I love my Dell Latitude 7280 that I got for €300 (second hand). Almost brand new. I shelled out €150 for the `official` dell dock later (second hand) and then €150 later to upgrade the nvme drive from 256gb to 1tb and the RAM from 8gb to 16gb.

Only thing I miss and somehow can feel is the lack of dual channel. I'd trade one 16gb dd4 for two ddr3 slots any day.

edit: forgot why I wrote it down: it runs linux fine ^^ (kubuntu 18.04)

> the 'official' dell dock

Do you use Linux? One of the reasons why I chose a thinkpad is having a docking station that reliably works on linux. Any past experience with thinkpad docks? How do they compare?

It's my first dock so I can't compare but so far everything's working fine. Only one screen plugged in, mirror and extended mode works fine though.

I sometimes have hiccups (black screen, needs to plug it back in and out) when unplugging from the dock but I think it only shows up after a kernel upgrade.

It's the wd15.
