(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) My x1 is a power hog, but this hub delivers and makes it easy to migrate from home office to work to the patio. Solid product
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Great little doc, supports the multiple monitors I needed it to
I would recommend this to a friend!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I had an older version of ThinkPad docking stations, in comparison, this one is really not up to a standard. The biggest problem is that it seems to have trouble rebooting after the laptop went into sleep mode. I started controlling this through the docking station, but still have the problem from time to time. This is serious because the entire point of having a docking station is to have multiple monitors start and work at the same time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I purchased it to connect Ethernet and two external monitors to ThinkPad X1 Gen9. The ThinkPad runs Windows 11. Both my monitors are 1K, but it's good to know that support of 8k and 4k is there. The dock has one HDMI and two DP ports. Since DP ports are not quite as common as HDMI or VGA, be aware that you may need to buy an adapter. I'd love to see a VGA port instead of one of DP ports.
After installation, I found that external monitors keep disconnecting after ThinkPad goes to sleep mode, requiring reboot to recover. Luckily, this was addressed by FW update of the dock, BIOS update of the ThinkPad, and Lenovo drivers update. The update did not resolve all problems. For example, my USB headphones keep disconnecting randomly if used via the dock, but work great when plugged into the ThinkPad port. Still, I find the dock operation acceptable.
