Get to know the Surface Dock and Surface docking stationsYou can use a docking station to transform your Surface into a full desktop PC. Use it to connect your Surface to a full-size monitor, Ethernet connection, external speakers, and more while also charging your Surface.
There are two types of docking stations available for Surface:
Surface Dock (compatible with Surface Book, Surface Pro 4, and Surface Pro 3) is a port replicator with a compact design that doesn't require you to dock your Surface. Your Surface simply connects to a Surface Dock through a single magnetic SurfaceConnect cable. Surface Dock supports high-speed transfer of video, audio, and data. Its compact design gives you flexibility and keeps your desktop clutter-free.
The docking stations for Surface Pro 3, Surface 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro hold your Surface in a frame. To dock your Surface, you place it in the frame of the docking station and slide the sides of the docking station into the sides of your Surface.
