Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Pro Dock (40A70045US) 45W AC Adapter With 2 Pin Power Cord Included, Item Does Not Charge The Laptop Or Tablet When Attached

I have this maxxed out so mauby a cupule heat sinks should be used

Connected after a usb switch, the switch connected to two PC work like kvm, one of PC very old, but both of them work with this dock.

Great price and worth it

I'm using this with the P40 Yoga (which my company downgraded from Windows 10 to 7). The docking station works well, but there are some notable downsides, relative to the docking station in the office, which uses the OneLink+ cable, rather than the traditional USB 3.0 port. I do not like how this "docking" station does not charge or even hold the battery level of the laptop. It connects to the laptop through a USB 3.0 port and you still need to plug in your laptop separately. Even though it says USB 3.0 Docking Station, I didn't realize this docking station would connect through the USB 3.0 port, rather than through the OneLink+ cable, which does charge the laptop. Unlike with the newer OneLink+ Dock, this USB 3.0 Docking station requires that DisplayLink software has to be installed in order to allow the external display to work. The computer does recognize this and automatically prompts you for this. After installation and a reboot, the external display is indeed recognized and added as an extended display to the laptop. However, the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel does not recognize this as a separate display. Thankfully, this can still be managed through Windows Control Panel | Display. I bought this as a "Used - Very Good" item from Electro Spot through Amazon. It looks and feels brand new. Because it's an older model than the OneLink+ docking station, you can get it as a used (not really used) product about 1/3 as much as the newer one.

This is exactly what I needed to get my Ideapad Y700 to extend to a 4 monitor setup. I was kind of bummed out when I realized I couldn't buy a docking station or do anything with my ideapad to get it past 2 monitors (including the laptop screen). This has cut down on a lot of my cord clutter when I am working at home from my home office. I am currently running this laptop connected to 3 external monitors all 27" displays and all at high resolutions.

Its OK if you still want to plugin your laptop to an AC adapter. The use case is really around plugging in many peripherals to your laptop such as a corded mouse, corded keyboard and printer. Since you can plugin a monitor to your laptop already this would be helpful for a person with multiple monitors (there are workarounds here to - think DVI monitor + DisplayLink via USB which can be done without this device). However, since many have moved onto wireless or bluetooth the usefulness is not as high as it could be. Also, the video adapters are DVI (think white plug), VGA (through DVI adapter), DisplayPort, and USB. No HDMI unless you buy an adapter or converter cable.

Only thing that didn't work out of the box on linux was the DisplayLink, but that wasn't too tricky to figure out after googling it.

Yes, this will EXTEND your desktop. I plug my laptop into this so I can use two separate PC monitors. If I open my laptop it could actually be 3 separate monitors.

当たり前かもしれませんが、USBハブを多用するとその分、遅くなります。 優先すべき配線を考えて刺さないと、マウスも反応しなくなりました。

Este dock es genial. Especialmente porque lo compré en $368.89, de oferta. Justo como menciona, es USB 3.0, pero eso lo hace compatible con las laptops muy viejas (incluso funciona con USB 2.0) y con las muy recientes (USB 3.0 y con USB C a través de adaptador). Así, el que sea USB A, en realidad es una gran ventaja. Este dock, funciona con laptops de otras marcas, Windows lo reconoce inmediatamente. Como se menciona, no puede alimentar a la laptop, pero esa es otra ventaja potencial... Con un convertidor USB C a (USB A 3.0 + USB C PD) se puede alimentar permanentemente a mi Thinkpad X1 Carbon a través de su USB C (donde por cierto tengo un conector magnético USB C). La carga es permanente y sólo cuando oprimo el botón del docking se enciende todo lo que tengo conectado (pantallas, teclado, mouse, ethernet, etc.). Esto es una gran ventaja. El único inconveniente es que no soporta tanta resolución en sus salidas de video. No es un problema para mi, pero revisen antes de comprarlo.

This dock has plenty of useful ports and handles two external monitors without any trouble. It’s a straightforward way to turn a laptop into a simple desktop setup.

Works perfectly with my Lenovo notebook! It ends the need to plug in the separate cords for printer, monitor, ethernet, etc. every morning.
