Looked like his hand was not very steady to me.
Hello,
The docking station work well, no problem.
But I see that the Surface pro 3 get much hoter when in the station, is it normal?
Thank you
Yeah, maybe his hand was shaking because of the heat generated by calculating pen position vectors at an angle in the docking station with the type cover attached while screen beaming to the iPad.It's warmer because the device is constantly charging.
I recall reading somewhere that it was hinted at being a pcie interface (using nonstandard connector) which makes sense to me in that its standard fare with available chipsets and the connector has more pins than USB needs.Also be aware that the databus that is used to connect the SP3 and the Docking station might be USB 3.0 even though the connector on the side is proprietary. Which would mean that all USB and Ethernet transfers over the Docking Station do have a CPU impact. This has never been confirmed nor denied by Microsoft, and therefore the jury is still out on that. But since the Docking station allows for more connections over one bus, it would (partially) explain a higher CPU load and therefore addition heat generation ..
Just as an aside.... even though there is nothing official if you look at the connector on the dock there are 30 additional pins, there is only 9 on the power connector....
