[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Docks are fast and work well. Not enough USB or video outputs but they are pretty good. Need HDMI too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A wonderful base with enough ports for converting my Yoga into a portable desktop with multiple monitors. Plus!!! The docking station charges my Yoga so it is ready to grab and go with a full charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted the dock to work for me. It has a great port selection and the construction seemed solid. It was a bit bigger than I anticipated, but not much. The issue that I had was that was not compatible with the new Lenovo Ideapad Slim 7i pro that I had just purchased. Simply put, the power button would not work. I had contacted Lenovo to find a docking station that would be compatible with the computer and was told that this would work. The passthrough power did charge the laptop, but I still had to open the lid of the computer to power it up. Then, I would have to unplug and replug the dock to have the external monitor work. This sort of defeats the purpose of having a docking station.
I contacted Lenovo tech support, and they did work with me to troubleshoot the issue and finally concluded that the power button on the dock was defective. I was able to return the dock to Lenovo for a refund. Thus, I added a star because Lenovo provided good support, and made the return process easy.
It may be true that the docking station had a defective power button. But, I also think that the Thunderbolt 4 port on the computer may have been incompatible with the device. I ended up using a Thunderbolt 4 hub instead of a docking station, which means I have to keep the laptop open and use the laptop power button, but at least I have an external monitor attached and am able to connect additional components.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a ThinkPad X1 Carbon last month and my old usb hub wasn't getting the job done. This unit is expensive and I debated about the cost but let me tell you it's worth it. Since it also charges my laptop I now have a back up charger. I have dual monitors and use the ethernet port too, everything is quicker now, my screens are brighter and clearer. I had no Idea it would make such a difference but it is great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great, we are able to connect all of our technology, only issue is you need 2 power supplies as it won't pass power through to laptop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works fine and super convenient. Using it with two monitors, and I can enjoy the freedom of having just one USB C cable for charging and everything else. Pretty pricey but does the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works as expected with my Gen 6 TP Yoga. The only reason I dropped one star is the 3-prong power cord supplied. Not fond of those. Much prefer the skinnier 2-prong.
I would recommend this to a friend!
