7/19/2023 0 Comments Microsoft surface pro 4If you’re using a system with a USB-C plug (like the 2015 MacBook), you will need to pay for and travel with a separate USB-C converter to use these peripherals, and pray you don’t lose it. Instead, what we have are USB 2 and USB 3 peripherals, which use a larger and non-reversible plug. So why doesn’t Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book include a USB-C port?įor starters, USB-C is more forward-leaning than anything, as none of us actually have any USB-C peripherals. New high-end phones, including Microsoft’s Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, likewise use USB-C in a hybrid fashion: Using a Continuum dock, these phones can drive video-out up to 1080p and multiple USB peripherals (keyboard/mouse/storage), all while powering the device. Other premium hybrid PCs, like Google’s Pixel C and Pixel Chromebook, use USB-C as an all-in-one expansion port that can, with the proper dongle adapter, provide power, video-out, and even storage expansion. But for premium devices, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book are missing a few premium and forward-leaning features. Microsoft is pushing its new Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book as premium devices, an excellent strategy that should take some more steam out of Apple’s momentum in the PC market.
