    If you've already placed your order, you may want to see about getting it changed.

    Lenovo has put out a new dock, the 433820U, which has a 135W PSU instead of the 90W of the 810U.


    I have to call them tomorrow to change my order for this, hopefully without it moving my ship date.

    Thank you!

    So I had already ordered 2 of the 810U docks, and ordered them separately. They have already shipped. What would be the affect if I keep these? Originally they were deemed appropriate for the W510?

    Also - is the dock itself the same, with the only difference being the power cord?

    Well, I got my order changed, but it bumped me from 1/17/10 to 1/28/10. I wonder if I would call back and change it from "ship when everything is ready" to "ship as available" if I'd get changed back to 1/17/10...but oh well. At least I got the warranty added.


    *evening update: now it's 2/19/10
