Will this accommodate BOTH my Surface and iPad simultaneously, with cables?

Without a doubt. I use it for an ultrabook, cables, external drives and even clouthing some times.

There should be no issues. I carry my surface as well as a schoolbook and notepad, plus cables, stationary, and mouse. An iPad and charger will fit with ease.

It should be able to hold them both just fine. I carry my Surface, Bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth mouse and other items all together in it with no problems.

Yes that should work just fine, I actually have my Samsung and Asis tablets underneath mine.

Hello Kathleen. The Mini Displayport / Thunderbolt to HDMI Cable should work with Microsoft Surface Pro since it also has a Mini-Display Port.

I can't think of a way for it to work with an ipad, it only really supports the red/white/yellow vga cord and a pc monitor cord, neither of which can be attached to an ipad, that i know of

Probably yes. I'm using with my Windows Surface and my Ipad and it works really well.

Don't know. I have an iPad but it doesn't have a USB port. Works great with my MS Surface Pro.

I don't have a surface but since it is just like an extension of a USB port it should as long as your surface usb port works.

Yes, I have a Microsoft Surface and I connect with My ViewSonic - 28" LED HD Monitor without any problem.

I don't know what you mean by a surface pad. If you are meaning a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, then yes, it should work fine since all you do is plug it into the USB and the Windows 8 OS will recognize it as an optical drive.

Not certain, but I've solved some compatibility issues by using a dock extender "stub" or cable (I have both types).

I have a Surface Pro 3, and it doesn't work well. The problem is that the unit is designs to use two USB ports and the Surface Pro only has one. To make it work I use a separate power cube from my iPad to power the second USB connection. I think you'd be better off with a drive that has a separate power supply.

It would depend on the size. My Surface works if I use the onscreen keyboard and not the attachable one. An IPOD would probably work. Of course you are working to the side and not in front of you.

definitely, even with the ipad works, and you can charge 2 devices at the same time

Sorry Joykat, this won't work with both. You won't really be able to find a single adapter to work with both because - if memory serves - a surface RT has a mini hdmi port and the type of port on an iMac varies by model. If you know what model you have, I might be able to help you out a little bit more.

I'm sorry, pardon me, I got my stuff mixed up. It may indeed work for a Surface, keep in mind that an original iPad 1 JUST fits in it. So check those dimensions and see if it works for yours. If yours is much longer or much shorter in width or length, you may find that this simply is not a good choice.

This handles more than one device at the same time so I would guess yes. All though I have not tried that... and probably wouldn't since I use only wired keyboards. I have had my cell, speaker and mouse all connected at the same time.
