You can't start you laptop with the dock plugged in. Oftentimes it makes all displays flash and you have to either replug into laptop or completely restart. It doesn't let me plug two external monitors so one has monitor is plugged directly into laptop. As I'm writing this, the monitor going through the dock is blank so I need to do something to get it going again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually haven't used this dock with my new ThinkPad yet. My ThinkPad will be a Christmas gift from my wife, and that's still more than two months away. I was disappointed the dock wasn't fully functional on my work MacBook Pro (2019 Intel), but I really blame Apple for that since they don't fully support the way this dock works with multiple DisplayPort monitors (my Mac basically only sees one display, and while the dock drives both external monitors the Mac mirrors what's on them). The Mac expects the monitors to be daisy-chained, and that's a bad design decision on Apple's part in my not so humble opinion. This is why I don't buy Apple products for myself. Their support of basic standards is horribly abysmal. The iPhone 15 is the first to use a USB-C connector, after how many years of it being a standard? And it was basically the fine folks in the EU parliament that forced their hand, they still would be using that Lightning nonsense if it weren't for that.
On Christmas I will be installing Arch Linux on my ThinkPad as its only OS, and I'm excited to see this dock in action!
