Review on 💻 Lenovo Thinkpad Ultra Dock with 170w Ac Adapter - Enhance Your Workstation with Retail Packaging! by John Hall

Before I bought this docking station I needed two things; a second travel power pack and a USB hub for connecting all peripheral devices (two printers, scanner, DVD and hard drive). The USB extension is great. The included AC adapter stays plugged in, while the AC adapter that came with your ThinkPad stays in your computer bag. The back of the Ultra Dock protrudes 3/4" from the back of the ThinkPad (about 3/4" even with the extended battery), and it takes about 3" more to connect the video cables. The ThinkPad has ports on the side, which required reconfiguration of my workstation. As reported in other pre-purchase reviews, the main design flaw with this ultra dock is the placement of the power and disconnect buttons on the tower, which blocks half of the computer fan. exhaust port. Since Lenovo designed both products, it shows a clear lack of technical expertise (what other design flaws are not visible to the average consumer). As a result, the fan speed will increase more frequently, and with this constricted airflow, the exhaust air speed and corresponding noise will increase. Another advantage is that the problems I had with display scaling (I know the problem with Windows 8.1 with a native 16:9 display and an external 16:10 monitor) with the DVI connection on the Ultra Dock have been fixed.
