Bought this and DP cable ports not working properly and screens flicker. Lenovo keeps sending a "replacement" that is incompatible with my workstation and will not fix the issue or take a return.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Thinkpad P17 Gen2 is a laptop that is big, solid build and the Thunderbolt 4 Workstation Dock is the perfect match to make it awesome!! The P17 Gen 2 has the A5000 NVIDA GPU with 16 GB vRAM and 128GB DDR4 memory and a 3840x2180 500nits display, in addition, three 2 TB M.2 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe for fast and large storage. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports are available. Attaching the Thunderbolt 4 Workstation Dock (model 40B00300US) to the P17 Gen2 with two 4k 27" monitors using the 2 DisplayPort Ports that are available on this dock and this plenty of power (300 watts) and plenty of accessory port available for expanding storage or what other devices. IN fact I have a 2 TB PCIe external SDD Gen 4 NVMe connected to the Dock's Thunderbolt Dock and I am getting transfer rates of 2780 Mb/s!! With the latest's firmware and drivers installed this Thunderbolt 4 Workstation dock is working flawlessly for me. I am as happy as I can be with Thunderbolt 4 WS Dock.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This a great dock. Plenty of ports and supports 3 monitors in addition to the laptop monitor. My employer supplied one of these for me, that I have been using for 2 years, I liked it so much when I left the job I had to purchase one for my use. I have only used it with Lenovo P series laptops so I can't speak to how it may work with other machines. If you are using a P series and need a dock this is by far the best option.
Very powerful build. A little choppy and graphic skips. I use heavily with huge sketchup models and Enscape realtime rendering. That side works well. When I open Google Earth pro it is jumpy. Many programs are like that. So, works well on day one but I'm concerned about the future as programs just get heavier and heavier. I am using a near max'd out version of the ThinkPad 16". I backed of the Ram and only have 32gb. Maybe that was a mistake. One big, silly complaint is the swapping positions for the Fn adn Cntrl buttons. They are flipped from a regular keyboard so the Cntrl is inboard. I misfire ALL THE TIME. So, works well but I wish it were faster.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] was so troubling and difficult to have a separate AC power cable and pack to connect my 230 watt Lenovo laptop to my dock. This dock does it all! Only wish it had the ability to support USB-C monitors instead of either HDMI or DVI. Aside from that the magic cable that is also magnetic supplies 230 watts to my laptop and has the USB-C connector to the dock/laptop. Fantastic! Love it
