Sure...except you have to buy a $200 dock to connect it to anything.
Why can't I buy a $40 (or Chinese equivalent for $20) adapter to connect it to things?
Why isn't there a pin-out or open standard?
I know the magnetic factor would be a problem for this use-case - it would often be too "heavy" for the magnets.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoI got my dock for about $70. Presumably if you shop around a bit, you can manage to do something similar. I haven't seen a full dock, but I have seen off-brand SurfaceConnect chargers.
- apapli 9y agoI bought a Kensington dock, I think it is the model I linked to below, but I paid way less for it on amazon. Works great. https://www.kensington.com/au/au/4491/33972/sd3500v-universal-usb-30-dual-docking-station https://www.kensington.com/au/au/4491/33972/sd3500v-universa...
- FireBeyond 9y agoIf it's anything like the Kensington sd3600p I had, not so great. Buried far below anything else was the not so little detail that if you plugged in a 4K display, USB3 ports on the dock would downshift to USB2, and GigE to 100mbps (why bother?).
