The good news about this Power Adapter; it works, looks, and fun...ctions as good as the OEM. The cord is plenty long for most all public environments. The plastic on the plug and box feels a little cheap, but otherwise a great value when compared to the original equipment. I would buy this all over again, without question.

UNIT PROVIDED IS NOT AS PICTURED AND NOT MICROSOFT. Unit sent does charge, but is twice as big (length, width and height) as the Microsoft charger, and even power cord is different. The auction is misleading....and if you want a third party charger, there are LOTS of cheaper auctions. THIS IS NOT AN "OFFICIAL MICROSOFT " CHARGER!! BEWARE...and save money elsewhere if you don't care who makes it.

I purchased this charger as a second, backup one for my Surface Pro 3 and so far I have absolutely no complaints. Although it is slightly longer in length than the one I received when I purchased my Surface Pro, that is not necessarily a bad thing because it is allows for greater range of mobility. The rest of the charger seems slightly compacter as well. The centerpiece is certainly lighter in weight and the outlet cord thinner. Other than this slightly changes in form, it is nearly identical to the manufacturer-provided cord. Like my regular charger, the outlet cord is detachable from the rest of the charger at the main battery. The plug-in is magnetic and still pulls itself in when near the Surface Pro, so there is no need for manual insertion. The charger also has a USB port, so even if your outlet is occupied with the charger of your Surface, you can still charge your iPod or phone. Also, the price struck me as extremely reasonable, considering the one offered by Best Buy was nearly double it in price. I have not noticed any difference in the time it takes to reach a full charge for my computer, but I will admit I have not bothered to time the two. Thus far, I have had no issues with this product and am glad I purchased it.

I managed to travel across the country with my M...S charges, MINUS the A/C cord. I didn't even know that non-MS Surface Pro chargers and cords were being produced. I was happy to discover this. So, the choice, do I overnight the A/C cord, or just realize that I could use another charger after I get home from my trip? Well I bought this, and requested Prime overnight delivery. All arrived on time and the device worked fine. My heart did stop for a moment when I inserted the A/C cord and there was no friction (not interference fit) and the cable would not remain connected. Well, you have to push a little harder for the cord to seat into position. Like the original, the charger also provides a USB charging output as well. Both the A/C cord (from the wall) and the D/C cord (to the tablet) are both much longer than the original which may be very useful to many.

I lost my charger on a trip and haven't been able to use ...my Surface. Needless to say I've been missing it. I found this charger on Ebay and decided to take a leap of faith. So far so good!
