Yeah, I did get the dock. Not really used it much yet. I did have some issues initially (didn't detect I had external monitors) but reboot of surface book fixed that. Picked up two dp to mini-dp cables last night and works well with two screens (and laptop screen as well). Using a dell 30" and Samsung monitor. Not tried a 4K screen yet. Not sure if I will put laptop in front with two screens behind/ either side and use keyboard on the laptop, or put the laptop to one side and use keyboard/mouse and two screens. Seems a waste to not use the surface book screen, it's beautiful.
