[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installing the dock went without any issues. I was able to update the firmware using the Lenovo Commercial Vantage that came with the P16 Thinkpad.
The dock is now attached to two monitors, a USB-C NVME SSD, keyboard, mouse and USC-A to Ethernet adapter for a second Ethernet network.
The dock also powers the P16 Thinkpad, which, using Vantage, is set to keep the battery at between 70% and 80% full.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has everything I need in one convenient, well-powered device, with the added benefit of clearing physical space at my desk.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to make a workstation for my Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop. I selected it primarily so that I could run 3 monitors. This dock has 1 HDMI and 2 display ports. I appreciate the USB and USB-C ports to connect auxiliary devices. At first, I thought the dock was a little large as it is larger than the one I replaced, but the size was OK when I put it in my cable management tray. The cords were long enough to allow plenty of space for my setup and I was able to keep excess neatly wrapped with the original wire tie. I haven't had any issues with it. It has been simply "plug and play" outside of updating any drivers.
So far the dock is good. I have had an issue with one of my screen's glitching. I unplugged the display port connection and plugged it back in and it has worked. As long as that's my only issue, I will change review to 5 stars later, but its still too soon to truely rate a product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so far in my opinion the easiest to use universal docking station I have used. I have used most brands at this point and this one has to be my favorite. Requires no software on the computer and connects flawlessly every time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the thunderbolt gen2 dock. I can tell you unequivocally that the random black screen that occurred in the previous generation dock is still present (although it happens much less frequently)(Search online to see how buyers complaine about gen2 dock black screen issue), which is very disappointing to me. Also thunderbolt downstream interface number is not enough, only one, as well as the lack of sd card slot in a not small total size. I only bought it because it works with my other Lenovo/ TP devices only. Overall disappointment
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[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.
