Does the Surface come with a network card? null

There is a NIC but it is wifi only....no physical plug-in. You need to buy the docking station in order to get a hardwired network card (and display ports) or purchase a USB NIC dongle. Based on the location of the ports and whether or not you plan to travel with it, it might be a good idea to buy both. I don't see the USB port standing up to repeated plugging/unplugging of a dongle given the high location on the right side of the tablet.
