I have a Surface Pro 2 with 256gb on pre-order. I currently have a Dell XPS13 for work and use a Targus usb dock in order to connect to a monitor, ethernet, keyboard, and mouse. My question isn't whether or not this will work, but whether anyone is doing it currently with the original Surface? I like the idea of the new dock, but I take a lot of notes at work and would like the SP2 to replace my XPS13 and Note 8.0. My thought is that I'll just use the Targus dock, extend the display, and with the SP2 sitting on the desk I'll still be able to take notes and easily pick it up, disconnect the usb, and go. My one concern is that there is no way to charge through the usb. My thought was that I'd be able to get a cable that connects to the charging port of the surface and then to the usb port on the dock, that way I could charge it and be connected to the dock at the same time. Is this possible?
I know it is a little far fetched, but I'm poking and hoping at this point. Thank you for any constructive input.
