Surface Pro 3 Desktop Docking Station Mod
Description
Turns Your Surface Pro 3 In To A Desktop Computer By Just Sliding It In Sideways. For This Thing I Disassembled The Original Sp3 Doking Station (Which Was Kinda Hard And Probably Voided The Warranty, But Pfff... Who Cares? Its A Dock...) And Only Kept The Lower Case, Pcb And Connectors. I Hotglued A Usb Extention Cable And A Mini Dp To Hdmi Adapter In The Upper Slots. I Haven'T Been Using The Docking Station For A While, So I Decided To Make An Expermient. Microsoft Claims "The Surface Pro 3, The Tablet That Can Replace A Laptop." It Did! I Don'T Have A Desktop Anymore And Use The Sp3 As My Main Machine Now. Then The Question Came Up: "Can It Replace A Desktop As Well?" I Didn'T Use The Docking Station Because: - It Uses Lots Of Desk-Space (When A Monitor Is Added) - Still Creates A Cable-Salad Ontop Of You Desk - I Had Problems With Scaling Between The Sp3'S Own Display And The 27" 1080P Display - The Typecover Sometimes Gets Caught In The Mechanism I Use This Docking Station For About A Month Now And I Need To Say: It Makes My Desk Nice And Tidy, Is Even Easier Do Slide In Than The Original And Works A Treat With Multiple Monitors. It'S Probably The Smallest And Most Portable Desktop Computer I Ever Had. The Only Problems I Had So Far Were It'S Power Limitations Of A Mobile Cpu And Gpu. I'M Still Working On A Release Button, An Option To Mount It Horizontally (Unterside Of Desk) Or Vertically (Side Of Drawers Like In Pic) And Support For A Regular Charger, So You Don'T Need To Disassemble A Dockingstation.
