What was this thing called?
Quality, well-constructed, durable add-on if you have wired peripherals to add to your
Surface Pro 4. And unless you happen to have an extra $3,000 on-hand to shell out for a SP4 with a factory-installed TB of memory, it is not only ideal but necessary to attach the same amount of memory in an external SSD and save yourself ~ $1,300.00.
Here is the problem: This product is NOT a docking station. You cannot 'dock' your SP4 because there is no 'dock.' It does have ap nice durable charging cable, (thicker than the one included with your SP4 purchase), and a USB CABLE that leads to a 3-lb block in which to connect your necessary external SSD via USB CABLE and other necessary peripherals ... and that block is connected by yet another CABLE to a power adapter, which is connected to the power CABLE to plug into the wall, (geez, how many cables did I say? I can't really tell; I just have them all wadded up with the extra power adapter and that 3-lb block and my SSD and its CABLE; you get the picture).
I wanted an adjustable single-unit docking station which I could insert my SP4, and with all the same expansion ports, also with a port to dock my SSD, to turn my SP4 into a comfortable work station: A desk top, when that is what I need.
The SP4 has the capability to function at any level and my opinion, the best tablet ever made. It is a shame Microsoft did not have the insight to understand the needs of their clientele.
