    Strengths: Lightweight, excellent price

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: This is the best dock I have ever used. It is designed better than it's predecessor. The AC adaptor is compatible with other ThinkPads, too. Well worth the cost!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Ease of set-up, functionality

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased the Port Replicator after my desktop computer crashed, and was looking for another alternative: a new desktop, or a replicator for my laptop.The replicator virtually gives the laptop desktop functionality (provided you have a monitor and preferably an external keyboard and mouse).Set-up for the replicator was a breeze, and everything was up and running shortly after receiving the product!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to transport. Pretty light.Well designed. Accomondates the high-capacity battery that buldges out from the back of the laptop.Easy to un-dock the laptop.

    Weaknesses:Seems too "light" and flimsy.Hard to tell if you've got the latptop fully latched in place on the dock.Only ONE USB port!

    Overall Evaluation: This an awesome alternative to buying the Thinkpad Mini-Dock. The only difference is that the Port Replicator only has ONE USB port at the back, though you are still able to use the laptop's USB ports.I have a T42, and I am able to use this almost as a desktop replacement. I have two 19" TFT's that I plug into the Port Replicator's VGA and DVI ports and I am able to span my desktop across the two external monitors. The laptop LCD is disabled.I have my keyboard and mouse plugged into it, along with my printer. Great as a desktop replacement!However, I needed to buy a USB hub for additional USB ports.

    Weaknesses:It doesn't include a power adpater, however it pairs up nicely with the IBM AC/DC adapter.

    Overall Evaluation: This unit is very small and convenient to use. It has all the needed ports. It also has a flip back door that accommodates the extended run time battery which my laptop came with. Cheap enough to get one for home and the office too.
