach or detach your Surface device and leave everything else plugged into the Dock itself. The cable on the Dock 2 is longer than the previous Dock, allowing you more freedom in placement on your desk. The Dock 2 still has the separate power brick and cabling that connects to a power outlet. I encourage you to take stock of the main ports you're looking for from the Dock 2, especially compared to the Dock "1" -- the Dock 2 has 4 USB-C ports and no DisplayPort or HDMI connections. If you're looking to connect a monitor, as I suspect nearly everyone shopping this device will, you'll need a monitor with a USB-C connection or a dongle/cable that converts USB-C to DisplayPort or HDMI (or whatever your monitor uses). While these dongles/cables are readily available and relatively affordable, it's yet another purchase you have to make if your monitor isn't the latest and greatest. Only the Dock 2's rear USB-C ports are display-compatible, but with the right adapter I was able to drive a 4k monitor with no issues. Depending on your Surface model you can drive multiple 4k displays at 60 or 30 hertz refresh rates. Overall, this is a premium device and a true one-cable solution for connecting most modern Surface devices. I hesitated on rating this 4 or 5 stars, but ultimately went with 5 stars because the Dock 2 does what it's supposed to do and does it very well. It's all-in on USB-C and you need to be aware of your exact port needs before purchase, as well as the capabilities of your specific Surface device (only the latest and greatest can power multiple 4k monitors at a full 60hz refresh rate). If your needs are met by what the Dock 2 offers I think you'll be pleased. I've had no major issues with it since purchase and really appreciate how it streamlines my desk area. The Dock 2 commands a premium price and I think it's really best fitted to power users with high-spec Surface devices. Casual users may be much happier with a more affordable USB-C dongle or dock if their Surface device has a USB-C port already; otherwise, users of older and/or less-powerful Surface devices might want to check out the original Surface Dock, especially if they already have a monitor that uses DisplayPort. Folks with HDMI-based monitors will need an adapter regardless of which Surface Dock model they use.

Works exactly as I hoped it would. It allows me to have a home office with multiple monitors.

No problems. Works great. Microsoft quality, get the genuine article, not a cheap knockoff that will not work. Spend the extra money and get the product that is made to be compatible with Microsoft Surface products. It is heavy but I like that, old school, the heavier the better, heavy duty Rubber pad on bottom so does not slide around. Does not heat up, quality. It is 2 pieces, both about the same size: the product literature only shows the dock, but there is also a separate power brick same size as the dock itself. Not easily portable, but a dock station means you are using it with other peripherals attached. When I want portability I don't use a dock. I have the Microsoft Surface Go 2, and this dock is heavier and has a larger footprint than my Microsoft Surface Go 2 computer/tablet even with the detachable keyboard and Surface Pen attached to the Surface Go 2. This thing is built to last a lifetime; I like that because I keep my electronics for many years, take a licking and keep on ticking like a Timex watch. Don't take chances with a one size fits all junk product, get this instead. Engineered to work with Microsoft Surface products, don't take chances using a cheapo product to save a few dollars. A quality product built to last for many years. All cords and cables thick and heavy duty, no skimping with this dock. Works as advertised. Highly recommend.

Got it for work and it work perfectly. I run my wired headset and monitor from the dock and I haven't had any connections problem. Has alot of update ports and have legacy ports aswells. I would recommend if it wasn't so pricey but I had some extra cash burning a hole and wanted to us all my ports on my Surface.

A little bigger than previous models, I like to travel with my dock so the new one is more cumbersome. But this size allows for two additional ports (USBC) for peripheral connectivity, which is great. The move to USBC for monitors is fantastic.

This is a great docking solution if you are using a Microsoft Surface. I have approx 30 deployed in a all surface environment. The dock 2 does NOT seem to have the issues of the original. I had firmware update issues with them at times. I do prefer the usb c over display port. NOTE: In my experience do NOT mix the dock one with dock 2, meaning if a user has a Dock at the office and one at home - have them the same. I have had a lot of issues, It is hard to get users to do anything, but I believe the problem is simply being put to sleep and waking up on a different dock with different drivers. A reboot of the laptop resolves the issue, but cannot seem to get the users to shut down. On the downside these are pricey- the first generation got really affordable, but the gen 2 don't seem to drop in price.

Very functional dock that adds great versatility to Surface Pro 8! Charges, adds monitors, ethernet and extra ports! Fast, efficient and practical!!!

I knew I needed to drive two 4k monitors, and hoped this would handle it... this little hub does it all. The two monitors work flawlessly, and the wired ethernet, two other USB ports, audio, and 4 USB-C connections have me as wired as I dare to be. This is an expensive hub, but absolutely priceless in my eyes. It has all the ports I need, and then some. The 4 USB-C ports are very useful. Currently running both my 4k monitors flawlessly, as well as a wired keyboard and mouse, audio (separate audio jack), 4k webcam and microphone with no issues whatsoever. Everything just works. Highly recommended.
