Great video, just what I was looking for. Can't decide if I want to go TB4 or surface dock route! Lol want to TB4 performance, but docking with SD2 would be a breeze
Hi - we can put a custom package together for you that includes both options. If you do gaming and foresee an external GPU in your future, the TB4 option is probably a better choice. You can use both options together - Dock into the SD2 on the bottom, then manually plug in the eGPU up top. It's not the cleanest setup, but it does work. Shoot us a note through the verticaldocks website and we can go througha few options with you.
Thanks for the review Cameron! We have Vertical Docks for all Go, Pro, Book and Laptop Studio models. The cooling kit is an optional upgrade and most folks won't need it, but if you want the absolutely best performance and don't mind some fan noise, it helps the Intel CPU/GPU maintain turbo boost clock speeds indefinitely.
Hey, awesome content on the SP9 so far. I'm actually planning to pick up one this cyber monday and was wondering which config you got. Was it 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD? Also, given the software changes you made to accommodate the eGPU, do you have to revert any of the settings when using the SP9 as a standalone? Thanks and keep the good content coming🙏🏾
I got the 16 256 yes... also none of those egpu settings I changed should affect your day to day usage at all. (disabling core isolation should improve performance generally across the board actually)
Hi - We can ship you VESA arms if you really want, but it is usually cheaper to order those from a local retailer. Feel free to shoot us a note and we can recommend a few different options for you.
