[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thunderbolt docking station for Lenovo X1 Carbon notebook and ThinkVision screen is ok. I specifically purchased all Lenovo thinking they would be compatible but am disappointed. The notebook will not boot if connected to the docking station. I connect after booting. I am using all latest drivers. I had previously used a USB-C docking station and had similar issues but thought the upgrade would correct them. Not so.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In addition to the tilt feature, the swivel is a wonderful addition. This shows forward thinking to assist users or thoughtful consumer feedback consideration. Regardless, it is a win! I would recommend the product and return to Lenovo for more technical needs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Lenovo X1 series laptop. I keep coming back to the model for the reliability, performance and price point. It has been a great road warrior tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The docking station is well constructed and provides very useful features. However, it does not provide all the features as advertised. It is supposed to support 4 4K displays but doesn't. I am only able to get 3 working and it is impossible to get the two DP to work at the same time. It seems that after updating the BIOS things got worse, so it seems like this is purely a software problem that needs to be resolved. It also gives me hope that the issue can be resolved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the dock to output to 2 monitors for my work laptop, which is Lenovo T14 Gen 3. I have 2 problems. First, the secondary monitor would occasionally flickers sometimes. Secondly, there are horizontal lines on top of my second monitor when I have programs open. Another person has also expressed this issue in the reviews.
For product feedback, I wish Lenovo designed a vertical stand for this dock.
I think the thunderbolt cable is the issue for my second monitor for flickering and showing horizontal lines. I expected more, but I need something for work. I am just hope that the dock does not die.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano from my new employer and was surprised to discover only two thunderbolt ports. I knew immediately I would need a docking station.
I received the Universal Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock a couple of days later and it has resolved a lot of issues I was facing that came from only having two thunderbolt ports.
Like with any docking station, there will be computer adjustments ie: screen flicker, audio quality inconsistencies, software installs, and software upgrades. You may need to unplug and re-plug certain cabling like, HDMI and/or DP, to rectify any visual/audio defects. I had to and it was no big deal, but is the reason for the 4/5 stars.
I have plugged into docking station:
2 - External monitors ( USB-C and Display port ) with one monitor running at 4K.
1 - USB Keyboard
1 - USB Bluetooth mouse
1 - Ethernet cable
1 - USB Microphone
1 - USB Webcam
With ports remaining!
As long as users are keeping up to date with necessary drivers and other software, then you should have a positive experience with it. Just keep in mind that docking stations are great mobile devices, however, operate best if fixated on your workstation for extended periods of time. Unplugging and re-plugging cables can wear on the ports and that could diminish the quality of your experience.
Arrived damaged and not quality I was expecting. Cheaply made.
