I compiled some Surface Power supply info here that may be helpful: Surface Book, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, and docking station power supplies

This is Glenn's workstation we built together one weekend. I've been helping folks around the world build ergonomic workstations with my open-source design. Find out more: Charity Auction Surface Battlestation

Hi what makes you think 16V will be faster than 12V? I reckon the output current of your luggage bag is important in determining charge rate. Does the luggage bag battery pack have a current limiting device? The dc-converters in the Surface which manage the charging of the individual Li-ion...

Mike I think with the options I listed you'll certainly have a better user experience than what you have now. If there is a Best Buy or similar retailer near you, you could always bring your laptop along and ask the sales rep to plug into various monitors to see how it works "out of the box"...

:Mike, SB stands for SurfaceBook. When I say get a monitor to match, it is matching the dpi, not the resolution so you don't have to tweak things. Basically you want the effective pixel size on one monitor to match the pixel size on the other monitor. The number of pixels matters far less. If...

Hi Mike, great question. The screen resolution is actually not very relevant at all. To make a good choice here, it is everything but the resolution that is important. Counterintuitive I know given that basically all marketing focuses exclusively on resolution and skimps on everything else. Its...

Hi Cricket1001, I replied on the other thread. We also did a conversion for the old clamp-dock but its fairly complex.

Surface power supplies are confusing. Which supply to use with which device? Which should you buy as a spare? I list it all out to hopefully help the community: https://dancharblog.wordpress.com/2016/12/10/surface-book-pro-3-pro-4-and-docking-station-power-supplies/ 102 watt 90 watt 65 watt 48...

Thanks! A few folks have contacted me about these kits so I'm happy to announce that I'm making them available at-cost for the community. Just PM me for details.

Hi here is a write up I did a while back comparing several docking options: Multi-monitor docking with Surface Pro 3/4 and Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro The Plugable docks worked quite well in the lab with no visible mouse delay. But the MS docks are clearly the best with a single connector.

mmenzie, sorry for the delay, I don't check in here that often. Were you able to follow the directions on the blog article? Hi-dpi Multi-mon with Surface Pro 3 – dpi-scaling tweaks Ruudfood, glad you got it resolved. It is possible to get it all working with the latest Intel drivers using the...

Finally got around to posting my DIY to build the new VESA mounted 3-in-1 dock that fits both the SP3 and SP4. Preserve your Microsoft dock warranty and build an ergonomic workstation with just a few dollars worth of plastic and nuts and bolts: Surface Pro 4 / Surface Pro 3 – DIY VESA-mounted...

Updated regkey to v5. Should work with more SB models now: Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 - high-dpi multi-monitor optimization regkey for alternate 3:2 aspect ratio resolutions - danchar - Site Home - MSDN Blogs If v4 did not work for you on SB, please try this new key and let me know the result.

So I'm a huge docking and multi-monitor fan and the guy behind the crazy 3-in-1-Dock project shown on youtube. I wanted to understand how folks use docking stations at their desk specifically with the Pro 4 and whether folks prefer the older clamp-style docking station or the new brick-shaped...

Agreed. I love the 3:2 aspect ratio. 16:10 on the desktop works for me as well. I guess since I have three of those monitors that makes it 48:10. Extreme widescreen lol.

This thread got me really curious about your setups. Why are you not using the built in monitor while docked? Would you mind filling out a quick survey on this? http://www.instant.ly/s/4Ut7b Its fascinating to me all the different ways people use their laptops, and I want to make the...

So I'm a huge docking and multi-monitor fan - hence my user name and various surface hacking projects I've posted on here over the last year or two. I wanted to understand how folks use docking stations at their desk with the Surface Pro 3 vs Pro 4 and Surface Book and what issues they are...

Theartiszan, which SB model do you have? I got it working on a SB at work, but there may be some nuances in the drivers depending on the discrete GPU and Intel CPU setup you have. I haven't had a chance to test on all the different models yet. If you can spare the time, would you mind creating...
