Hello. Does the Surface Dock 2 allow the use of the Surface Laptop 3 while the laptop is closed? I know it's compatible with the SL3, but I'd like to use it with the laptop closed with monitors & external keyboard and mouse connected via USB to the dock. null

Yes. You may have to open the laptop on Start Up or Re-Start.

Yes, it's totally possible. If you have problems while doing it, you can just set your surface laptop to not go to sleep when the lid is closed. It's in the power settings of the windows desktop environment.
