A must have
Love the dock for my laptop. It has some many ports, USB, HDMI, Network, USB-C, headphone jack. One cord from the dock to the laptop that powers the laptop, does dual or three monitors.It connects to the network and when I unplug it, the laptop goes to Wifi.

Unit incompatible with Windows video drivers
The unit is incompatible with the video drivers that were installed on the computer. For three months there have been several mentions of this problem in the LENOVO community, yet there was no comment or action by Lenovo to address the problem. That did not stop them form continuing to ship this unit to their customers... this is a disappointment!!

Thinkpad Hybrid USB-C docking station
Works flawlessly out the box. I have it connecting two 1440p monitors to a Lenovo X1 carbon. I didn’t have as easy a time finding a docking station capable of supporting two monitors over 1080p so I’m glad lenovo had this quality offering. My only request would be an additional usb-a port on the front for more versatility and that the price could be a bit lower. Otherwi...

All about those ports
I wanted a dock that would be USB-C or USB-A and had two DP monitor connections. This one fits the bill and also accommodates my other peripherals easily.

Really Helpful Laptop Dock
This device is really helpful in turning a workstation laptop into what feels like a desktop computer with multiple screens and no wire (except one) that needs to be connected. The only two reasons this is not a five-star review is because (1) it is not clear what the button on the top of the device does and (2) it does not seem possible to get programs to run dual-scre...

Great and Easy Dock
Easy dock that allows laptop to be connected to external peripherals - monitor, usb mic, keyboard and mouse. Power delivery is great as it allows for a single cable to be connected / disconnected to allow for laptop to become a power desktop setup.

Premium Adapter at a Premium Price
This device does exactly what I hoped. It has a plethora of ports and fully supports my Thinkpad T14 connecting to 2 3440x1440 displays. This allows me to be super efficient with my work laptop. Pairing this with a USB switch and I can bounce between my work and personal machines on the same monitors/equipment with just a few button presses!

Great product if you work from home
I bought this hub to use with my ThinkPad laptop and really appreciate how easy it was to setup. I use it with two monitors and a wireless keyboard and mouse. I make using my laptop feel like I am using a desktop and I find it makes working more productive. I've used it for over a month with no issues. Great product if you work from home.

Works OK, need to be clear it can’t power a laptop
The dock itself is fine, the problem is there was no indication that it wouldn’t output enough wattage to power both the dock and a 15” laptop like the Thinkpad P15v. If I had known it couldn’t I wouldn’t have bought it. If there was an option for getting a larger A/C adapter that could power everything, that would have been ideal, but I didn’t see that as an option. No...

Thunderbolt Power management makds device useless
I was told by lenovo that this would be compatible with my lenovo laptop. It kind of is but required a 4 hour phone session with their support staff to get the docking station operational. It's extremely frustrating that there is little to no documentation to deal describe how to avoid power management issues with these docking stations. Because of the proprietary BIOS ...

Versatile Dock
I like that the dock comes with a connected adapter for a USB connection in case you need to plug in a laptop that doesn't have a USB-C connection.
