The great thing about the USB C dock is that it also charges up the Surface Go. 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. That being said, aside from trying to lock hardware to specific docks to encourage sale of proprietary accessories, it should be possible to make a standard dock that drives a display through USB-C and provides other ports that could work with Continuum phones. ![]() With the Surface Go having USB C and the dock being USB C I have now have full docking station for my Surface Go. I don't think the Dock would work at its current state with anything other than Continuum-supported phones running Windows 10 Mobile. The Microsoft Lumia smartphone connects through the USB-C port on the front and on the back there are 3 USB Type-A ports, an HDMI. 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. Hardware edit The Microsoft Display Dock is a cube-shaped object that measures 2.5 to 2.5 to 1 inch (HWD) and is covered in ports on both the front and the back of the device, and it weighs 8.1 ounces (230 grams). Equipped with a 5-inch 720p HD display, it will be made available on October 8 in green, orange, white and black shades. ![]() ![]() 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. The Lumia 950 XL has a USB Type-C connector - its the new reversible connector for USB that builds on top of USB 3.1. Just ten months after going on sale, it seems the Nokia Lumia 830 will soon exit Microsofts retail line-up, as the company trims its range and focuses on newer devices launched under its own brand.
