ThinkPad Dock

IBM ThinkPad Dock

The IBM ThinkPad Dock (Model 2631) transforms a regular Thinkpad into a full blown workstation with multiple monitors (PCI video card), higher fidelity audio (PC Card audio), and additional storage Ultrabay 2000. These expansion features are not supported by all Thinkpads, therefore the Dock does not support as many Thinkpads as the Port Replicator, Port Replicator II or Mini-Dock.

Features

  • everything the ThinkPad Port Replicator has
  • 1x half-size PCI card slot
  • 2x additional PC Card slots
  • 1x Ultrabay 2000 slot

Pros & Cons

  • Positives: Expansion capability
  • Negatives: internal fan is loud, large, less compatible
  • DVI pass-through on the Dock is only supported with ThinkPad A20p, A21p and A22p models.
  • Compatibility: X20/30, T20/30 and A20/30 Series notebooks (does not support the A21e/22e).
  • Warranty: One Year

PCI Slot

Note this is a Half Height, or 'low profile' slot. Separate brackets are required for low profile PCI cards. Normal cards will not fit.
