Surface Pro 9/10/11/X Docking Station - Quad 4K Hub

In this review the Surface Pro 9/10/11/X Docking Station is evaluated for users who need multiple high-resolution displays and fast data with a Surface Pro 9/10/11/X. The bottom line: this USB-C hub converts the two Surface USB-C connections into a compact, aluminum-cased docking station that supports up to three external 4K@60Hz displays while also offering 100W USB-C power delivery and Thunderbolt 4 data speeds, making it a practical choice for video editors, photographers and multitasking professionals who use their Surface as a portable workstation.

Key Features

• Quad display support: Extends up to three external monitors using two 4K@60Hz HDMI ports plus a 4K@60Hz Thunderbolt USB-C output to multiply screen real estate for editing and multitasking.
• Thunderbolt 4 port: Provides 4K@60Hz video output plus up to 40Gbps data transfer and pass-through charging to keep the Surface powered while driving displays and peripherals.
• 100W Power Delivery: USB-C PD pass-through supplies full charging to the Surface so the tablet remains powered during heavy use and while multiple accessories are connected.
• High speed data and card access: Two USB 3.0 ports at up to 5Gbps and SD/TF card slots let users move photos and files quickly from cameras and external drives.
• Aluminum housing and plug-and-play: The metal case helps dissipate heat and the hub is driver-free for easy setup with Surface Pro 9/10/11/X units.

Who It's For

This docking station is best suited to professionals and creatives who use a Surface Pro 9/10/11/X as a primary workstation and need multiple 4K displays, fast file transfer and a single-cable charging experience. Video editors, photographers and programmers who benefit from extended screens and SD card workflow will find the combination of dual HDMI and a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C output especially useful.

It is less appropriate for users who keep a bulky protective case on their Surface, since the hub may not fit securely with heavy cases, and for those who only need a single external monitor or a very compact travel dongle.
