Q: QuestionHow many USB ports?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThank you for the question. Surface Laptop 4 has one USB-C port and one USB-A port.Answered by MicrosoftOutreachTeam
- A: AnswerIt does not have a direct input for HDMI, but I plug mine into a Dell hub via the USB-C port. So yes, you can, but you'll need a one of these hubs. I believe Microsoft makes a Surface Hub, but it's not necessary for it to be a Microsoft branded hub if you like another type.

An extremely fun product
This laptop is really amazing! It was worth my money! I loved the keyboard texture so I’m not always cold on my hands when I type. I also like how customizable the laptop was and how user friendly it is. The thing that really made me enjoy this product was how it really can adjust itself for gaming mode performance. I recommend this product for those who want to get their work done with some light gaming on the side.

Great reliable laptop for students
A fantastic laptop, I use it for school and it can last multiple days with no charge. Handles all the functions I need (stem major, not comp sci) and can even handle draining games like Roblox.
