Review on 🔌 SIIG Mini-DP Video Dock - Mini DisplayPort to HDMI/DisplayPort, USB 3.0 Hub & Gigabit Ethernet Port for Macbooks, Surface Pros | JU-H30212-S1 by Kevin Bigelow

Does everything as described. Small light. Fits on the small desk I work at when I travel (see picture) and fits easily in my computer bag. Provides me with 2 USB ports to which I connect mice, external keyboards, printers, etc. The LAN port provides a wired and secure connection. And 2 display ports (conventional HDMI and DP 1.1) allow me to connect most external monitors, TVs and projectors. There are 2 cables to connect to Surface, you can use one or both at the same time. One plugs into the Surface's USB port, and the other plugs into the Mini DisplayPort. In my photo only USB is connected (black cable); My external monitor is connected directly to the surface (white cable) and not through the SIIG dock. Cons: (minor) I wish there were more flexible cable connectors. The current ones are rigid and sometimes difficult to place cleanly in some situations. IMPORTANT! This particular model only works with Surface 1, 2 and 3. Newer Surface 4 models use USB-C ports as well as the 1.2 standard for the DP port. , so later on Surfaces this dock will not work with them. If you need USB-C or higher than DP, check the SIIG website for newer docking stations like the JU-H30B11-S1 model. (Revain won't let me link to it directly.) I love SIIG's products and have used them on many laptops and desktops for years. Well designed, good prices and they work! Just plug them in. Good.
