The Microsoft Audio Dock is a new way to expand your PC's ports

During the recent Microsoft Event, they announced a new piece of desktop equipment, the Microsoft Audio Dock and yes, you are reading the name correctly, it is a dock, meaning you connect it to your computer and then plug things into it.

With four different ports (HDMI, USB-C x2, and USB-A) and a pass-through PC charger, plus with its built-in Omnisonic speakers that should deliver a premium sound, and with dual forward-facing, noise-reducing microphones and integrated mute control, you’ll hear and be heard clearly in your next discord or game chat. You can get the full tech specs for the device here.

Sadly here in Australia, the device is considered a Surface Business product, which means you can only get it through a handful of providers and most will require an ABN. There are some education locations, but they require a connection to a learning institution. You can find the current list of retailers here.
