For the current price - £35, this is a very good piece of kit.It's a genuine Microsoft docking station and port replicator, with built in charger.The surface fits in very easily, even with the type cover keyboard attached. The both side slide outwards. place the surface 3 into the dock. Slide the sides back in, and the plugs in the top right slide straight in. Your screen is then held at a good angle for viewing and touching. You can continue to use the cover-keyboard or plug in a normal USB keyboard and mouse, as well as any other devices such as printers, network cables, external hard drives or screens which work with "Mini display port" (not all screens will work with this,

I bought my Surface 3 tablet to replace my ageing RT tablet, I wanted to maximise my usage of it and so i decided to buy a docking station so I could use multiple items on it (hard drive, DVD writer etc.)Buying the dock was the best idea I'd had, it allows me to work on the tablet without dragging half a dozen gizmos in another bag.it works beautifully and the extra USB slots mean i have access to all my portable gadgets.the design is aesthetically pleasing which allows you to situate it anywhere there's a flat surface.All in all a very nice bit of hardware.

For the price this is a really nice piece of kit that does what it says on the tin.One thing I discovered was the video connector (mini video port) is an odd shape and you need a cable with very little surround to use it (the Amazon basics one didn't work for me) Thunderbolt 2 adaptor from lention worked fine.Supplier was good supporting me while I worked through this.Not many usb outs but you can easily and cheaply get a usb splitter so this isn't really an issue.

Following an update, my Surface 3 refused to charge using its plug. I discovered that this was a fault shared by many people. None of the 'solutions' worked and I could only charge the unit by leaving it shut down - if I put a plug in when the battery ran low, it discharged! In desperation, I ordered this docking station. It worked and I rather like it.My discharge problem has disappeared - I could not pinpoint why - but I still use the docking station occasionally.

Well designed product, the two side pieces both slide slightly sideways to release the tablet. Angled design means it does not take up much desk space.Note that the inbuilt mains power supply charges the tablet via its display connector, NOT via the troublesome micro USB connector used by the normal power supply. So if you are having charging difficulties this could be a VERY useful way of getting your tablet charged and working again.

Great item, makes charging your Surface 3 a breeze. I bought this for my father in law as he could end up damaging the micro usb slot and the Dock gives him a place where his Surface can sit.Without instructions, he worked out how to open the dock, pop in the Surface and close it.He’s delighted with the Dock and having the extra USB slots etc is a real bonus.If you own a Surface, you really need the Dock.

Yes the Surface 3 is no longer state of the art but I still use mine on a daily basis. This dock is an absolute bargain compared with the original asking price. Pl;enty of ports and very solid construction.Only downside is the AC Connector which, I think, is supposed to be magnetic but does not form a secure bond. However I dug out an old standard lead which works fine - hence 4 not 5 stars.

Bought this because I was having a problem charging my surface 3 due to a fault. As this takes its power from a mains cable and by-passes the micro port I am able to use my surface again with the added benefit of it charging it too. So not bought for its true purpose which is also a big big plus but non the less enables me to keep using my surface which I couldn't do before.

Fantastic dock for the Surface 3. Really pleased with the quality of it and the number of connections it has. Also charges quickly using the mini displayport which gets around the problem charging with the micro USB port (this seems to be a common problem). Pleasantly surprised with the price too, well worth it.

Great dockng station if you have a surface 3; adds connectivity and charging. The magnetic pen/stylus holder feature is a nice touch, and you can use it with the keyboard attached.....and the price for genuine Microsoft kit is spectacular.

This genuine Microsoft model is a steal. If you have a Surface 3 then this is a must buy item. Loads of ports to extend the tablet making it vastly more versatile. Extremely well made and robust, as you would expect from Microsoft.

I found the product to be very good, some reviewscsaid the power cable was a USA one but that is incorrect. The cable comes with a UK 3 pin plug. It is easy to use and easy to set up. Really pleased. I am now looking for a cover.

Excellent value for money - using now the surface at home just like a desktop as I can easily connect display, HD, keyboard, dvd drive and card reader ... for me it was good alternative to buy a second pc for a fraction of costs

Love this! Genuine microsoft product, worth the price. Only thing, Im UK based and it came with a non UK plug which is sucky but luckily my printer cable fits the dock to use it it whilst I find an adapter! Its a two prong plug.

Purchased the dock for a great price, its so easy to click it in the dock, great design and outputs to my desk monitor and charges so neatly. Lots of usb ports and even a ethernet port..best thing I have got recently
