Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro 3 3Q9-00001, black

There isn't much to say about this dock other than it just works and works well. Since getting the dock I've been using my i7 SP3 as my main workstation in the office and it works pretty damn well. I had previously tried using a few of those USB3.0 Displaylink docks and this is much better. You get much better cable management when you have a large number of devices and it provides a DP1.2 port directly from the Intel GPU for higher resolution displays. I use this with the following setups and have not had any issues. Office: Acer 27" 2560*1440 via Dock miniDP 2x Dell 22" 1680*1050 via Dock USB3 w/Displaylink Adapter KB/Mouse via Dock USB2 ports Gig-e port on 802.1x Corporate Lan via Dock (Some of the USB adapters I've used did not always work properly with 802.1x) Plugable USB 3.0 HUB via Dock USB3 for other accessories ANC9 Noise Cancelling Headphones via Dock Audio Jack Home : Seiki 39" 4K via Dock MiniDP KB/Mouse via Dock USB2 Gig-e via Dock This setup leaves the ports on the SP3 itself free for rapid undocking or connecting flash drives. For the kind of work I do this dock is excellent since it allows me to quickly undock to go to meetings without having to plug and unplug a number of cables. In Short : If you're only looking to use a single external monitor with 1 or 2 external devices this probably won't be worth the money to you, but if you need to quickly dock to a number of external peripherals without any fuss this is well worth the money.

this is very helpful, it just sits in there and you close it, no troubles. it will even work with a type cover on it, just be careful that it stays outside! only issue is the ethernet adapter, it'll go in and out until you update the driver. ** Edit: I've had this product for quite a while now, and I wanted to update my feedback. This dock has stood up very well in the time that I have had it. I bought this dock so I could use my Surface Pro 3 in my office at home as my desktop pc. this dock has been very useful, it makes it very easy to switch between using it as a tablet, and using it to work form home. It had Multiple USB 3.0 ports, an Ethernet port, and a mini Display port. I highly recommend this product to anybody that has a Surface Pro 3, It makes using your surface significantly easier. I am so glad that I don't have to deal with plugging and un-plugging everything on my desk every time I use this.

ORIGINAL (12/23/14): Would have loved this product if the Mini DisplayPort actually worked, because that is the main reason I bought this. Microsoft seems to have made a lot of these with faulty miniDPs so I wouldn't recommend buying this until the issue is fixed. I will probably change my rating once I get a properly functioning unit. UPDATE (1/3/15): I have received the replacement dock and my initial issue with the faulty Mini DisplayPort has been resolved. My dock is connected a 27" HD display via a generic mDP-to-HDMI cable and it looks great. I have a Logitech unifying USB adapter connected to one of the USB ports and both my wireless keyboard and mouse function seamlessly. The dock itself functions great (charges SP3, outputs audio and visual to monitor, transmits wireless signals via the adapter) and was everything I was looking for in a docking station for my Surface Pro 3. However, I still have a few things I dislike/am concerned about in the general setup that I think are important considerations for anyone looking into buying this product: - Windows 8.1 does not have a way to adapt between different DPI settings when the monitor is HD and much larger than the Surface Pro 3 (which is pretty small to begin with). You must either have very large icons and text on your monitor and normal icons/text on your Surface Pro, or normal icons/text on your monitor and tiny icons/text on your Surface Pro. The only negotiation I have found between the two is to lower the Surface Pro's resolution when using the monitor (there is a script on the web that you can use to do this automatically upon docking the SP3. I can try and post the link to it if anyone is interested.) - Because of the issue stated above, I am not sure if Windows 10 will correct the issue or make it worse. I may update this review when Windows 10 is released as a follow up. - I am concerned that although the dock is functioning now, many people seem to experience a sort of "sudden death" in their dock's ability to output via the mDP port. If this happens I will update this review further. If the DPI settings aren't going to be a huge factor for you, this is a solid docking station. Just be wary that there are issues with mDP port failures with these which may be a manufacturing flaw.

This company provides excellent communication with it's clients. I felt secure with the transaction and service I received from Danny. My purchase was exactly wha tI was looking for and the product condition and quality was what I hoped to receive. I will use this company again when I need tech equipment to support my existing systems in the future. I recommend this company.

Tres bon produit. La connectivite est excellente. Un peu chere mais ca vaux la peine

I needed to have the surface pro connected to external monitor for work and have extra ports. This dock is amazing! Does everything! Lots of ports and compact!

Don't know why I didn't get one of these earlier! Very neat and easy to use. Transformed my surface pro for the office. Now I have big screen, keyboard and mouse. cabled internet and all the USB slots one could use. Only glitch so far is that the screen resolution doesn't change automatically when docked or not..but not a big issue at all. Also like the fact that it's apparently upgradable if/when I get a new surface (4).

Malheureusement, le produit n'est pas livré avec le câble d'alimentation.
