Microsoft's Surface has the perfect aspect ratio for screens (3:2), imo. Wide screen devices just look wrong. 16:10 is fine, but it still isn't quite right (this is also what Apple uses.)



I very reluctantly gave up my Thinkpad Yoga 2 for a new Surfacebook instead of sticking with Lenovo but I have no regretted the switch yet. Any chance you can recommend a USB C hub that retains a USB-C plug on it that will do DisplayPort out? I have a nice Anker USB-C hub but it only gives me HDMI out and even though it retains a USB-C plug on it it downgrades it to USB 3.0.


There's two Lenovo docks that do this. One has an integrated GPU that I guess you can use if you have thunderbolt, one doesn't. Both provide plenty of displayport/hdmi out.

I think this was it: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Thunderbolt-40AN0135U...

I bought one to use with my HP work laptop at home.


I dont know if I understood your need correctly, but I am using Dell D6000 usb-c dock with two displayport-connected monitors.

Dock works perfectly, cannot say the same on other Dell docks (TB15 and some other).


Unfortunately no, and I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't upgraded their dock to have USB-C ports. I have been holding out on upgrading my dock for this reason.


For anyone wondering, 3:2 is equal to 16:10.67
