![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, it truly is a remarkable feat to have something this small and light act as a desktop, but nimble enough to be a tablet. Although the $240 ($199 plus HDMI adapter) is even more money, if you are in the market for a desktop replacement that can also sub as a laptop and tablet, there is nothing that comes close. In conclusion, I am delighted with the Docking Station and anyone picking up or considering a Surface Pro 3 should give it serious consideration. This change means you need either connected speakers or headphones to hear anything from the Surface (perhaps there is a way to override it I have not really looked yet). The only downside so far is when you enable the Docking Station it takes over the sound from the Surface Pro 3. I am considering getting a Samsung S27D850T 27-Inch at 2560 X 1440 Resolution, which should run a bit better than 4K. This limitation is a common complaint that a many laptops and Macs suffer from although at least one reader told me you could run two displays within the 4K and achieve 60Hz.Ĭurrently, I have the Surface Pro 3 outputting to a traditional IPS 1080P display, which looks 'ok.' Fonts can be thin sometimes, and the output is not as nice compared to my Dell XPS 27. The Surface Pro 3 can push up to a 4K monitor however, most reports note that it is limited to 30Hz (instead of the preferred 60Hz). You do need to pick up a mini DisplayPort adapter for HDMI, which is another $40 (or $80 if you want to use two external monitors). 48W charging system for charging and usage at the same time. ![]() Five USB ports (three USB 3.0 two USB 2.0) the Surface's 3.0 USB port is also exposed for six in total.Mini DisplayPort for HD video of up to 4096x2304 resolution.Gigabit Ethernet port for up to 1 Gbps wired network speeds.Such things as the volume keys, the USB 3.0 and mini Display Port are all available to use, adding to the already generous port selection on the Station itself. For this reason we don't recommend this approach to our customers - the layered tape method works just as well.Microsoft designed the Docking Station so that everything on the Surface Pro 3 is fully accessible when docked. The part is large and won't print on typical desktop printers unless you split the model in half and glue or tape it together after. stl file to a number of 3rd-party 3D-printing services like and they will ship the finished adapter to you. Here are the downloadable plans to 3D-print your own adapter if you think you really need it: The offset is about 2mm for the 40 pin SurfaceConnector and 5mm for the USB/displayport connectors. Here are a few side-by-side photos showing the difference in alignment of the connectors on SP3 vs SP4 vs SP2017: Here is a diagram showing where to put the tape: You can do the same thing for free by layering a few pieces of black tape strategically, or just dock it carefully so you don't jam the connector. All it does is adjust the angle of the SP4 so it is easier to fit in the old clamp style dock. ![]()
