Lenovo's new docks and displays embody the single-cable USB-C dream

Lenovo has a pair of laptop docks and a pair of new monitors that embrace the dream of a single cable.

USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 have the potential to revolutionize how we plug in — a single cable that can do general purpose data, video, and power. And it's reversible! Lenovo's embracing USB-C in a big way with their newest docks and monitors.

Lenovo ThinkVision displays

There are two new displays to note here: the ThinkVision P27h (27 inches) and P24h (23.8 inches). Both are QHD (2560x1440) IPS LCD panels, supporting nearly 100% of the sRGB color gamut and a 6ms response time. Lenovo's shunning bezels here, with barely a border across the top and sides; even the one across the bottom isn't exceedingly thick.

And while they each sport HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, it's the USB-C port that's the real star here. This single port allows you to plug in your laptop with just one cable, sending video, data, and power. There are four full-sized USB ports along the edge of the display (all the better to connect with ease). Thanks to the 10GBPS capabilities of USB-C 3.1, there's even DisplayPort out so you can hook up a second display.

Lenovo's priced the ThinkVision P27h display at $329 and the P24h at $259, with availability expected in March 2017.
