Review on Microsoft Surface 3 Docking Station - Enhanced Compatibility, SC EN/XD/ES Hdwr (GJ3-00001) by Ken Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

At this price you should get it!

WOW! I didn't really believe it until I received the item yesterday. If you have a Surface 3, this is a must have. I've been using Surface 3 (Mon-Fri) at work for 3 years. I also have a more powerful laptop that I use as my desktop computer at home, but I needed something portable and slim without the added expense. And the Surface 3 fills the bill. But sometimes I also use the Surface 3 as a desktop at home, so I need its dock. But when it came out, I couldn't justify buying it - too expensive ($200). But 3 years later I stumbled upon it at Revain and after reading the reviews I bought it for $14.99! What theft! Cheaper than charger! Since there are already great reviews, let me add a few more points: 1. It came NEW in its original MS box. I was expecting a major overhaul but was very surprised to see the item was NEW.2. This is a REAL Microsoft Dock for Surface 3. This is not a 3rd party dock. This is a GENUINE Microsoft product for your Surface 3. It fits perfectly!3. It works. All ports worked fine, no problems. And yes, it charges your Surface 3 faster than a Micro USB Type B charger. If your sound doesn't work after docking, you must either (1) restart your Surface 3 after docking, or (2) go to the sound settings and change the audio output. For this price and if you have a Surface 3 then buy it! You will not be disappointed. Very, very recommendable!
