Pros:
- With the right mini display adapters it works great. Tested many adapters and only Fosmon brand worked every time (VGA - Fosmon HD1826 Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to VGA Male to Female Adapter, White, or DVI - http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1823-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Adapter/dp/B0056403DE). I have no ties to the company, but I have used a ton of adapters and these just work with everything.
- Dock should be future-proof for Surface Pro 5, 6, etc. as long as they keep the main charging port the same, even if it's a larger Surface.
- Nice having two mini-display ports in the dock over one from the previous generation dock.
- Smaller foot print than previous dock.
- Charges Surface while docked (same as previous gen).
- No mouse lag at all (if you have ever tried a dock that connects through USB and noticed the mouse-lag, you know how annoying that can be)!

Cons:
- Scaling is still whonky, but this is more of a Surface thing than a dock thing. If you dock/undock a lot, be prepared to reboot A LOT. Like every time, unless you don't mind your resolution being all messed up. Microsoft really needs to figure that out.
- Very picky about mini-display adapters. I tried half a dozen and only Fosmon brand would work. With the right ones it does work great, but still it can be a pain figuring out what works.
- Screen occasionally will flicker very briefly if you unplug and replug from USB ports.
