What happened to the T400 dock with DisplayPort?

#1 Post by Dead1nside » Mon Jul 20, 2009 3:05 pm

When the T400 was released there was an uproar at the lack of DisplayPort when other manufacturers were including HDMI or DVI as standard. I believe it was on Lenovo Blogs where a statement was made that the T400 does support DisplayPort through the dock, and presumably would be releasing one - what's happened to it? As far as I can tell the new Series 3 docks only support the new connector type introduced on the T400s.

Indeed. Lenovo pulled a trick on current generation of T-series users, it seems. Tough luck.

*sighs* Probably wouldn't have used it anyway but I did buy it with the thought that it would be capable of this support in the future. Thanks.
