Q: QuestionWill the USB-C ports work with iPad pro 11"?

Asked 5 years ago by Tom072805.

• A:Answer Yes. In addition to working very well with my 15" Surface Book 2 and Dell UltraSharp 32 4K USB-C Monitor - U3219QIt, it charges my iPad 11" Pro via USB-C port (using the iPad cord) and connects just fine to iCloud and iTunes for backup.

Q: QuestionIf I can get USB-C to HDMI why would you need the dock? Will the USB-C carry audio?

Asked 6 years ago by Dave.

• A:Answer You could do the single monitor that way, but this is for people who want multiple monitors, as well as the ethernet, USB ports, etc... A docking station like this lets the portable computer basically emulate a desktop with all the ports that aren't available natively on the Surface Pro itself. But you are right, if you only want a single monitor to extend to, you can get by with the one cable.
