I think from the specs I can find for all four tablets (1st and 2nd generation models) is that they cannot. I do believe that they are not wired for it. Power input is only from the power connector with the exception of the battery type cover which uses the data buss connector on the bottom of the tablets for the Pro and Pro 2 only (that cover will not work with the RT models).

It might've just been the official line of what MS told him to say. It's possible that it could charge faster up to a point. It's also possible that battery charging speed also depends on other stuff like temperature and load on the device (affects power draw and temperature), and the user didn't account for those other variables when he measured the charging speed. Age of empires 2 for mac buy.

If a bigger power supply does indeed charge the device faster, it should also mean that there should be a significant difference in charging speed when the device is off/idle compared to when the device is under load (while keeping battery temperature the same). The dock has higher wattage (48W) because it also has to power more USB ports and such. 13.5W (3xUSB3) + 5W (2xUSB2) - 5W (USB charging lost on PSU) and that's 13W more that the old dock has to supply in addition to the 36W for the Surface Pro 3. I'm sure the new dock would have a power supply with about 80W because of that (65W + 18W for 4xUSB3). There's a maximum charging rate that's safe for a battery cell, and I doubt that collectively it is much higher than the 24W for the Surface Pro 4 with Core m3. The power supply has to supply enough power for charging the battery and running the device at the same time. The CPU TDP difference of 10W pretty much accounts for the difference between the 24W and 36W power supply for the different Surface Pro 4 models, and it's likely that the Core i5/i7 models would charge just as fast as the 36W power supply with the 24W one if they are turned off during charging.

The Surface Book, with the extra battery capacity which should mean more cells, maybe able to benefit from a bigger power supply for charging if it charges both the base and clipboard battery at the same time. We already know you can charge the base and clipboard separately with two power supplies. It should be interesting that the following is Apple's line on using higher wattage power supplies for their MacBooks. You can use a compatible higher wattage adapter without issue, but it won't make your computer charge faster or operate differently. Lower wattage adapters will not provide enough power. As for your iPhone, pretty much all portable devices these days can charge faster than the standard USB3 (0.9A) or the standard iPhone charger (1A).

They have even standardized (aside from Apple, of course) on how to request up to 5A (25W!) for charging, though most devices and chargers only support up to 2A or so (including iPhones). So putting a 24W charger for your iPhone won't charge it any faster than using your 12W iPad charger. Raising the amps beyond that causes more problems than benefits, which is why Qualcomm started Quick Charge that lets devices request an increase in voltage (up to 20V compared to standard USB's 5V) in addition to amps. You should clarify. I thought you were saying they stripped the USB port on the device from the core m3 surface. Not having the charging port for the SP4 core m3 and a 24W charger IS unfortunate, but at the same time core m will draw much less power. We wouldn't criticize Microsoft for using a smaller power supply on the Surface 3 vs Pro 3, and core m3 has a similar power budget to Atom.
