Microsoft’s Surface line of laptops and tablets are sleek-looking but, as MacBook Pro fans have recently learned, there is sometimes a price to pay for that kind of design. Ports, in particular, are in short supply which is why Microsoft is selling its own Surface Dock to compensate. Sadly, that accessory has come up short for many users but, fortunately, a second-generation Dock may finally have most that what users have been asking for.
The current Surface Dock fails to impress many users for a couple of reasons. Design-wise, some find the cable connecting the dock to a Surface Laptop or Surface Pro too short to be comfortable. The power it delivers, a measly 95W, isn’t enough to drive both the device was well USB peripherals attached to it. And then there’s the lack of USB-C, which seems to be a Microsoft Thing.
