A solid universal dock
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our standard go to docking station for most of our laptops that don’t need a thunderbolt 4 dock. Good balance of feature for the price.

Size Perfect; Performance Poor
Size is perfect but alas I have 2 monitors and sometimes I will get 1 screen, another 2, and others just 1 again. Sadly disappointed. When the monitors go off it does a loud pop like the power is going out.

Does exactly what it should
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a perfectly functional dock that does exactly what it needs. Having a manual on/off switch is a nice bonus, if you want to avoid vampire power drain while you're not using it.

Great docking station for office and work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for setting up laptop and multiple monitors and love how this is the only product I need. No more extra devices and wires. My Lenovo Thinkpad hooks right into the dedicated USB c and it even came with the extra cables to connect to my displays. And it supports 4K. Dedicated ethernet port!

Everything but the HDMI port
The docking station seemed to work with all of the necessary cables and attachments but the HDMI cable from my monitor into the docking station did not work on my PC. But I connected the same HDMI cable directly to my laptop and it worked. I still need a 3rd monitor but since this docking station already failing with only two external monitors I don't want a lemon.

Must Need Device
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Thinkpad dock is a much needed accessory. I have tried every USB C workstation dock, the cheap ones and the expensive ones, and nothing compares to this one. For people like me who use their laptop more like a traveling desktop, you need one (or two) of these so you can plug and play while being able to leave and r...

De clutter the desk.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The universal USB-C dock does just what it is supposed to do. It keeps all my frequent connectors together and out of the way. I only need the one connection to the laptop. I have a couple of thumb drives and a ham radio and my internet connection, and soon a second monitor all tucked away and out of sight instead of c...

Amazing Dock
The dock has worked amazing the entire time besides one circumstance. There was one time everything froze and I needed to manually turn off my computer. Not sure if it was my new computer or the dock. Besides that, everything works incredibly quick.
