Docking Monitors
Docking monitors combine the features of a display and a docking station into a single device. With built-in ports for connecting peripherals and accessories, support for multiple displays (through DisplayPort daisy chain) and wired network connectivity via Ethernet, they provide a streamlined workspace. These monitors also deliver up to 100W of power for laptop charging. With just a single USB-C connection to your laptop, a docking monitor can replace the need for a separate docking station in most cases, with standalone docks only required for special circumstances. **Consult with KIS if you have questions, if you are interested in an alternative display size or if you are uncertain if you need a standalone dock.
Lenovo ThinkVision P24h-30 - LED docking monitor - 24" - $260
Lenovo ThinkVision P27h-30 - LED docking monitor - 27" - $360
Docking Stations
**If using a docking monitor, a standalone docking station is no longer necessary in most situations. Consult KIS prior to purchase to determine if required for your computing setup.
Lenovo ThinkPad Universal USB-C Dock - $193.16
