The ribbed aluminum chassis dispels heat, is durable, and can be used horizontally or vertically with included non-slip rubber feet. It has a wide range of ports, it charges your Pro while you work, and it's built to last.

As it stands now, the best docking station for the newest Surface Pro models is the CalDigit TS4. The new ports carried over to the Surface Pro 9 as well. The Surface Pro 8 finally added Thunderbolt 4 ports, opening the Surface line up to a bunch of new docks. Plus, for $299 it's relatively affordable for a Thunderbolt 4 capable docking solution. Overall, we think the Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock is the best dock on the market for Surface PCs with USB-C ports, as it offers excellent versatility and expandability due to its many ports. On the front of the dock is a USB-A and USB-C port, and around the back you'll find two more USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an ethernet jack, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Kensington lock. The Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock supports 96W passthrough charging, and can drive dual 4K monitors at 60Hz. This means it's only compatible with PCs that have USB-C ports, which means it's only compatible with the Surface Pro 7, Surface Laptop 3, Surface Book 2, or Surface Go 1 and up. The dock itself is now slimmer, taking up less vertical space while maintaining the same footprint.Īnother big change with the new Surface Dock is that it now supports Thunderbolt 4, and swaps out the magnetic Surface Connect cable in favor of the more universal USB-C plug. Dubbed the 'Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock,' this product delivers the first major design change to the Surface Dock since the original launched in 2015. Microsoft is now shipping its latest offering in its Surface Dock portfolio.
