Compatibility resolved with Lenovo docking station
Great product - resolves seemingly compatibility issues I had with my Dell docking station. Now I have a lenovo thinkpad laptop and docking station and monitor and love how they work together without issue!

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.

Dock works great
This dock works fine for our laptops - we have multiples of them so we can leave at various workstations for sales to use.

Exactly what I wanted
This docking station works exactly as I expected it would. My main needs were to supply power to my laptop, connect my Epson V550 scanner, connect an external monitor, and provide additional USB ports. It is compact and attractive. No regrets!

A welcome Addition
I like it a lot so far. I was used to those tray-style docking stations like the ones that we had at work. This one is even more multi-functional and takes up a lot less space.

Excellent Product
The ThinkPad Universal USB-C Dock has quickly become one of the most valuable pieces of equipment in my workspace. It’s rock-solid, reliable, and performs exactly the way professional gear should. With a single USB-C connection, I’m able to run multiple external monitors, hardwire my network, connect peripherals, and charge my laptop—all without thinking twice.

Slightly underpowered hub for ThinkPad X13.
I upgraded from my old USB A hub to USB Hub as part of the purchase of the ThinkPad X13. It works for most part since the laptop is complaining that I have to switch to a higher power charger for faster charging. The hub puts out 60W and the laptop wants 65W. It charges fine, but I can't seem to find a setting to turn off the notification. I am fine but others might com...

A solid universal dock
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.

Does exactly what it should
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
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
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 return to your saved settings.
