[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great dock for your Lenovo laptop, everything is organized and I can use 2 screens at the same time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sub-par and barely compatible with Lenovo laptops

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a current Gen 3 Lenovo P15v and thought it would be nice to have a docking station since it has Thunderbolt 4 support...overall I am disappointed that this docking station is difficult to set up, lags in performance, and doesn't offer any charging capabilities for the Lenovo P15v. In fact this docking station is more compatible with off-brand laptops, which easily plug and play with a single connection with charging and seamless connectivity for all the expanded ports.
With a Lenovo laptop it required extensive finagling of the display set up to get the correct aspect ratio, resolution, and output orientation for 2 basic resolution displays!! I updated the firmware on the docking station thinking that would help, but it did the exact opposite. I frequently get a swapping of the primary screens, extra large fonts on browsers and desktop icons that intermittently pop up out of nowhere and requires restarting of the machine and this often does not solve the issue. Also, it takes a day and half to wake up the laptop after it goes to sleep. Horrible!!
Lenovo has failed to serve its primary customer who are the loyal owners of expensive Lenovo laptops and who support the brand assuming that they tailor their accessories to be minimally compatible with Lenovo machines.
I wouldn't recommend this docking station if you own a Lenovo laptop, and you might be better off with a 3rd party dock or another brand of laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] works as intended with associated T14 laptop. Plug and play functionality allows me to connect two monitors via displayport, 1 via hdmi, and still use my laptop's native screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rocking four monitors with the help of this dock. Laptop monitor plus two 27" via Display Port and one 24" in Portrait via HDMI. Super easy single Thunderbolt 4 cable connection to my ThinkPad. Amazing amount of monitor real estate for all my multi-tasking needs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased to connect an X13 Yoga Gen 3 to multiple devices with just one Thunderbolt cable (the laptop is in tablet mode upside-down on a stand for the TB port to be conveniently on the right side):
1x 34" wide screen (3440x1440) via HDMI
1x 34" wide screen (3440x1440) via DP
1x 24" XP-Pen pen display (2160x1440) via USB-C
1x STERLING audio interface via USB-A
1x Logi Unifying receiver (for MX Keys and MX Anywhere 3 mouse)
All devices are working at the same time, it is amazing, one cable!
I hibernate via the power button (still accessible in tablet mode) and when I turn it on again (Windows Hello works even upside-down, thank you Lenovo for not putting the TB ports on both sides...), all devices work as expected.
The dock has holes to be installed under the desk with screws (as I did), very nice, but, probably, you will need to buy a longer and expensive TB cable in that setup.
Sometimes the monitor on HDMI disconnects for a moment and that can change some icons/windows location on the main desktop, I don't know if it is a monitor or a dock problem.
Very happy with the purchase, so far :).
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Currently using it on my Acer Aspire laptop. Plenty of I/O, more than enough charging power, great build quality that could last me many years of office use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
