The tablet laptop hybrid sure is, Docks are costly for no apparent reasons though.

The dock is no ripoff when you consider everything offers and compare it to the competition. Besides being proprietary and neat looking: - As it's pretty compact, it can double as a second/replacement charger with not just a meh 1 USB charging port (like on the charger that comes in the box) but 4 USB Charge AND Sync ports + multiple other ports, - It supports Mini DisplayPort daisy chaining, - Offers gigabit Ethernet port, - Offers an additional audio in/out jack, and - Simultaneously charges your Surface Pro/Book (you'll only dream of doing that over a regular USB port) All of the above is accomplished on one connection attempt, via 1 outlet like a regular charger, and should anyone trip over your cable, your device won't come flying off the desk as it's a magnetic connection. You could get a Pluggable docking station for half that price (or even less) and it'll offer way more ports PLUS it'll work with ANY PC that has a USB 3.0 port. However, no trip protection (off flys your device with he USB cable), won't be as cool/neat/portable (especially as you'll require both the dock and your separate charger), AND you'll have to be connecting/disconnecting at-least 2 cables; 1 for the USB 3.0 from the dock (which itself needs an outlet), 1 for supplying power to the Surface Pro (a second outlet), AND 1 for the Mini DisplayPort if you desire to use a Mini DisplayPort display or the daisy-chain function of Mini DisplayPorts.
