Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my Surface Pro but I would get frustrated because it would only plug one USB port at a time so with the docking station I can plug multiples in and its way more efficient when trying to move files from one USB plugin to another. Its is very simple to use and it works great to charge your tablet while playing games or getting work done.

I was using an HP 3005 port replicator for my Surface Pro. The power cord for the Surface wasn't always charging it so I went to buy another power cord. My local Best Buy was out, but they had this dock marked down to almost the price of the power cord, so I bought it. It works, but so do others. Now that the price is under $100, it makes more sense to look at this product for adding additional ports, monitor, etc. to your Surface Pro.

The Microsoft Surface dock is very nice. It securely locks in your Surface and provides ample ports for connecting external devices. A little expensive when not on sale, but, still, a very nice addition to your Surface.

I got this to expand the number of ports from the single USB 3.0 available on the Surface. Buildwise, it feels very solid, and the sliding mechanism appears to work well. Four USB ports generally are enough for most of my uses (external hard drive, wireless keyboard/mouse, iPhone/iPod, and an available port for other devices). As far as the USB ports, the only negative is that only 1 of the 4 ports supports USB 3.0. The ethernet port is surplussage for me, as I'm always connected via wireless. The only real downside is the monitor situation - the docking station only provides a single mini DisplayPort, which precludes (1) multi-monitor setups through the docking station, and (2) the ability to plug in a monitor without either the HDMI or VGA adapters.

I visit a client three days a week where I need to bring my own computer. Carrying my Surface Pro is great since it is so small and light. I leave the docking station at my Client hooked up to a monitor, keyboard, mouse and network. I just drop in the Surface and I'm ready to work. The performance has been flawless. It's great since I can take the Surface out and go to other users when required and just drop it back in the docking station when I return to my desk. The only area I feel could be improved is the unit is rather chunky to travel with. I think it should fold flat to fit in a briefcase.

I really like the docking station. The added USB portions are a plus. I also like that I can charge my surface, too.

allows my surface 2 pro to charge, have usb drives always attached to have instant access. wired Ethernet. great design

Anything you don't have to fiddle much with after the initial installation and setup gets a win in my book. It looks pretty, really functional and easy to dock tablet in and out of. I really expect highly repeated actions to be painless and this fits the bill. What would be cool is if it can adjust/tilt to almost flat to where you can draw on it while at the same time using a bigger monitor - like the traditional Wacom tablet. Cause sometimes you just need a bigger monitor to see what you are drawing in detail.

This docking station is very easy to use. It's very easy to dock the device. I have used Dell and HP docking stations with my previous laptops and have never felt the docking was as smooth as it should be. With this docking station, just drop in the Surface Pro 2 and slide in the connections on the side. I never had any problems. The wired network port provided by the docking station is helpful.

I keep this at the office where it is attached to a usb keyboard, display port to vga, and ethernet. Pair your surface pro with a lightweight touch cover and bluetooth arc mouse, and you'll find yourself double-checking your bag on the train, because you won't believe your surface pro can be that light.

it is very good to use. but I do not like the APPs all show up. too much informaiton

I have my surface connected to a 32" Visio flat panel on my desk. The docking station makes it simple to go from a bunch of connected components to a portable tablet. Also have a 1TB hard drive and a DVD writer permanently attached to the dock, along with a USB hub to add more PORTS! The TV is connected through the HDMI interface. Everything works seamlessly - also have wireless headphones for when I need to be considerate...

Simple to use. Provides multiple ports for additional equipment and charges Surface while docked.

Great to have everything plugged in and just place the tablet there. Then it all of a sudden becomes my home computer....plugs right into a larger screen as well.

I recently needed to upgrade my computer system due to age and performance issues. This docking station is the perfect complement to my Surface Pro 2 system.

Works great, sturdy, exactly as pictured. A bit expensive for an accessory. I bought this as a gift for a friend and no complaints.

This device is simple and a great accessory. I keep this docking station at work and it enables me to carry my surface into meetings and home at night without having to fuss with cables. I also keep the screen on for a second touchscreen experience that compliments my mouse/keyboard work.

Having 4 extra USB ports (one being 3.0) and an Ethernet port has been excellent. This was a great addition to my work desk.

This docking station works well with connecting my Surface Pro into my home system.

I like this better then other bands, mostly as it keeps the Surface in an dock and all connections are made when its locked in vs pluging in usb ports.
