![]() ![]() With the dock hooked up to the a ThinkPad X301, which has a 2008-era 1.4-GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, we were still able to play two HD videos at the same time. However, we when tried to play a second video at the same time at any of the higher-than-HD or high-frame rate clips, both players slowed down.Įven though the Targus APC71USZ is made for USB 3.0-capable notebooks, it worked with an older notebook that had USB 2.0 only. We were also able to play a high-frame-rate, 1080p trailer for "The Hobbit" at 48 fps. We were also able to play a single 4K video in a window that stretched across both screens and a 2560p video both at full screen and in a window. The performance was so good that we were able to play two 1080p movie trailers at full screen simultaneously without either one slowing down. When we connected the dock to a ThinkPad T430 with integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics, we were able to power both the laptop's screen and two 1920 x 1200 monitors without any lag. ![]() Users with VGA-only monitors or projectors can connect with the included DVI-to-VGA adapter.Ĭlick to EnlargeBased on the same DisplayLink DL-3900 USB graphics chip as the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock, the Targus APC71USZ provides similarly excellent performance. However, users who have TVs and other HDMI-capable screens will appreciate having that connection. Since our test monitors, like many desktop displays, support DVI but not HDMI, we had to use the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter to connect one of our screens. ![]() All of the Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock's ports are USB 3.0, but most users probably don't have more than a one or two USB 3.0 peripherals anyway. The USB 2.0 port on the left side and one of the USB 2.0 ports on the back supply charging power even when your computer is disconnected. Not counting the upstream USB 3.0 port that attaches to the notebook, the Targus ACP71USZ has six USB ports, only two of which are USB 3.0 compatible. By comparison, the Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock only offers a single, combined 3.5mm connector that wouldn't allow us to both record and listen to audio on our pair of headphones, which has discrete jacks for each function. We appreciated having separate audio in/out jacks, because it allowed us to use a headset with separate plugs for each function.
