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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a very good docking station, but it has USB-C outputs for monitors instead of traditional HDMI or DisplayPort outputs. Display Output won't work correctly with passive USB-C to HDMI cables and active USB-C to HDMI cables are expensive. If your monitor has DisplayPort inputs, using USB-C to DisplayPort cables can save you a decent amount of money, as the standards are more closely related. I like the number of USB-C ports on the docking station and I like the magnetic Surface connector for its durability, so I can justify the cost of this docking station, even if it isn't the best value.

Solid As A Rock Surface Dock

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.

Great docking solution

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.

The best thing you can do for your Surface

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.

This dock is really nice and works really well. I still don't know why the heck it is so expensive but it does work really well. I have 7 different surface devices in my house and it works well with all of them. I really like that it charges your surface device while it is docked but i am just not sure it really needs to be this expensive. I personally think if microsoft out this around 175 they would sell more of them and make more money on them being more popular.

Essential accessory for the Surface Book 3 desktop

Connected my 4k monitor and all peripherals with ease. It's nice having one cable to manage everything on my SB3 as TB3 is unavailable so this proprietary interface was the next best thing. Does everything I need it to do, and can be available with some discounts even though it was only recently released.
Highly recommended for anyone who is going to be at a multi-monitor desk with a SB3. For SB2, I also recommend this because it will deliver 95w to the SurfaceConnect port, compared to 60w from the previous dock. For other Surface devices, it is possible the first generation meets your needs, especially if you do not have many USB-C devices to plug in.

This dock is simply the best docking solution out of any, period. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely, considering this often goes on sale. I have it connected to my Surface Book 2 and I pretty much use every port on it. Best part is I can have all my input devices, monitors, speakers, etc. connected via one cable to my laptop so I can easily bring it with me where I want to go and then dock it when I get back to my desk. If you constantly plug multiple devices into your surface device at your desk, this dock is absolutely a must have.
