Most docking stations force a choice: USB-C only, and older laptops are stranded, or a proprietary connector tied to one model generation. The 40AF connects over either USB-C or USB-A, which means a single dock at every desk can serve whatever laptop the user happens to have. For an organisation running a mixed or staggered refresh, that removes a real headache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eAt the desk it behaves the way a dock should. One connection to the laptop brings up two external monitors, wired Ethernet, keyboard and mouse, a headset and any USB storage — then a single unplug releases everything for a meeting. The combination of DisplayPort and HDMI outputs means it works with both older monitors and current ones without needing adapters, and the combo audio jack handles a wired headset for calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;\"\u003eTwo points of realism. First, display capability depends on how the laptop connects: a USB-C connection delivers the full dual-4K experience, while a USB-A connection is more limited in refresh rate and resolution because of the bandwidth available. Second, and most importantly, this unit is supplied without its power adapter, so budget for one. Charging pass-through to the laptop also depends on having a suitable adapter fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0060a9;font-size:17px;margin:28px 0 10px;\"\u003eTechnical

It requires a Lenovo slim-tip dock power supply (135W type) or a compatible equivalent, which you will need to source separately.

This is a universal dock. It works with Dell, HP, Apple and other laptops that support docking over USB-C or USB-A.
