Review on 💻 Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Docking Station (0A33970): Ultimate Connectivity Hub for Black by Eric Temple

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with Surface Pro and Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch

works great for me. My main steps were: 1. Connect everything 2. Install the Lenovo driver on my X1 (works for now but with some delay) 3. Install firmware update 0A33970 (most of the delays are fixed) 4. The Lenovo USB 3.0 host -Install Driver (No delay from this moment) 5. Install DisplayLink driver via Lenovo driver and then for Surface Pro 6. Install DisplayLink driver on Surface Pro 7. Disconnect my X1 Carbon and connect my surface pro and it just worked. There's a slight lag on the Surface Pro, but it's barely noticeable after a few hours of use. At the moment I've connected two 24" DVI 1080p monitors, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, a USB VoIP phone, ethernet and speakers to the docking station and it all comes together perfectly. I can easily switch between the two computers and the swap only takes about 10 seconds. all new drivers and firmware and try again. I switch back and forth between a docking station on my desk and just a laptop in meetings at least 5 times a day, and each time all settings are completely swapped.

Pros
  • IMPORTANT: Device drivers may need to be updated to work properly
Cons
  • Good, but not great
