The other ports include a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 data only with 5V/1.5A/7.5W downstream power (USB-C 3.2 is usually 5V/3A/15W) and a USB-A 3.1 Gen 2 Port with 5V/1.5A/7W downstream power. A second USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 with alt DP mode will also support a if your monitor has a USB-C port, or you can buy a USB-C to HDMI cable (make sure it is capable* – many are not). This has one HDMI 2.0 for up to (50Hz in Australia).

Not only that, but it has other PCI bus constraints that can overload the 10Gbps connection. That is a 40Gbps interface versus USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Mbps – 25% of Thunderbolt’s throughput. Pretty well all the 20 Microsoft Surface range supports Thunderbolt. The Microsoft Audio Dock is very good at what it does – a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 dock (10Gbps) with 60W upstream charging, up to two monitors, and Microsoft Teams-certified mics/speakers.īut, step too far outside its comfort zone, and you will wish you bought a dedicated Thunderbolt 3 or 4 dock sans mics/speakers.
