The laptop screen is fine, it's the HDMI out limited to 1920x1080 that's problematic. Carrying a docking station around defeats the portability of the laptop IMO. And it's not like there aren't better options than Lenovo...
- qwerty456127 5y ago> the HDMI out limited to 1920x1080 Well this really sounds nonsensical. I wouldn't believe if someone else told me but I feel like I can believe an HNer on such a subject. Thank you for letting us know. I would otherwise not imagine this can exist and wouldn't check when choosing a laptop. Now I wonder if my laptop supports higher resolutions on HDMI. > Carrying a docking station around defeats the portability of the laptop IMO You are not supposed to carry them, they are meant to be put on your table and stay there, already connected to external monitors, power supply and other devices, waiting for you to bring the laptop and connect it to just the dock. Nevertheless small and lightweight "traveler docks" also exist.
- saltcured 5y agoThere must be more to this story... My T440p and T460s from years ago both support 4K via display port and my T495 supports 4K via its HDMI.
- varelse 5y agoWork issued T580. IT insisted docking stations were needed for higher resolutions. Doing some research, it turns out that is true but also one can buy a proprietary USB-C cable as well, my bad. It's the built-in HDMI that caps at 1920x1080 as I experienced.
