Review on 🔌 Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Pro Dock (40A70045US) – 45W AC Adapter & Power Cord Included: No Laptop or Tablet Charging by Kirk Womack

This is fine if you still want to connect your laptop to the power adapter. The use case really involves connecting many peripherals to your laptop, such as: B. a wired mouse, a wired keyboard and a printer. Since you can already connect a monitor to your laptop, this would be useful for someone with multiple monitors (there are workarounds here - think DVI + DisplayLink monitor over USB, which is possible without this device). However, with many moving to wireless or Bluetooth, the utility isn't as big as it could be. Also video adapters: DVI (with white connector), VGA (via DVI adapter), DisplayPort and USB. No HDMI unless you buy an adapter or converter cable.
