Dock/Port replicator question
Dock/Port replicator question
If I want to get a port replicator for a ThinkPad T series for a moderate price, which should I opt for? I don't need the extra UltraBay.

You can buy either the "Thinkpad Advanced mini dock" or the "Thinkpad Essential Port replicator" for the T6x series. More info on below links:

The advanced mini dock is a bit more expensive than the port replicator, but offers better value for money IMHO.

Gator, the wiki you referenced for the Advanced Mini-Dock doesn't mention an S/PDIF (digital audio) port, but the Lenovo site description does...gator wrote:You can buy either the "Thinkpad Advanced mini dock" or the "Thinkpad Essential Port replicator" for the T6x series. More info on below links:

Does the Advanced Mini-Dock have an S/PDIF port, and if so, where is it located? I can't find any photos online showing this particular port.
TIA.

To answer my own question, the S/PDIF (digital audio) coax port is on the right hand side of the Advanced Mini Dock. The T60p hangs over that side by a full 2 inches, so it is easy to overlook that particular port because it is completely hidden beneath the docked computer instead of sticking out of the back like all the other ports.
