Snagged a cheap Surface Pro 3 Recently?
Well if you now have a Surface Pro 3 and want to use it as a full Desktop then you need a Docking Station.
EDIT - NOW £39.97
These are over £160 rrp and you can pick one up from Currys or Pc World for less than £50
It's £49.97 which makes it cheap enough to have even if you don't use it much.
The Surface Pro 3 is a power house of a Pc and the Docking Station makes it a little more versatile.
In stores only, I picked one up today but it scanned through till as lower price.
You can use the Dock on the Surface Pro 4 - requires adapter available through Microsoft
Instore deal only.

Why is this being voted cold? This is nearly £100 elsewhere.
More USB ports, another DisplayPort and Ethernet - Solid dock, our office is fitted out with em.
Ooh and it makes a satisfying noise when snapping your Surface in and out!

Maybe stick a half eaten Apple on the back lol.
Hot from me.

Probably voted cold from people who haven't bagged a cheap Surface Pro 3 from the currys, pc world ex demos sale.
Fact is, it's over half the price of everywhere else.
I thought this was a deal website.
Turns out it's obviously not.

Do you have the sku number for the docking station please
Basher Walls
30 Dec 15#4
mmmm - just check receipt.
Sku - 115768
Price is not showing a markdown either - just £49.97
I got mine from Pc World, Kingston Park but I am sure I saw them in Newcastle store on Northumberland street yesterday and sure stock is a little more plentiful so you could try Silverlink as I know its near you.
Saw you bagged a ex demo from Silverlink in the other thread. :smiley:
Oh, typing this on my new Surface Pro 3 myself. lol
I would argue this is better than the new Surface Pro dock which has serious Displayport compatibility issues.

that's a good price, might have a look tomorrow at my local

Shame they are not online - currently torn between pro 3 and 4 as my next "laptop" so this would cover both
Basher Walls
30 Dec 15#11
Stock in the north east at least seems easy to get.
Not many buy it as they don't see the purpose.
All the better for bagging a bargain.
chenzz to Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#24
Would you please share with us how to check the stock?
thanks.

great price and a very helpful device if you own a surface pro 3.

30 Dec 15#13
Did you go looking after I mentioned it in the Surface Pro 3 deal?!
Basher Walls
30 Dec 15#14
Kind of.
Someone mentioned Gumtree, so searched and bagged a Surface Pro 3 I5 128gb with Type cover for £300 - still in shock about that, then remembered you mentioned £49.97 so thought I would pop in as I remembered seeing one in my local.
Decided to post the deal as its a great price and worth sharing.
Cheers for the heads up. :P

I have one of these and they are great, but please be aware they are specific to the Surface 3 and are now eol.
There is a new model but that's not a proper docking station - more like a port replicator.
Basher Walls
30 Dec 15#16
No this is specific to the Surface PRO 3
The Surface 3 one is different and about £90 at the moment in PC world/Currys
You are right about the new Port replicator which looks like a power block.

I love this quote! Sums up a lot of deals on HUKD nicely :wink: Not sure I'd agree that £50 is cheap though...
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#18
lol
I know just what you mean. :smiley:
Will I use the dock a lot? no but for £50 it is worth having for when I do need it as I am never going to get it cheaper.

31 Dec 15#19
So what cable what you need to connect to monitor display port ? And again a wireless or wired keyboard too . How easy is it too undock . I have a surface pro 4
DarrylJohn
31 Dec 15#20
I'd be tempted by the dock if I didn't already have a 5 year old main computer haha. The surface pro 3 was just an upgrade for me for the tab s 10.5 I had (returned to amazon for price I paid). Probably work out around £200 more for the SP3.
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#21
You need a free adapter for use with Surface Pro 4 - Contact Microsoft for that as the Pro 4 is slimmer.
Super easy to undock - just slide sides of dock off the Surface.
Ports included -
Security lock
Power
Mini Display Port - a cable to covert to HDMI costs about a fiver on ebay.
2 x USB 2.0
2 x USB 3.0 on rear 1x USB 3.0 on side
Gigabit Ethernet
Audio headphone jack
So add a USB mouse/keyboard combo and a Tv (display port adapter) and you are good to go.
Could come in useful to have near TV in living room or a Tv in a spare room to utilise as a desktop.

31 Dec 15#22
If you consider it comes with an additional charger it's a decent deal.
chenzz
31 Dec 15#23
It's really an amazing deal, now the question is, how can I check the stock? Please.
Thanks.
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#25
Go to local store with the Sku number listed in first post and ask.
If they have it, great. If not they can check local stores.
I have been in four stores over last few days and all had stock on shelf in north east.

Just bagged last one in Portsmouth Currys. Assistant said he'd looked the other week and had none. It said there was 1 on the system. He went off and found it !!!!!! Went through till at £39.97 as well.
Massive thanks OP
chenzz to adski
31 Dec 15#34
I've called 0344 currys headquarter line and was suggested there is one in stock in Crystal Peak near Sheffield area.
And I GOT IT.
for 39.97! What a steal!
Many thanks!
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#35
I will update to £39.97
Feel a little ripped off now. Lol
As for which stores - use those things below your waist and go to a store and ask!
Or ring customer services with the Sku.
I know you like deals fed to you but seriously!
polarone001 to Basher Walls
31 Dec 151#38
Thanks Bassher--wouldn't have got this deal without your post--good job!
Now to do something like this with it

Called customer service to check but they didn't seem too helpful and quickly said they're out of stock. I'll go check a shop..
Interloper
31 Dec 15#37
No stock left anywhere in North East. Guy also said system is showing remaining ones in UK at £79.99.

31 Dec 15#39
Not available in either of the leeds stores. Still around £90 ... thanks anyway
faisal_uk to spudp800
31 Dec 15#42
Did you get them to check this in store?
Was just about to try myself!
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#40
The £90 ones are the Surface 3 docks not the Pro ones.
You asked a staff member without the sku and they searched for surface dock.
I am sure some stock in North East on the right sku, but I could be wrong.

31 Dec 15#41
Niiiiice! Just grabbed last one from Croydon. Thanks for heads up as there was no indication in store that it was reduced.

wakkaday
31 Dec 15#46
Managed to get one but they tried to make a thing that the power adapter was missing and they couldn't find it . But with persistence and me hovering around the found the power supply . Cost me 40£. Apparnrtly beckton is showing 1 and Shrewsbury also showing 1 working ringing custmertservice rather then driving around . Now can anyone advise how I can get the surface 4 piece
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#47
Just contact Microsoft, they will send an adapter free i believe.
Click on send surface in for repair and then click on the accessories tab
say you need a surface pro 4 adapter
or you could just ring them

31 Dec 15#48
Managed to find one at Macclesfield. They had two but one was scanning at £165 and the one I reserved in another shop at £39.
Cheers agin OP. Another bargain.
Basher Walls
31 Dec 15#49
so it looks like it is the display model with this sku then.
Either way, pleased some are about and people are bagging a bargain.
OrribleHarry to Basher Walls

Correct mine was display, but it's boxed and unmarked.

31 Dec 15#54
The phone line I rang told me where the stock could be but said because it was clearance they couldn't reserve. So I definitely got lucky :smiley:
OrribleHarry
31 Dec 15#55
Yes thanks OP!
There is one in stock at workington and also one in barrow-in-furness if anyone is nearby?

31 Dec 15#57

Got the last display unit in Canterbury. £39.97, been thinking about getting the new one for ages but for that price, absolute bargain!

Tested mine and it works a treat, the gigabit network was the main reason I wanted one. Tested copying a 12gb mkv and it averaged 112mb/s compared to 25mb/s wirelessly.

You were lucky too then. They told me that they had none there and he'd look a week or so ago but their system already told me they had one. He found it out back though.

Got the last one in West Drayton. Southall was out of stock and Ruislip staff didn't bother checking, I didn't have the time to wait to persuade them to either. Other stores such as Slough and Twickenham still have 1 each I believe. Thanks for the heads up!

Seems if you find a helpful member of staff who will check the local stores for the right sku then you struck lucky.
Finding the Surface Dock yourself in store seems more likely than finding the helpful member of staff it seems.....

Just purchased last one from Slough, price £39.97 new in box sealed - thanks OP for the tip - great buy...8):laughing:

Thanks OP. Got 1 from Wisbech today, they had 2 so might still be 1 available. Cambridge had 1 as well but no power lead :disappointed: the guy wasn't willing to search but with persuasion or a more helpful staff member it may turn up.
AnonAnonAgain
2 Jan 16#69
really wanted one of these and a certain someone on here took the last one in my local, even though I had reserved it, wish I hadn't bothered with the surface it's self as I'm on my 3rd one in a week lol good piece of kit still but worth it...?

2 Jan 16#70
This needs to be removed. Checked Currys in Stoke and they had one in stock but it was £79. The guy suggested it mightve been the non-pro docking station which is cheaper?
kriscii to MateAPlate
2 Jan 16#71
The non-pro dock is £79, they gave me that one at first but then they found the pro dock which is £39.97.

There is not one in Truro but went to currys in Plymouth and they had 2, 1 scanned at £130 and the other at £39 so I picked it up! Thanks mate

Stonking deal but have failed to get one - tried PCW in Coventry and Nottingham and Curry's PCW in Notts. Curry's PCW Notts had a Surface Pro 3 Dock but when the guy scanned it - it came up at £169. He believes the discounted one is an end of line older model - I didn't think they have released two versions of the Pro 3 dock?!
Anyway to help you lot out - the screen he showed me said a stock level of 1 at Stamford, Northampton and Kettering.
Derby also have 1 apparently but customer service struggled to get hold of the store for me to reserve it and I'm not driving from Nottingham if they've sold out.
If anyone has bought or can buy two I will happily buy one off you - will cover postage and travel costs etc too as I need one for my new Surface Pro 4 for work.
alex350r
3 Jan 16#76
Update - went to Derby Wyvern store and despite the system showing 1 in stock they were not willing to help and just sent me packing with the line "All we have is on the shelf, it's probably missing mate..." they weren't willing to check out the back or help any further - crap customer service! There is 1 at Stamford, Northampton and Kettering still apparently - anyone near there able to get me one??

Waste of time tbh. It's not policy to hold clearance items so someone else will likely just sell it.

Thanks. At first I went to Aintree and they checked local stock. The nearest was Warrington. When I got there I explained I had travelled and that Aintree advised there was one dock left in Warrington. After a long wait, the assistant made a few calls and found the dock somewhere in the back stock room. No idea why they were hiding clearance stock. It goes to show it's well worth asking and insisting they check stock rooms. Thanks
