Microsoft Docking Station for Surface 3

The Microsoft GJ3-00001 is a docking station created for users who want to turn a Surface 3 tablet into a desk-ready computer. Slide the tablet into the cradle, connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and the tablet instantly behaves like a desktop machine that can stay on your desk all day.

This dock provides the ports most workstations still rely on. The Mini DisplayPort lets you drive an external display so spreadsheets, design layouts, or streaming video gain the space they deserve. Four USB connections let you add a full-size keyboard, an external hard drive, and still have room to charge a phone. Two of those USB ports use USB 3.0 technology for faster file transfers, which saves time when backing up photos or large projects.

For offices that demand a steady connection, the Gigabit Ethernet port delivers wired network speed and stability. A 48-watt power supply keeps the Surface charged during long meetings or extended editing sessions, so you can undock and leave without hunting for a charger. The docking station even includes a slot that holds the Surface Pen, helping keep the workspace tidy. At just under two pounds, the unit sits firmly on a desk yet is still easy to move between home and office.
