Can I Use a Dongle with My ThinkPad to Connect to a Projector?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm presenting at a conference soon and in the past, conference organizers provided a projector and screen while presenters brought their laptops and dongles. A few years ago, I used my MacBook for this, but it broke after an accident. Now, I only have my work-issued ThinkPad with my presentation saved on it and in Google Drive. I'm wondering if a dongle would still work with my ThinkPad for connecting to a projector, or if they only work with Apple products. Do I need a special type of dongle for my ThinkPad? Thanks a lot for any help! I reached out to the conference organizers but didn't get a response, so I'm hoping for your insights!

Yeah, a dongle should work with your ThinkPad as long as it connects correctly to the USB-A or USB-C ports. There are tons of different types of dongles available, so you'll just need to check what you have or get a new one that matches your ThinkPad's ports. Just be sure to do some quick research on which dongle would work best for your needs!
