My biggest challenge has been trying to figure out a dock/hub solution.
I didn’t go with the Surface Dock because of short non-removable/extendable proprietary cable and less power delivery. I wish Microsoft would fix both of those things and offer a simple option that didn’t involve figuring out all the separate pieces described below.
Other dock options are out there, but I couldn't find one that clearly supported 100w power delivery and 4k video at 60hz.
I decided to try connecting and charging my Surface Book 2 (15in) through a USB-C hub connected to a 4K TV/monitor. I have tried 4 different hubs, 8 USB-C extension cables, 3 USB-C to USB-C cables, 3 USB-C to HDMI cables, and 3 HDMI cables. I have tested each exhaustively to figure out what does and doesn’t work.
I am going to include what I finally found did work to hopefully save you the weeks of testing, frustration, and returns that I went through. If you are looking for a way to have one clean 3ft cable (so that the hub can be behind desk) that connects to the USB-C port on your Surface Book 2 and provides charging (95 to 100w) at same or better rate than the original charger, and connects to a 4k display at 60hz, and does not cause image or sound distortions, and allows connecting other USB peripherals to the hub, here is what works (links below):
- Anker Powerline II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 3ft - This is the KEY PIECE! I fought through so many cables that were infuriatingly problematic and inconsistent. The Anker Powerline II worked perfectly as soon as I plugged it in and has continued to do so every time. I REALLY wish I had just found it first! It would have saved me hours and hours of frustration! If you can have the hub right next to your laptop and then a bunch of cables running out from there, then this cable is not necessary, but I needed a clean look with one cable from the laptop and then all the mess behind the monitor and desk.
- WBPINE USB C Hub HDMI 5-in-1 Multiport Adapter or Koopman Dex Station USB Type C 5-in-1 Hub - These appear to be the same product and manufacturer. I like the black case and green power light of the WBPINE. Koopman offers a better warranty. Both worked the same. One of the great things about these hubs—besides the rarity of supporting 4k at 60hz and 100w power—is that the 6in cable to connect to the laptop is removable. That makes it both more durable and possible to replace the short cable with a longer one rather than having to use as USB-C extension (male-to-female) cable which I found to be more problematic and harder to find with the right specs.
- Wacom 100w Power Adapter with 6ft “Mickey Mouse” AC Power Cord – This is expensive for just a power adapter. At the time, it was the only good option I could find to support 100w. Hopefully more 100w power adapters will come available at lower cost.
- High Speed HDMI Cable - I have tested several. They have all worked. I could not see any difference between 4ft and 6ft, but 4ft fit my application better. Just make sure it is rated for high speed. Don’t spend more than $10.
- TCL 55S423 55in TV - (From Costco) Great price. Supports Chroma 4:4:4. Has ports coming off the side rather than back. 55in is as big as I would want to go for comfortable monitor. The TCL 55S405 is similar, but I think it has the ports coming off the back which means it has to mount farther from the wall.
- As a side note, the Vivo Mount-VW03G is a great mount for a 55in screen that you need to be height-adjustable and rotatable and the Vivo Desk-V111VT makes a great rolling height-adjustable standing desk.
Now that I finally have the hub and cables figured out, I am loving my setup!!

First, the good. The screen is fantastic, the battery life, when you get it is great. It works fast. Unless you're doing video editing or other gpu intensive stuff it keeps up great. And even then, I can play Noita, Minecraft, or Overwatch with a little tinkering with the settings. The keyboard still works, though I was without the left shift key for a year after spilling port. A couple weeks ago it woke up, so that's nice. All touch stuff still works like a dream. The wifi is flawless, and all ports are still completely functional. Also, the ability to turn the screen around and draw, or just remove it is still very nice, though you will only use this functionality if you use the surface pen. This was fantastic for teaching online last year, as I could use One Note with my pen, and stream what I was writing to students.
Now for some negatives. You should expect a scary problem with the laptop about once every 2 months. I tend to use a lot of processes, and this can cause problems. Most of these issues are software issues, though for a couple months my wifi wasn't would disconnect once a day. You'll have to feel comfortable with doing resets, driver diagnosis, and general troubleshooting, or this could be burdensome - it may just be due to windows 10, though I think the laptop has more issues than other windows 10 computers I've had. Also, the surface pen. In my experience, when it's working, it's fantastic, no lag, smooth lines, but it's also a bit crap. I'm on my third right now, so one per year, at a hundred per pop. Also, to write, I recommend a glove. The screen gets hot, and your hand can get sticky. Finally, the keyboard cannot be replaced if you damage it. If something happens, you're in for a world of hurt, as you have to resort to resellers. I had a friend who spilled water on the keyboard, couldn't find a replacement, and had to get a new laptop after trying to find a new keyboard.
Anyway, I love it. Also, for the curious, Ubuntu does work on this, despite the unusual hardware. You need to install some driver specific stuff though. And, I never attempted to detach the keyboard with Ubuntu installed, as I was scared of what could happen if something did go wrong.

Definitely not worth the money if you aren't going to use it to its full capabilities though. So unless you need its power, screen size, and awesome video card, don't bother. Check your requirements for your work, compare it to the laptop. If you don't need 80% of it's functionality at least, go for the cheaper offer - that's my advice.


The keyboard is incredibly comfortable to type on, which was part of its selling point for me. It’s a bit top-heavy for putting on your lap but that’s expected, considering it’s a detachable 2-in-1, and the hinge is very sturdy. The screen doesn’t wobble around, and since the actual computer is in the top part, I’m less worried about overheating when I don’t have a desk to work at. Speaking of heating, there’s no fan in the dual-core model. It cools passively through the vents and the magnesium body, so it’s a completely silent machine, always. I was a bit leery at first of buying a 7th gen i5 over a newer quad-core i5, but in the end I saved money and for the tasks I need—writing in Word, internet browsing, and occasionally drawing—I’ve noticed no difference in speed, and I didn’t need the non-integrated GPU. The display is vivid and detailed, although quite glossy. Touch input has worked flawlessly so far with both hand and Surface Pen (sold separately!), and the latter magnetically sticks to the side which is nice. Battery life is really good so far, although I’ve pretty much just been using it with the keyboard attached to get that extra battery life.
The detachability is the thing that makes the SB 2 unique, and it’s quite a secure mechanism. The times I have flipped the display it around, the tug to remove it after hitting the button is perhaps firmer than expected, but I suppose that’s part of why it feels so solid. You could probably pick it up by the display and shake it and it still wouldn’t come off (not that I’ve tried and nor should you). It also takes a full second or so for the computer to release the latches when you detach, so it’s slightly slower than instantaneous.
All in all, great device so far. I love the versatility and comfort of it, although I wouldn’t pay full asking price unless you’re getting one of the more decked out models. You’ll probably get looks if you bring it into a Starbucks.
