Surface Connector to USB-C Charging Adapter, DC15V 102W Type C Female to Surface Male for Microsoft Pro7/6/5/4 Surface Laptop 3/2/1, Surface Go, Surface Book

I was able to charge my surface laptop at about the same rate or even faster than my other laptop chargers (they all say slow charging but fully charge within about two hours). You just plug it into the USB-C cable to a 45W or higher port designated for laptops on your charger. Of course, if you plug it in the 3W port, it won't work as your laptop usually needs at least 45W or higher to sufficiently charge (well, basing this off my memory). So make sure your charging port has the 45W or higher to use this adapter for your laptop. I tried multiple USB-C cables and they all seem to work fine so far with this adapter. I did not pay attention if they were fast charging cables but they all seem to work. I am happy I can just take this tiny adapter with me anywhere and attach to my USB-C cable and plug into any 45W charging ports.

I just received this and definitely should have listened to others review. Tried with multiple chargers and cables and it just doesn't work. It lights up as soon as you connect, then the light turns off. My device has been connected for an hour and it never charged enough to start. Don't buy!!!

I like this better than the original charger. Works good with USB

Not sure how many stars to give this. Reading on you'll probably understand.As others have stated, if you are not getting power into your Surface using this adapter it's probably the A/C adapter. I use a USB-PD power bank and it works flawlessly. I have (2) Surface Pro 3's and (1) Surface Pro 5 and it works fine. Super convenient.Now for the caveat. For my Surface Pro 5th Gen. I had the USB-C cable already attached to my power bank, with this adapter on the other end, as one would commonly do. I plugged it to my Surface and heard a tiny zap. The contacts must have touched the metal part of the Surface frame. And now it's 100% bricked. RUINED! It cycles endlessly from the Surface logo then reboots and shows it again. Can't even get into the BIOS/UEFI.My advice, always connect it to the Surface first, then attach your cable to the power source. If you enjoy a tablet that actually boots.

I recently purchased two of the Surface Connector to USB-C Charging Adapters for my older Microsoft devices - a Surface Book 1 and a Surface Pro 4. These adapters have been a game-changer for charging on the go.I've paired them with an Anker SOLIX C300 DC Power Bank Station, using two 240W Anker Prime USB C to USB C cables, and the setup works flawlessly. The adapters connect securely to my Surfaces, ensuring a stable and efficient charge even when I'm away from traditional power outlets.No complaints here - they do exactly what they're supposed to do without any fuss. Highly recommended for anyone needing to charge older Surface models with modern USB-C power sources!

(QUICK SUMMARY: DO NOT BUY!!)The product arrived seemingly brand new. Before purchasing, I read the reviews, and they seemed mixed. I was desperate though, so I pushed to buy it. It just arrived and as I feared, it does not work. I am unable to charge my Surface Book and the adaptor thingy didn't do its job. I am nothing short of disappointed as I will have to get my refund back and search for another adapter.

It works, but it is put together fairly cheap. If you push the USB-C cable in too hard, the whole mechanism comes out the other side.

Pleasantly compact and I'm using this for a dashmount application and the magnet is strong enough. After much research, it appears this adapter will work so long as it's fed by large enough power supply, nearly anything that is truly USB C. It needs 45W and I believe USB C supplies smaller than that have become rare. My hunch is the times it doesn't work is when someone is using a USB A power supply, with adapter cable to USB C, therefore power is limited to USB A specifications.
