Microsoft Surface 65W Charger — Essential 15V Surface

The Microsoft Surface 65W Charger is a Surface Connect power adapter built around Microsoft Power Supply Model 1706. It delivers 15V at 4A, providing 60W directly to the Surface device, while an additional 5W USB-A output brings the combined adapter rating to 65W. Microsoft officially associates Model 1706 with multiple Surface Pro, Surface Laptop and Surface Book configurations.

Need More Power Than a 44W Surface Charger?

The key difference is the Surface output. Model 1706 supplies 60W at 15V/4A, compared with the lower 39W device output of Microsoft's Model 1800 charger. This higher power class is specified for Surface devices whose minimum charging requirement is 60W, including several newer Surface Pro and Surface Laptop generations.

The power breakdown is straightforward:

• 60W Surface device output
• 15V DC output voltage
• 4A output current
• 5W USB-A auxiliary charging output
• 65W combined adapter rating
• Magnetic Surface Connect connection

Which Surface Models Use Model 1706?

Microsoft lists Model 1706 as the power supply for Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro 7+, Surface Pro 8, Surface Pro X and Surface Pro 9, all with a 60W device output specification.

The same 60W Model 1706 is also specified for Surface Laptop 3, Surface Laptop 4 and Surface Laptop 5.

Selected Surface Book configurations use it too, including the original Surface Book with NVIDIA graphics and the Surface Book 3 13.5-inch configuration without a discrete NVIDIA GPU.

Why Does Microsoft Call It 60W and Sellers Call It 65W?

Both descriptions refer to the same power supply configuration. The Surface Connect output provides 60W, while the charger's USB-A port provides another 5W at 5V/1A. Microsoft confirms that Surface power supplies below 100W with a USB-A charging port provide 5W through that port.

Check Wattage Before Replacing Your Charger

Surface Connect plugs can look alike even when the charger wattage differs. Check your current adapter for Model 1706, 15V and 4A before ordering, particularly if your Surface model was available with different hardware configurations.
