    So I bought a W530 for college. Working great, but I'd love a dock for at home. They are very expensive, and after talking with my friend, he told me he has an older Thinkpad dock (Type 4337) he doesn't use. So he brought it in with the 90w power adapter. The 90w won't charge it, but the dock seems to work with the laptop.

    If I bought a 135w, as I understand it, I could use that with the dock and it will charge my laptop, right?
    And where should I buy a cheap 135w power adapter that will work with my W530?
