Microsoft Surface 3 1645 Micro Usb Charging Port

I bought this hub for use with the Microsoft Surface Pro which has only one USB 3.0 port. This product allows me to us an external DVD/CD for loading software, etc. in addition to allowing me to use an extrnal mouse and thumb drive while typing papers and doing Powerpoint presentations for school. Great product, great size, and I can just toss it in my bag or pocket and take along.

I use it to connect a flashdrive to the micro-usb charging port on a Toshiba Encore tablet.

I've had the HP3R for a few years, and hands down the best light on the market. The focussing aspect and light output is absolutely spot on. One small thing to remember, is if you have an HP3R with a micro usb charging port, and need to replace the tail cap, the updated version of the tail cap with a USB-C charging port is not compatible with the previous micro usb gen.

Full Disclosure: Coast provided me this ZX600 battery in order for me to test it out. But, everything I will talk about in this review is my own opinion. Coast Portland was not given copy approval nor any editorial input in this review. That means, they're reading this review for the first time along side you. These are the topics I will cover. Skip to whatever corresponding number in order to read about that specific topic and find what you are looking for. 1) Overview 2) What I Dislike 3) Charging Port/Charging Indicator 5) Charge Time/Battery Satistics 6) Thoughts The Individual Topics Begin Here: 1) Overview: • The ZX600 battery is desighned to fit in place of 3 AA batteries • It is a lithium-polymer battery • It has a hard casing and can be inserted only one way with large marking denoting positive (+) and negative (-) 2) What I Dislike: • I dislike the use of a Micro-USB port to charge the battery instead of a newer USB-C port • Recharge time is ridiculously long 3) Charging Port/Charging Indicator • There is a Micro-USB port on the front of the battery • There is a charging indicator to the left of the Micro-USB port • A solid red light indicates charging and a solid green light indicates the battery is fully charged 4) Charge Time/Battery Satistics: • The battery was tested from completely dead Rated Capacity: 2100 mah Tested Capacity: 2241 mah Charge Speed: 450 mah Time: 5 hours 34 minutes 5) Thoughts: I really like the concept of this battery. I love how it is designed to just fit in place of where AA batteries normally go while still allowing the use of AA batteries if necessary without any fuss. I do wish they would make a generation 2 of this battery adding much needed improvements. Overall, it is a genius solution.

In my opinion, that's the best option for tablet PC available right now! * Silent - where is the cooler?! * Light and portable - even the complete kit (Surface, cover and the pen) is still incredibly easy to manage and carry in a small backpack or purse. * great quality material - it feels solid. Even the type cover seems solid (I am still getting used to the cover, but I am trying!). * relatively powerful - you get what you pay: it is fast to start Windows, run smooth medium-end software. High-end tools like Visual Studio and database development studios could perform better in a better spec notebook, but it's very easy to succumb to its power-portability rate. * comfortable keyboard - I am still trying to understand how such a small and thin keyboard is so comfortable... * finally a USB-C! - I have a Surface Pro 6 and this Pro 7 is a minor improvement. The battery and processor are slightly better compared to Pro 6, but the only item that I am really happy to upgrade is the new port! Microsoft please pay me to omit this! * The SSD is still slow since the early Surface Pros comparing with the competition... Why Microsoft?! * The battery only survives +5 hours if you decrease the processor power to microwave level. A medium to high workload finishes the battery in less than 2 hours. Tips: * I bought the pen, but I rarely use it. Despite that, the pen is very comfortable, runs smoothly in the glass and is very useful to control presentations. Of course, it's great for drawing. * I suggest the Surface Dock to optimizes your work. Just plug to add 4 USB ports, ethernet gigabit port, display port (even though it is a mini DP...) and audio output to your Surface. All that with embedded power supply, maintaining your power adapter on your backpack. * Buy a Microsoft Display Adapter! It is simply a MUST because wireless video transmission liberates you from wires!

Replaced my cheap knock-off with this Microsoft Surface Mini Display Port to HDMI 2.0 Adapter, and it works perfectly from the first time it was plugged in. My screen flickered periodically with my old adapter.

Works as described. I love the USB port for charging devices.

I needed this for a Microsoft Windows 8 Surface Pro as it only had one USB 3.0 port. I tried a non-powered hub only to find out that when using an external hard drive, it would consume most of the available power from the computer, leaving other attached peripherals unstable. This powered hub worked perfectly with all of the other devices attached.

Besides compact, it also has USB-c and micro-USB ports for charging! It was excellent!

Needed this for charging from a micro-USB cable. Works great for that.
