just strange that the second picture displays a different model
lurk a week and you ll surely find a good offer
i was going to get the dock with the 2 DVI and Display port ports
i dont know if there are differences, mine has 1 dvi, 1 vga, 1 display port
the one for the w500 has dual DVI and Display ports with USB 3
its more expensive and works with all of them
1 X Unit powers up has faulty optic dive
2 X UNITS DO NOT POWER UP. SHOW POWER ON LIGHT
yeah get the 2 for oh fuck broke the plastic part
or oh fuck fucked up the display
or oh fuck (insert reason for needing spare parts)
if you have a hdd and ram for it, why not
its not like you use the optical drvie
and you need a charger
well they are $60 AUD so like 45 USD
4GB is another 30$ and a charger maybe 15-20
yeah so i could do a lot more cheaper
better external display
its probably the worse resolution though
1366x768 or smth
well it doesnt really matter, the thinkpad would be terminal or mayeb at best firecucks
just get orange pi for that lol
i have a few pis but nah
@JHWH is yours a t420/i/s
which one
x200
t420
no i and no s
does it really matter if its i or s
yes
i is less cpu power
s is slim and supposed to have cooling problems
it has usb 3.0 though
okat so the stock is the best
for your purposes yes
t420 standard has usb 3 via the dock
might be, you can also always just buy an express card with usb 3
its like 5 bucks or so
