Get a used Type C Dock for other Brand Notebook?
Get a used Type C Dock for other Brand Notebook?
Hi
I saw on ebay there are some Seller who resell refurbed Docks. Thankfully I have a lot of old Thinkpad Power Supply left so that isnt any problem. The main problem is my Displays support only Display Port. And I have 2 of them. I use an Dell Dock who I won in some dell online conference for many device and the work fine.
So how about a Lenovo Dock?
Like 40A9 as an quick research on Ebay are darn cheap. I dont know yet if the support dual Display Port Output or not.
Maybe thats the reason why the sell it so cheap?
Thankss
EDIT:
Does anyone here still own a 40A9? Does the support x2 16:10 Diplay on Display Port or only (as the Manual say) 2x 16:9 = 1920 x 1080?

They support dual Displayport. Not sure whether dual 1920x1200 specifically - pretty sure my monitors back then were 1920x1080. I will try to get one 40A9 and test for you next week.Boy2006 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 11:53 pmSo how about a Lenovo Dock?

However, as you may have noticed in the other thread - they are not issue-free. This is the first generation of USB-C docks Lenovo released, and are somewhat finicky, it seems. Maybe that's why they are cheap.

Re: Get a used Type C Dock for other Brand Notebook?
Can you recommend other (used) (Brand) with Dual Displayport Output?
Sure there are new but the cost what I saw ~250€ that is 49€ less what my "Chromebook" (who run Linux right now) cost back then.

In the German speaking Forum I got the replay that the should support 16:10 to.
So I order the used one. Well lets see how it works. Since its old I hope it support Linux to.

So I can confirm it works with an (ex) Chromebook (now Debian) + an Dell Tablet Pc with Win10.
On Both Device I have an Image on my 16:10 HD Displays.
The best think is darn cheap on ebay and I could use my old 90W original Power Brick with an official Adapter from Round to Flat.

For the past 10 days or so I've been using one 40A9 myself with a pair of U2410 1920x1200 displays and a T16 Gen3. No display issues.
A couple of times the USB devices were not detected when PC was turned on (don't remember if it was from power-off or from standby). I needed to disconnect and reconnect the USB-C cable before things started working.

I did not test that (yet) since I use the Laptop who I destroy the internal Accu Connector as an Desktop until i decide if I try to solder on the lead or not. I figure out that the Laptop even support 2x external Display + the Internal
