The Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Basic Dock provides four USB ports as well as one DVI and Gigabit Ethernet port for quickly attaching peripherals to your notebook. The dock connects to your notebook using a single USB 3.0 cable to offer a quick option for attaching all your external gear. The two USB 2.0 ports are suitable for accessing printers and mice, while two USB 3.0 ports transmit data at speeds of up to 5 Gb/s, making them optimal for thumb drives and external storage drives. Additionally, one of the two USB 3.0 ports features always-on mobile device charging, so you can recharge a battery-powered device without the notebook attached.
To expand your notebook's onscreen workspace, the dock can connect to an external monitor that sports a DVI connection. For VGA-outfitted displays, a DVI to VGA adapter is included. Aside from visuals, the dock has an audio combo port for your headset, microphone, headphone, or pair of speakers. Moreover, the notebook can reliably and quickly access the Internet with the available Gigabit Ethernet port located on the rear panel of the dock.
