Needed to RMA my first dock as a firmware upgrade made it incompatible with my monitor for some strange reason. Second dock was newer and less problematic but I still ran into issues where the ethernet port would randomly drop for ~5 sec. Ended up needing to buy a separate USB ethernet adapter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This the best docking station. It work perfectly and the price is great if you don't need many plugs.

Doesn't work with my ThinkPad X13

With the Mini Dock connected to my Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 AMD, my monitor is not detected when connected to the Mini Dock's USB-C port (with an USB-C to DisplayPort cable) or to its HDMI port. My X13 has the latest BIOS, and the Mini Dock the latest firmware, still no success. My monitor works perfectly when connected directly to the X13 either through USB-C or HDMI.
USB-A and Ethernet work fine with the Mini Dock, but it is very disappointing not to be able to connect video. I haven't tried the VGA port, don't care about it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Simple and less expensive way to have a docking system. Use my L13 Yoga in tablet mode for monitor and computer and have second monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers plugged into dock. Very adequate for workstation at both home and office.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does what it says it does. Docks are not as integrated as in the old days, but more critical than ever. This one is reasonably priced and gives the port and display expansion needed to turn a laptop into something you can work on for a full workday without wrecking yourself.
