Computer Docking Station Appraisal

Lenovo ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station

This is a Lenovo ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station, a mechanical docking peripheral designed for high-performance business laptops. The unit is constructed from a durable, matte black high-impact plastic, characteristic of the ThinkPad aesthetic. It features a rectangular, low-profile footprint with a specific proprietary docking connector located in the center-left area, surrounded by mechanical alignment pins and locking mechanisms to secure a laptop. The 'ThinkPad' and 'Lenovo' logos are prominently embossed/printed on the top surface. The rear and sides contain multiple ports, which typically include USB 3.0, DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, and Ethernet, though these are partially obscured in the image. This specific model appears to be from the CS13 series (likely the 40A2 model), designed for ThinkPad generations such as the T440 through T470. Externally, the item shows moderate signs of use with some surface dust and minor scuffing, but the mechanical mounting components appear intact and functional. No significant cracks or structural damage are visible on the casing. The craftsmanship reflects industrial business standards with precision-molded plastics and a utilitarian design meant for a professional office environment.
