Lenovo ThinkPad W530 (N1K4MIX) 15.6" Laptop

The ThinkPad W530 comes with almost every port that would be expected on a workstation.
You get 2x USB 3.0 ports, which is good addition.
For fast single devices like external hard drives and SSDs, the USB 3.0 port is sufficient for decent transfer rates.
Normal DisplayPort and an eSATA port is missing, like in the older model.
It is unfortunate that the mini-Display port forces the user to buy an extra adapter to connect to it.

I like the multiple mouse buttons and the plentiful USB ports.
Three-monitor capability out of the box, four with docking station.
This laptop offers really lots of I/O ports. You can connect almost anything to this laptop.
The only missing port on this laptop is Thunderbolt port.
USB 3.0 ports not blue color, make it hard to know, for what you connection.
