Mini Dock - Why is the powersupply so big?

#1 Post by pae77 » Thu Sep 22, 2005 9:43 pm

I just received the minidock I ordered to go with the T42p I ordered and am still impatiently waiting for. But I was wondering why the power supply brick that comes with the minidock is so big compared to the regular power supply that came with my T30. Anybody know?

I think it's something like a 120watt power supply. It's larger because it has to power an additional USB hub and additional other peripherals.
