    Hi AISHWARYA

    Surface Book 2 can charge through USB-C, and the Surface USB4 Dock provides up to 65W of passthrough power.

    That said, whether it works well depends on which Surface Book 2 model you have:

    • 13" without Nvidia GPU: minimum requirement is 39W, so the dock should be able to charge it.
    • 13" with Nvidia GPU and 15": Microsoft lists 95W for those models, so a 65W dock may charge slowly or may not keep up while the device is under heavier use. Please note that lower-wattage USB-C chargers can charge slowly or sometimes not at all.

    So the short answer is: yes, it can charge a Surface Book 2, but for the higher-power models it may not be ideal as the main charger. If you want the best charging performance, the original Surface Connect power supply is still the safer option.

    Thank you for your time and hope you have a great day

    Surface USB4 Dock can charge compatible Surface devices through USB-C with up to 65 W passthrough power.

    However, Surface Book 2 does not support USB-C charging. It uses the proprietary Surface Connect charger instead. Because of this, Surface USB4 Dock cannot be used as a charger for Surface Book 2.
