[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great accessory, but not for Thinkpad workstation laptop as it lacks charging power. I had returned it with a simple drop off to UPS for refund. Now to order the proper dock for my 17” ThinkPad Laptop workstation.
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):
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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product. Make sure to do firmware updates after hooking up for first time. Make sure you get one when you buy a new system--huge discounts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dock was defective and stopped working within a couple days of installation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent dock with enough modern ports to be useful and enough power to charge while in use. Small enough to be out of the way. Has a power button so you can put the laptop out of the way as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: does not overheat, allows for multiple screens to be connected, display is crisp across all connected screens, ethernet port.
Cons: does not come with all the necessary cables for connecting multiple screens.
I would recommend this to a friend!
