I guess due to it's size, it also has limited ports on it. It looks very sleek and modern, sits nicely on the desk. For my perfect dock, this would work with a Surface laptop studio, macbook, surface pro 9 sq3, and a couple of other thunderbolt laptops.ĭesign wise, it's smaller than the dock 1 and 2.

I bought it to see if it would work as a 'one dock fits all' platform. I received my surface dock 3 this morning. I've heard that it might be related to external devices that are plugged in (all I've had lately is my Surface Pen, the aforementioned keyboard and a USB mouse), and some of the posts on the sub suggest that one of the Surface-specific apps might be able to do something? Most of the things I search related to this issue online either spout the same stuff or are specifically referring to when the computer won't start altogether. I'm absolutely clueless as to why it's started or if there's a permanent solution, and doing the usual stuff with updating the Intel drivers or downloading any Windows updates doesn't seem to have done anything. It thankfully boots up perfectly fine, but it's getting really fucking annoying having to force restart it multiple times a day - even if it's been asleep for mere minutes. Occasionally I can get an error beep if I fiddle around with the keys, but that's it - Win+Ctrl+Shift+B and Ctrl+Alt+Del don't do squat, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do regarding the power+volume button boot menu that the Microsoft help pages go on about. Nine times out of ten when I put it to sleep (either through the power button or folding it up), the screen won't turn back on even though the Surface Type Cover's keys light up. It's been going on for two-three days now (I've had this thing for a little under three years, can't remember if it's ever happened before or if so this frequently), regardless of how charged the battery is or if the power cord's in.
