[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does get warm sometimes, and I had issues when enabling the MAC passthrough option. But, it has more than enough wattage to charge my laptop via PD. It's got a TB port that's not used for power so you can connect something like an eGPU without needing that device to provide power. It would be nice if it had an SD slot, but the mix of USBA & USBC is nice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works seamlessly with my Lenovo T14 Gen 3. Love the multifunctional connections on this docking station. I have noticed it does produce a good amount of heat when utilizing for 10+ hours but does not seem to disrupt any functions.
Second monitor is blurry, even after switching wires, monitors, and ports on back of dock. Online service was unhelpful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm having a difficult time running two external monitors off my laptop. It did work when my IT set things up, but I'm having a hard time replicating. Maybe better or larger print directions would help.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lenovo Universal Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station works great with my Lenovo Thinkpad X13 gen 2. I have 2 Thinkvision 27” monitors, a wireless keyboard, and mouse hooked to the docking station. I use this setup daily at work. It is an awesome setup that promotes productivity. Our entire office runs on Lenovo laptops and docking stations.
ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock Improv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ThinkPad work station did not have sufficient ports for my application. It has 2 thunderbolt, a HDMI, a usb C, usb A and a memory card reader. There was no ethernet port. I purchased the dock as a way to get a ethernet port. I immediately found that with the Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock it was very easy to disconnect the dock when I needed to use the work station off site. I just had to disconnect the thunderbolt connection to the dock and could leave the rest of my desk setup. I checked with Lenovo sales to insure that this dock was compatible with my work station. I now know that the dock ships with a 92 watt power supply and my work station wants a 170 watt power supply. Disappointing!
