lenovo 433835U ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 - 170W

Pros: simple to put the laptop on the docking bay

Cons: not really a con I guess, but it has like 5 connections in the back for displays (1x vga, 2 dvi, 2 displayport (kinda like hdmi but not directly compatible), but the laptop I got (and most i've worked with) can only output to 2 displays. When I plug in more than 1 monitor, it shows up on the computer as disabled and will only let me show the display on 2 at a time. I know this isn't really a con for the docking bay as its laptop specific, just thought itd be nice to mention it incase someone is wanting like 3+ displays- make sure your laptop's video card can handle it or go with a usb to vga/dvi connector to add on additional displays.

Other Thoughts: we got this for an employee that needs to be out and about; makes it easy for them to just click-in when they come to the office; its really simple hardware and a doubt there is much that could go wrong with this- just make sure you get the right model for your laptop.
