Hi, my name is Richard. I am a product owner here at Plugable
Technologies. We're a Washington-based US company. We
make all sorts of USB, Thunderbolt and charging devices
to help you connect this with that. Uh, so today we have the,
uh, Microsoft surface laptop 4, it has two choices of processor.
So you have an AMD processor that's available, or an Intel
processor.
This is 70% faster than the previous version. You also get
up to 19 hours worth of charge on the battery.
This laptop is going to give you two ports for connectivity. You
have a USBA port and a USB-C port. USB-C will support Display
port Alternate Mode for extending displays and power
delivery for charging the laptop.
Now, this laptop will not support THUNDERBOLT 3
Thunderbolt 4 or USB 4. So that's one thing to keep in mind
when you're looking for devices that would be compatible with
this.
So now that we've had to look at the laptop itself, let's talk
about some ways where you can expand the USB-C port to add
more devices to this laptop. Uh, the first thing that we're going
to show you is a Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station that will allow
you to connect to displays. And I know I said that Thunderbolt
3, isn't supported here, but this Docking Station is
backwards compatible for USB-C mode. So it will totally work
with this laptop.
So we also have the UD-CAM, which is a small Docking Station
that will support one Display and is easily concealable behind
a display. So you can declutter your desk and to get better wire
management.
And then we have a portable version of a 7 in 1 hub that
will allow you to connect displays and all sorts of
devices on the go.
So for a really good high end solution for this laptop, we're
going to suggest the UDC1,
Uh, now we have two displays that are connected here.
You can see if I pull this window, I can easily go back and
forth between all of those displays.
So the UDC1 will support two 1080p displays when connected to
Display port, uh, at 60 Hertz, it will also support one 4k
display at 30 Hertz.
So UDC1 on, will charge the laptop using the USB-C port and
power delivery.
Along with that, you're going to get a gigabit ethernet
connection, three USB, 3 ports, 2 USB-C Data only ports,
Another alternative, if you're looking for something that's
going to get rid of, a lot of clutter on your desk with wires
would be something like our UDCAM Docking Station. Now this
is a USB-C Docking Station that will work with the surface
Laptop 4, and this has a bracket. So you can actually
mount this device on the back of a Display and bundle the wires
to get rid of a lot of clutter on your desk.
The UDCAM will support one HDMI 4k Display at 30 Hertz or lower
resolutions at 60 Hertz.
This doc will also charge the laptop like the previous one.
It has four USB 3 ports, gigabit ethernet and a 3.5 combo audio
port.
You're looking for a more portable solution. We suggest
the 7in1 hub. This can support one 4k display at 30 Hertz or
lower resolutions at 60 Hertz.
We have three USB ports an SD Card reader and an HDMI
connection.
Unlike the previous docs that we took a look at the 7in1 hub will
not charge the laptop directly, but it does have a USB-C
pass-through port that will allow you to connect a USB-C
adapter in order to charge the laptop.
Hopefully, now we've given you a couple of different options for
connecting and expanding the ports for the new Surface Laptop
4. If you have any questions, please contact our support team

for watching.
