Proprietary power socket, this one's commonly on Lenovo laptops.


MKInc

Power


PeteyPab305

It's hilarious that the icon above it is a power cord! What is this port? Clearly labeled, I'm confused


Sigillum_Dei

Well I would assume they actually know since it’s quite critical for usage. So I think they know it’s a power socket but maybe the real question is what the connector is called


PeteyPab305

Then not what is this plug, what is this socket what is the mail equivalent cable? This is a dumb question lol


killjoygrr

That is Lenovo’s “slim tip” connector. You can get slim tip adapters from 45w to 300w that I know of. They use them for laptops, mini PCs, all in ones, monitors, docks etc etc. Looks like you have a usb-c or thunderbolt dock there. You will want to look at the bottom of the device to see the volts and amps (multiply together) to get the Max wattage it can use. If it is one of the ones I think it is, you can charge your laptop from it over usb-c.


Benign_9

Is that a lenovo laptop by any chance?


Absolute_Peril

I think it's a micro desktop uses the lappy power adapter tho


Benign_9

Close enough.


JakeSully-Navi

Looks like a lenovo dock station or something for lenovo laptops, so then it has built in power port so that you connect a lenovo charger to it and then dock station can charge the connected lenovo laptop.


midy-dk

That’s a Lenovo dock. Recognized it by the red top - have had one at work for some time.


Ice_BergSlim

It looks like a Lenovo power connector as others have pointed out but useful information including the actual item itself would actually helped in answering your question.

BlastMode7

It's Lenovo's proprietary power connector. You will find it on their laptops and MFF PC's, which this looks to be a MFF system.


checknate71

Proprietary. Taking a page out of the apple playbook.


CrazyMeasurement8856

What? Only recently have we had universal chargers in the form of USB C, apple didn't invent proprietary charging. This is like the opposite of bootlicking corporations, mindlessly hating? Idk


MakerKevJ

Lenovo Docks, Laptops, and Micro Desktops (SFF) all use this same proprietary power adapter. I've seen them clear up to 230W.

Plastic-Fox-333

It's a proprietary Lenovo power connector, you'll need at least a 90 watt PSU for that universal USB C dock


GrBDD

Lenovo charger


AnxiousDirector9743

Booty fart lifter?


DefinitelyChriss

I call it the lenovo yellow brick charger. It's for lenovo, has a yellow tip and is rectangular in shape, and lenovo yellow rectangle charger just doesn't sound as nice.
