User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with the vesa vertical dock
Answer:	It comes with a power adapter, and the thunderbolt cable is built-in, not removable.
Question:	Can I connect single 4K monitor at 120hz via this dock to surface book
Answer:	Yes
Question:	is this compatible with surface pro
Answer:	Just to clarify - the question is does this CHARGE my laptop via "USB 3.0"? The answer is NO, the USB 3.0 specs do not provide for charging the laptop, doesn't matter who the manufacturer of the laptop or dock is. Those that replied YES are referring to USB-C which is a different specification. Finally - the XPS13 has been around for about 10 years, so the older models do not have USB-C. Read and understand questions before you answer.
Question:	is this compatible with surface pro
Answer:	That actually depends on which of the docks under this listing you are asking about. The docks that connect via USB Type-C will actually power the notebook without having to plug the notebook in as well, so you just have to plug in the power cord for the dock. Those, of course, require that you have a notebook with a USB Type-C port and that the notebook's power requirement is no higher than 150W for the "Dual Display" model (the Dell XPS 15 9550, for example, falls under these conditions) or 180W for the totally-not-worth-it "Triple Display" model. The docks that connect via USB 3.0, however, do no such thing, and the laptop and the dock both need to have their separate power cords plugged in.
