well does not work with my Dell Latitute 5400, the USB port does not provide enough power to the travel hub…

I bought a Surface Travel Hub hoping to use the wired ethernet connection with my new Surface Pro X. While a wired connection works fine on my Surface Book 2 it does not work on the Surface Pro X. All the other connections work fine (hdmi, usb, etc) but not the wired ethernet. Is this a an ARM processor problem?

Thanks for the review. Does this support dual displays for a portable monitor? Can’t seem to find that specific information on the website.

Understand, but I would rather go with this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07YFW2Q9X/?coliid=IAF00E9BDICC8&colid=11JN7Q0Z9FH8J&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Everything for a better price, so you can leave one charger at home and charge everything with USB-C (also phone).

In reply to Axel.

For me, this is not a problem at all! I only carry my Surface Power Supply, it lets me charge my Surface device (with Fast Charging) and I can use the additional USB-A port on the Power Supply to charge my phone and other devices using USB-C, Micro-USB or whatever they need. So I see a couple of advantages with that:

– I only carry my Surface Power Supply, there is no need at all to carry two adapters.
– I can charge my Surface and my Phone at the same time (using only one adapter/power supply)
– Surface Connect port is magnetic and easily connects to the Surface and let’s go if someone falls over the cable.
– Surface Power Supply supports fast charging of your Surface device
– With the USB-A port, I can connect whatever I need (USB-C, Micro USB,…)

So for me, this setup works great when I travel.

“but you can’t charge the laptop you are using the travel hub with.” This is bad, so you still need the Surface cable to charge it.
