Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3 Docks on sale at Amazon

I have believed for some time that the future of computing is built on docking stations where we can easily transition from a highly portable and capable tablet on the go to a full desktop setup with multiple monitors, full size keyboards, access to a wired network as well as other desktop peripherals.

When Surface came to market one of its primary accessories after the keyboard and the Surface Pen was the Surface Dock.  That dock has been upgraded along the way and the current models of Surface, the Pro 3 and Surface 3, both have their own docks for this purpose.

Normally, they each retail for $200 but right now they are both on sale at Amazon with significant savings.

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Docking Station is available for 42% off - $116.75 - a savings of $83.24 and is eligible for Amazon Prime.

It has the following ports available:

  • Ethernet port

  • Mini DisplayPort

  • Three USB 3.0 ports

  • Two USB 2.0 ports

The Microsoft Docking Station for Surface 3 is available for 37% off - $126.73 - a savings of $73.26 and has free shipping available to areas that are eligible.

It has the Ethernet and Mini DisplayPort like the Surface Pro 3 dock does but it only has two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports.

Right now the online Microsoft Store is only offering $40 off of these same two docks.

If you have been contemplating getting a dock for your Surface Pro 3 or Surface 3 this is a tremendous deal and well worth the investment.

Is the savings enough to entice you to get the dock for your Surface Pro 3 or Surface 3?

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
