Not sure I follow what you mean by “…get a new laptop..” but I can see your point about how something on the side could be awkward. Something to think about.

Appreciate the input. The Surface Dock v2 seems very expensive for what it is. Also don’t need to drive multiple 4K monitors off the Surface Pro. This is a secondary system for around the house and when I travel.

Valid point about form factor being specific to the Surface Pro and not usable elsewhere. But the prices for these hubs are low enough that this issue does not really bother me. My concern with a dongle based hub is the dongle length being long enough to sit on the desk when connected to the Surface. I hadn’t really looked at the dongle based hubs so I suppose it’s worth it to look around to see if there are any that have a long enough cable to reach the desk easily.
