Review on πŸ’» Lenovo Thinkpad Workstation Dock 230W (40A50230US) for US Market by Kofi Wills

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It doesn't match the docking station brand

I've had it for a little over a year. It's very frustrating to use and cheaply made. I have a top P51. which was originally broken when I received it and it took 6 months for Lenovo customer service to replace it, but that's another story. The computer never recognizes that it is docked. I have to repeatedly press the power button on the docking station, remove and replace the laptop before the external monitors turn on. It only has 1 HDMI port. The headphone jack on the back of the dock stopped working after about a month. About every half hour both monitors turn off, one usually turns back on within 3-4 seconds and the second lasts about 10 seconds. Leaving the laptop to sleep gives me the same issues as plugging it in: I have to press the power button and take it off the doc multiple times before it works. Can't find any rhyme or reason that actually makes it turn on external monitors. I would NOT recommend this product. or any Lenovo product for that matter.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
