Let us know what you think!
We appreciate hearing your thoughts, questions, and ideas about “ Surface Pro 6 specs, features, and tips”.
I just upgraded from a Surface Pro 2 to a Surface Pro 6. I notice the chargers a little different, but not much. Can I use my old chargers on my new Surface?
Hi Roberta, you can’t use Surface Pro 2 charger to charge your Surface Pro 6. Both devices use different charging interface. There are 2 generations:
1. First-Gen: Supports Surface RT, Surface 2, Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2.
2. Sencond-Gen: Supports Surface Pro 3-6, Surface Laptop 1-2, Surface Book 1-2.
Is there a way to hook up 3 external monitors and my Surface Pro at the same time? I currently use the Microsoft Surface Dock and it allows 2 external monitors, I can hook a 3rd monitor directly to the mini-port, but I lose the capability of having my Surface as a display. ( I use it for staging some of my running apps)
It is the limitation of the 8th Gen Intel processors used in Surface Pro 6 that can only support up to three displays simultaneously.
You can use the DisplayLink dongle like this one from StarTech: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OD37KHG/. You can plug the dongle into the USB port on the dock to seamlessly connect to all the displays when connecting your Surface to the Surface Dock. This solution will not perform well as the native solution, and it will slow down your Surface.
my surface pro6 has the i7-8650u processor and came with a 44W power supply. i want to purchase another one. can i use a 65W power supply or should i just stick with 44W? the 44 seems harder to find.
thanks
Yes, you can use a 65W power supply with Surface Pro 6 and it will work for sure without any issue.
I am unable to open my surface pro. It has been charged but when I press the on button the windows sign appears momentarily in white then disappears.
What multi port docking station works well with a surfacepro 6?
In my experience, the first-party Surface Dock from Microsoft is the only high-performance dock you can use for Surface Pro 6 to deliver up to two additional native display outputs via mini DisplayPort, a headphone jack, an ethernet port, and four USB-A ports.
I’m trying so hard to work off of the main screen. Are there any dual monitor accessories I can use that have three screens? I travel a lot, and this is my main PC while I’m on the road; it would be much easier if I could find a way to make it three screens. Any suggestions? Your information on this product is stellar; thank you.
Surface Pro 6 supports a max number of three display outputs simultaneously. You can either have a Surface display with two external monitors or three external monitors without the Surface display.
For the first scenario, you can connect your Surface to the Surface Dock to connect to two additional monitors.
For the second scenario, you will need to plug the third monitor into the mini DisplayPort on the Surface Pro 6.
To display even more simultaneously displays is using the DisplayLink dongle like this one from StarTech: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OD37KHG/. You can plug the dongle into the USB port on the dock to seamlessly connect to all the displays when connecting your Surface to the Surface Dock. This solution will not perform well as the native solution, and it will slow down your Surface. You can learn more by searching for DisplayLink technology on the web.
Does Surface Pro 6 support eSIM?
Hi Sakari,
No Surface Pro 6 model supports LTE or 5G connectivity, meaning none of them have a SIM slot or E-SIM support.
Why doesn’t the Surface offer the docking stations like they did with Surface Pro 6 bundle integrated with the power supply? It was by far the best options for functionality.
