I'm at a loss to understand why am expensive, Surface branded dock cannot provide the same function as a cheap, non-branded USB-C dongle. The great thing about the USB C dock is that it also charges up the Surface Go. The Surface Go is a great devices for taking with you on the go but when it comes to ports there is just the one USB C port and a Surface expansion port. I can see from the display adapter properties for the external display, under 'List All Modes' that there are no listings for any resolution greater than 1080, regardless of any refresh rate. The dock comes with a USB C power supply and USB C cable so all I needed to do is to connect the dock to the Surface via the USB C cable and I can then plug into the dock a monitor (HDMI or DisplayPort) and three devices connected via full sized USB ports. With the Surface Go having USB C and the dock being USB C I have now have full docking station for my Surface Go. While the concept was great it did not take off and my 950XL and the dock where gathering dust in the back of a draw. The Surface Dock is a great way of expanding a Surface but it is a premium device costing around £170.īack when Microsoft launched the Lumia 950 and 950XL they also launched the Microsoft Display Dock (HD-500) designed to enable a desktop like experience from your phone by using it to connect up to a keyboard, mouse and monitor. The Surface Go is a great devices for taking with you on the go but when it comes to ports there is just the one USB C port and a Surface expansion port.
