Trying to understand the differences with the docks
Is there any 30 second elevator pitch type of cliff note summary beyond this for the Dell laptop docks? This is for a business use (word, excel, surfing the web, watch a video in off hours, etc.), either 1 or 2 monitors, a mouse, keyboard and network connection.
But it says all have Thunderbolt connectivity. That doesn't mean it runs thunderbolt, right? TB is backwards compatible? ie a TB laptop will talk to a non TB dock, but you don't get TB features (which are???)
WD19S - 130W - $300 - Available in Sept! 1m cable
WD19S - 180W - $340 - Available in Sept! when would you need these extra watts? The monitors get power from A/C. 1m cable
WD19TBS - $360 - Available in Aug. Thunderbolt capable 0.8m cable
WD19DCS - 210W - $410 - Most expensive. and conveniently, available now! 0.8m cable.
Thanks. Meh. Microsoft is like that. A page with links. That goes to more links. How you guys get time to understand / digest all that info is way beyond my capabilities and time!
