Useful adapter - one less thing

Surface Pro devices have many advantages - they combine the powerful capabilities of a Windows laptop and the form factor of a very portable tablet (with or without an additional keyboard cover) . But before the 8th gen, they had one major drawback - they didn't yet use USB-C for connecting OR charging. While the Surface's connection port works well (and is well magnetized, making it quick to connect), it's not that easy to find. I/O via a standard USB-A 3.0 port and a mini DisplayPort is fine, but it would be nice not to carry around an extra cable, especially since you probably already have a USB-C cable and charger. for your phone. Enter this adapter - it sits snugly in the Surface's connector port (it's held in place by magnets, like a regular charger) and converts that port into a USB-C charging port. Now any 15V/3.0A (45W) USB-C charger can charge your Surface Pro! And, even better, when the power is connected, you get an extra USB-A 3.0 port for data transfer. It might seem like a small thing, but the ability to combine your computer and phone into one charger is great, and it really helps make the things you need to carry with you every day lighter. A must for anyone with finishes up to 8th gen!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
