$85 Solid Dock Fits Notebook Accessories

At first, don't be surprised when you feel the weight of this thing. It's heavy (but in a good way) and feels solid. The all-metal construction plus rubber base (don't forget to remove the plastic cover from the rubber base. See Photo 4) lets this unit stay where you put it. The dual connector (miniDP and USB3) plugs in nicely and stays in place very well, so sloppy connections don't keep falling out, and the cable is long enough so you don't have to have a dock right next to your Surface. Everything is easy to install when plugged in, no additional drivers to download. Everything just worked. Video worked well at 2560 x 1080 (LG Ultrawide Monitor) via the HDMI output. The wired network reached 110MB/s from my gigabit network to my NAS. These are the same speeds I see on my Xeon workstation with Intel Gigabit cards, so the network speed is impressive. SD card readers also work very well and USB speeds look good too. Overall I'm very happy with this device and it adds extra flexibility to your Surface without breaking the bank by buying Microsoft branded peripherals. This is the second product I have purchased from this company and both have performed extremely well.
