Cozy. for computers and accessories

A little difficult to get a computer dock at times, but works great with my ThinkPad for 80. All my inputs go to the back but no HDMI input for a second monitor.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Sad hardware

Thinkpad Docking Statin shipped blocked.

I noticed that someone else wrote that their item was blocked and mine was too. Due to a blockage, three ports couldn't be moved forward and no keys are included, meaning users won't be able to unlock them. Unfortunately had to go back and I'm getting a USB Type-C dock instead, so it's a lot cheaper if it's blocked.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

Basically everything is fine, dead USB and HDMI port

Most docks work fine but the HDMI and USB ports are blocked. Luckily I don't use either of them for anything significant. VGA and power work fine.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Anything I can add

Cozy. the best of docking stations

Getting a computer dock can be a bit difficult sometimes, but it works great with my ThinkPad for 80. All my inputs go to the back but no HDMI input for one second monitor.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Thinkpad Docking Statin shipped blocked.

I noticed someone wrote that their item was blocked and mine was too. Three ports couldn't be moved forward due to the lock, and there are no keys in the kit, meaning users won't be able to unlock it. sent blocked.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Good overall but...

Puts the computer in permanent sleep mode

I bought this docking station for my second home office. My first one (not bought here) works great. This randomly puts my computer to sleep. It happens at such random times. I was able to work for 30 minutes with no problem and then my computer would cycle on and off in sleep mode where I had to wake it up, re-enter my password and continue. Then, after a few minutes, again and again and again. I can talk to a customer on the phone and the computer just goes to sleep while I'm typing. Thought…

  • Best
