[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a plethora of ports, I just wish the refresh rate would keep up after coming out of sleep mode

Tons of ports but not reliable
on December 28, 2021

Purchased this unit coming from the TB3 Workstation dock, hoping for a reliability improvement, but am sadly disappointed. This dock still exhibits the same wake from sleep issues, as well as random lag/hanging/not being recognized as the TB3 dock did. When it works, it's great, but it's a shame really. All firmware is updated on both the dock and the laptop (T15g Gen 2).

Powerful Compact Dock for the new X1 Extreme Gen 4

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ThinkPad TB4 Workstation Dock is a great companion for the X1 Extreme. It is compact for all the ports provided. All USB ports are 10 Gbit/s. It allows 1 connection to my ThinkPad for easy set up. Set up was easy and every feature is working great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Delivers in performance and size. I have this driving 3 x 4k monitors to my T480. It does the trick ,with 0 overheating. Fast ish sinuo/sync times when connecting. Mostly stable, has crashed desktop once. It might the best TB4 dock out there, but still lacks competition for now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent computer with super specs.
Cons:
- The exhaust port for the fan comes out of the right side of the computer, so if you use a standalone mouse your thumb gets very hot.
- Compared to other laptops this one is slow to start despite having far superior specifications.
- Battery life is short, lucky to get 2 hours if it's not plugged in.

Pros:
- Can drive 4 additional monitors along with the main screen.
- Exceptionally quick at all things. There is hardly any lag time between any operations.

OK as long as you don’t have many USB devices

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It continues to be difficult to get my webcam and external microphone recognized by my Lenovo laptop since I switched to this dock. Nice to not have an external charger, but continue to have challenges with attached USB devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dock works amazingly well for multiple monitor support and I like being able to only have to use one power cable for both. The dock supports my ThinkPad 20YQ, and keeps the wear and tear of the laptop ports to a minimum. I would highly recommend this to any other ThinkPad user.

Thunderbolt 4 Workstation Dock worth every penny
on December 18, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought this docking station was a little expensive, but I've changed my mind. When it arrived I hooked it up once (to my new ThinkPad P17 with Windows 11) and it worked beautifully from the start. After a few weeks of operation it is invisible now. I can disconnect my laptop and use it away from my desk, and when I return to my dock the two DP-connected monitors come alive with the right icon layout and display settings (I keep the laptop closed, two 28-inch, 4k monitors are enough screen for me), the keyboard and mouse, ethernet connection, and various USB connections are instantly back online. The cost, almost $500 with tax, is now a "sunk cost" and will amortize over many years and sink into mediocrity while I enjoy the best dock I could buy at the time.
