Review on Lenovo ThinkPad Basic USB Dock by Steven Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Car won't charge

Drivers for this device were easy to find online, but it would be nice if there was more plug and play. Also, despite the fact that I saw in one of the answers to the questions that this device does not charge your car when connected to the dock, this turned out to be a much bigger disadvantage than I expected. In fact, the main benefit of this docking station is that one cable does it all. Well, when you need to connect to both a dock and a power source, that pretty much misses out on an extremely valuable convenience factor that I've taken for granted with all previous docks. It also ties up a power cord that I might otherwise keep in a bag or take with me to meetings (I'm not going to reach under my desk to pull it out every time I need power elsewhere, and I won't take it with me). this particular cord at home because I might accidentally leave it there - with the new type of plug there aren't too many extra cords). It's okay - I'll just buy an adapter for one of my old Lenovo power cords. However, I deducted a few stars because the food is separate. I should have gotten a more traditional dock.
