With the appropriate ThinkPad docking station, users in large enterprises particularly benefit from the additional connection and expansion options for their ThinkPad notebooks. The new docking stations have been specifically designed for the latest ThinkPad notebooks with a side mechanical docking connector, allowing for easy and secure connection to peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, USB storage, printers, and external displays by simply snapping the notebook into the dock. The power button on the dock mirrors that of the notebook, making it easy to turn the notebook on and off using the dock's power switch. The dock supports rapid charging of the notebook, ensuring that the notebook battery is ready for use in no time. Especially in large corporations, the new ThinkPad docking stations make the IT department's job easier by supporting management functions like PXE boot, Wake On LAN, and MAC address passthrough on selected ThinkPad systems. ThinkPad docking stations are meticulously designed, have undergone extensive testing, and are a must-have with every ThinkPad notebook purchase.
