Perfect accessory for desktop workstation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first Dock I returned because the mini Display Port in the Dock was loose and only made intermittent connection. The replacement has worked very, very well. I'm running two large external monitors through that one port (with a "splitter" device I bought separately), and a host of other USB peripherals. I also use a BT keyboard and wireless mouse when using the Dock. It all works very well. I just drop my SP3 in the slot, slide the side-holders inward and boot it up. Reverse that to take my SP3 with me when I leave. One thing to keep in mind with the Dock is that it is different from a USB hub. With a USB hub the signal from the SP3 goes through your USB 3 port and as such is subject in performance to the demand on the SP3's CPU. The Dock sends its signals through the SP3's charging port and thus uses mostly the GPU thus not being dependent on the varying load on the CPU as with USB hubs. Using the dock allows you a more even performance experience while providing a number of USB 3 and USB 2 ports in addition to the mini Display Port mentioned above. It also charges your SP3 while it's docked...a very NICE piece of equipment!

Good handy to have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turns the surface 3 into a desktop for most tasks. Am currently running a 23" Samsung monitor off this with no problems along with a 128GB solid state backup drive.

It's a snap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Attach to the docking station and bam. I have connection to a second monitor, wired network and external speakers. Just like popping a laptop on a dock. Works great.

Works great to replace a desktop computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have switched all of our sales staff to this instead of desktops or laptops for increased mobility. Have not gone backwards with computing power. These truly are the first tablets that can replace your "traditional computer".

Minimalist
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, it is a docking station. Yes, it holds the surface pro. it's best feature is its recharging capability. Other than that, quite unimpressive. For a docking station, it sorely lacks a variety of ports. I plug a Toshiba docking hub into it so that I can have a greater variety and number of ports for my printer, screens, speakers, etc. If it didn't hold my surface pro so nicely for display, it would be kind of a waste.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Usb ports

Surface Pro 3 Docking Station
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great idea for a stationary setting for your Pro Surface 3. I did not find that for the price this item was necessary to keep with my tablet. Also a bit bulky and might as well carry around a desktop type computer.

Good stand for a tablet

Works just like it should
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is that I sometimes have to reenter my multiple monitors settings but that is probably a windows issue not a hardware issue.

Not what I thought
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought I would use it while at home in my office but it does not charge my tablet at the same time. I returned it because it was not a useful piece of equipment, just took up unnecessary space.
