Alongside the new Microsoft Surface 3, and its accessories, the Surface Pen and Surface Type Cover keyboard, Microsoft also has the new Surface 3 Docking Station ($199.99). With an easy-to-use docking mechanism and connections for peripherals and an external monitor, it's a useful accessory if you want your grab-and-go Surface 3 to also function as your primary Windows PC.
Design and Features
The Surface 3 Docking Station is a revamped version of the Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro 3, offering the same sort of connectivity options and functions, but sized for the smaller 10-inch Microsoft Surface 3. The new dock features the same sort of plastic construction and port selection, though the layout is a little different, due to the smaller design.
The docking station features more ports than the Surface 3 tablet itself, with two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an audio jack, a Mini DisplayPort monitor output, and a Gigabit Ethernet connector. Peripheral users will now have a wired alternative for connecting a keyboard, a mouse, and storage, while the Ethernet port will be a boon if you need a wired network connection.
Final Thoughts

Keylogger Hunter tries to block keyloggers from recording private information as you type. It doesn't remove keyloggers or notify you if they're on hand. It doesn't keep them from monitoring anything else on your system. Worst of all, in testing it was only halfway successful. Buy a real security program instead.
