Docking is a snap
The ThinkPad A285 integrates with the ThinkPad Pro Dock (sold separately), a capability that’s shared across most of the 2018 ThinkPad models. The new USB-C side mechanical dock easily connects and automatically levels your device. Once docked, your ThinkPad stays securely in place and sits at a slightly tilted, ergonomic keyboard angle for comfort.
