What is the advantage of buying a docking station compared to the 3.0 dock?

You mean the USB 3.0 dock right? Not much. The docking station means you use 1 less USB port and have 1 less cable to connect. But a potential difference could be lag. When I was looking up non-lenovo docking stations (all use USB) the one issue I found was that there tends to be a slight lag with the monitor. Probably not a major issue unless you're playing games, but I was worried that the USB 3.0 dock could have the same issue. Not that this docking station doesn't have lag, but I assumed it would be the minimum I could get anywhere. I haven't noticed any lag though with one monitor. Also, I this docking station allows one more monitor than the 3.0 dock (3 instead of 2).

Yes you can. You can treat the docking station like removable media or it will function as a stand alone clone.

No. Sorry. But only paid about $19 for entire docking set up! Might be just as easy to buy a new dock.

I see only reburbished offers in the site, so I suggest to contact each dealer. The one I bought was new, and had no docking station.

Unfortunately I couldn't use it at all. And the cost to send it back was more than the product itself! This docking station is for older tablets with 30 pin connector and I have the smaller 9 pin connector. I hope this helps.

This Docking Stand is designed for use on USB 3.0-enabled ultrabook laptops like what you have. Get one for yourself, Raul!

Kinda prefer hard drive docking stations actually. Especially ones straight up and down. Easier on the motor. One I'm using is Vantec e-sata in white. Think it only goes to 3TB so when I go to 4 TB I gotta look for a new one. I mostly prefer it because I can stick a 3-4 inch mini fan behind it if it gets too warm. And cases don't do much for heat dissipation even the ones that are supposed to. Only one that did they don't make anymore :(

It has the port for a dock. It think it matters more on what docking station you want to use. I have a docking station that plugs in via a USB port. These work great and are universal to any computer.

I have tried this dock with some similar, as T100 tablets, and that is ok. Asus doesn't make similar looking hardware to cheat customers. So, my trials have been a success. BETTER for you, if you are not sure, go with your your tablet to a store, that sells docks, too. If it works there, then you can count on Amazon, they sell the similar product there, only one third of the price, as I did in Finland. So do that, PAL, and enjoy.

It comes with it's own USB 3.0 dock which is backwards compatible with USB 2.0

The docking station has 3 USB ports on it the only way to buy it is by getting it used here on amazon or on ebay for new or used but it will cost around $400.00 it depends on the seller it's sad a $99.99 docking station shot up to $500.00 or more it is very rare now to buy the tablet or the accessories for it hope this helps.

The dock has the 3.0 there is a cord in back that is USB 2.0. The 2.0 will charge slower so if you get this just use the dock for charging

There is no docking station if that is what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

can't answer i'm not the seller, but I can say that having had one of these docks for just over a year i've had not problems.. In the past I had a different lenovo docking station for almost 8 years and had not problems with it

The newer model is actually cheaper for some unknown reason. As far as I can tell that is the only difference since USB 3.0 is backwards compatable with USB 2.0 ports.
