Do they sell ultra docks anymore?

#1 Post by Whitieiii » Sat Jan 11, 2025 1:43 am

My mum's old T440s is connected to an ultra dock because not only does it give a good typing angle but also has enough ports for things that always stay at the desk.. i do know they got rid of the dedicated connection with the T480 line but I've just upgraded her to a T14s Gen 1 with the AMD Ryzen 7 and was wondering if there is an ultra dock for it? I just want usb and ethernet not concerned with monitor output

The T14s Gen1 is compatible with the new CS18 docks like the Ultra Docking Station 40AJ:

Ok thank you! After typing the numbers in i found all the other docks too... I'm thinking about just going for a pro dock as i don't need 3 monitor support but i want some extra ports not on the basic dock

Yes, the Pro Docking Station is fine. Given how cheap these are on the second-hand market, you may find the price difference between a 40AH and a 40AJ negligible. And yes, you are right - the Basic Docks should be avoided (pretty much true about every generation of docks).

Yup only complaint about the T14s G1 no Ethernet but understandable for it's size
