🔌 Lenovo Thinkpad Ultra Dock USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, Display Port 40A80045US Review

My ThinkPad Yoga 1st Gen is almost 4 years old. This works fine for my needs but I wanted to use 2 monitors. This little dock does its job. This is an original Lenovo. After plugging in and plugging in my monitors, the correct driver loaded and now I can run both monitors and my laptop screen at the same time. As mentioned, this dock does not charge the laptop, so you still have 1 extra power cord. This is the perfect solution for me. It's so small that I can put it in a corner on my desk.

I connected everything and after the drivers…

This docking station is a lot of work. Every time I plug in my laptop I have to undock and reconnect the keyboard for it to work (not with a mouse or monitor for some reason). Also, connecting a monitor offers a really crappy resolution. This was not the case with my old Lenovo laptop/dock and I connect it to my TV with great results so I'm assuming it's the dock. Worst of all, the ethernet connection is not working. I've been looking for this and it seems it's a common problem. Basically, I…

Lenovo offers two different USB docking stations. I chose this one as it seemed to offer the most flexibility. I bought it to add two monitors + to a brand new X1 Carbon. It was not possible for me to get the second monitor to work with the standard HDMI output. In a nutshell. Apparently the X1 had an issue on the motherboard where the HDMI function didn't work (neither the physical port nor the "software port" of the docking station worked) which Lenovo took care of, no issues (I'm impressed…
