High bandwidth: 40 Gbps of bandwidth dynamically allocated for data and video, ideal for heavy workloads or fast file transfers.For example, with a Thunderbolt™-enabled laptop, display, and cable, the laptop can pass a video signal to the monitor and the monitor can charge the laptop at the same time. Thunderbolt™ 4 ports and cables support the trifecta of power charging and data transfer with bidirectional movement and video display in one interface. Power, Data Transfer, and Video Display in One Productivity, content creation, and gaming applications can all benefit from Thunderbolt™ 4 technology with cleaner workspaces and more bandwidth to support more accessories. The great thing about the USB C dock is that it also charges up the Surface Go.Thunderbolt™ 4 offers distinct advantages over USB-C with a more flexible and expansive set of capabilities. 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.
