Excellent price for this. Turns your Surface 3 into a full desktop PC with plenty of ports and much faster charging. This normally retails for £165.
Currently £89.99 at Microsoft Store online with free shipping and returns.
Also at Currys/PC World - these are no longer available at Currys online but are available in some stores - can't check stock online, so it's luck of the draw. There were 2 in stock at Gateshead Team Valley (I nabbed one) and I saw 1 at the Durham Retail Park store.
NOTE: This is for the Surface 3 ONLY. It will NOT fit the Surface Pro 3 or 4 or earlier Surface 2/RT models.
Ports:
Power supply input
2 USB 3.0 ports
2 USB 2.0 ports
Gigabit Ethernet port
3.5mm audio input/output connection
Mini DisplayPort video output
Security lock slot
NOTE: At MS Store - 1 per customer. Offer ends 2nd Jan or until stocks last.
Instead of one of those I'd rather get a USB 3.0 docking station with USB/video ports
(hmmm those are probably more expensive + won't come with a power cable)
but... when you get a new device you don't have to buy a new docking

I've got a SP3 and looking at doing the same... just so I've got universal compatibility with my gf's laptop etc.

"The mini DisplayPort connection delivers high-definition video resolution of up to 3840 x 2600 DPI."
However, if you need to convert to 1080p HDMI, this is your friend for £7:
