As laptops are getting thinner, we need new solutions for our docking stations. Lenovo came up with the new ThinkPad Ultra Dock or ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station.

You can lock it into the ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station, and unlock it again with the key set. Then you press the button on the ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station to unmount.
