    Do you guys recommend a lenovo dock in general or its just a waste of money?

    I'm thinking of getting a dock but sometimes my mindset cannot justify the price. What do you think? Suggestions?

    If you use the laptop as desktop replacement and hate to connect/disconnect power/Ethernet/external keyboard/external monitor every time, the dock is the best thing since sliced bread. Just stick to proper docks, aka Mini Dock Plus Series 3, not the USB ones. If you don't like the price on lenovo.com, check ebay :)

    If the only external cable you normally plug into your laptop is a power cable, or you don't mind plugging-unplugging, then the dock is, of course, a waste of money.
