Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock | 4 Displays | 100W Charge

So I've got both Ryzen and Intel laptops and even though many of my docks worked okay, they had one or more issues with my dual 34" 3440x1440 144MHz setup. Most won't output the 100W PD I need. Others would have graphic issues or audio cutouts - all sorts of things would crop up. This Lenovo dock has worked really well for me. I did run into some issues where my webcam mic would just stop working on calls, but a firmware update a month or two ago fixed it and it has been solid. Really pleased with this unit.

Recently want to upgrade my Lenovo Thinkpad TB3 dock to this new version, but I found even it fully support Lenovo's own legion laptop with HDMI 2.1 over 4k@120hz. I checked the display info, it shows the card is wired through 'display port' internally. confirmed in game, it's just 4k@120hz, no G-sync, I think it's a limitation on LG CX, it's a special protocol used by LG and nvidia to arrange G-sync compatible. It couldn't output any HDMI signal from my Intel 2019 MacBook Pro 16. I had to use a downstream TB4 port on this dock then connect another USB-C to HDMI 2.0 cable and output to my tv, of course it's limited to 4k 60hz However, it does support my Intel 2020 MacBook Pro 13 and 2021 MacBook Pro 16 which is very strange. Of course, all of them are HDMI 2.0 due to limitation of MacOS And it does USB PD charge with 92w to MacBook Pro but it can't deliver any power to its own Lenovo Legion 7i, even though Legion can support 100w PD charging from TB4 port. Now I'm very confused by this dock. btw, firmware updated to newest 1.07 on lenovo website. Update on 6/5/2023: After a firmware update a while ago, it finally support M1 MacBook output 4k@60hz directly from HDMI port, but too bad due to Mac limitation, it's only HDMI 2.0 signal so no 4k@120hz. But I do "solve" this problem by recent hack from community using a special adapter to convert TB/DP alt signal to HDMI 2.1, I won't go into details, just search Thunderbolt -> HDMI 2.1 solution for M1/2 Mac for solution

Bought this Smart Dock to go with my new Lenova ThinkPad laptop, assuming that would give me best compatibility. It worked great for 2 days. The third morning I got up and had no video connection. After some attempted resets, I noticed that my laptop was running off of WiFi and that the ethernet was not passing any data, and then after a quick check, verified that the USB drives were also not working. a quick check of other reviews here verifies others having failure issues as well. So I will pass on lenova docks in favor of a third party solution

I purchased this docking station to use with my Lenovo X1 Carbon top of line laptop. I initially tried to connect my Dell monitor (with built in speakers) to the HDMI port on this dock. The monitor worked fine, but the sound in the monitor speakers would die out in 3-5 minutes after bootup. Lenovo phone support was outstanding. I was able to get someone on the phone in minutes, they installed the Lenovo Dock Manager on my laptop, updated the firmware to latest version). Unfortunately, even this did not resolve the problem with the HDMI port in my unit (for monitor sound). I replaced the HDMI cable with a Display Port cable, and the DELL monitor AND its built-in speakers worked fine. I decided to keep the LENOVO dock for one big reason - it boots up my laptop on startup (my ACER dock could not), and it does a great job overall. You can also daisy chain this LENOVO dock with another dock for additional ports. I use my ACER dock for SD card ports (big and small) etc.

Plugged in and worked perfectly. Previous Lenovo port purchased in 2021 didn't work with new Yoga Slom 7

It works as expected. Compact form factor. It's flat so cables won't tip it over. Minor downside: I keep the brick on the floor. I wish the cord from the brick to the dock was longer. The length limits placement on the desk. I'm looking at a better layout.

Very good.

Firrst: You need to download the drivers and firmware updates from the Lenovo website before attempting to use this. There probably should have been instructions about that in the packaging. I confirmed that is was compatible with my device before buying it but it would not charge my computer or display the attached monitors. I bought a new computer since Lenovo's site said it would no longer create updates/support my computer. It was an excuse to buy a new computer and not return the docking station. I bought the newest model computer that is 100% compatible with this docking station. The docking station powers the laptop but the laptop cannot receive software updates while plugged into the docking station. The Lenovo computer identifies this Lenovo docking station as malware and the BIOS will not boot up while attached to this. This means I have to unplug the docking station from my laptop nearly every time I open it up to log on. My two attached monitors rarely work while plugged in via the docking station and the computer is hallucinating a 4th monitor that doesn't exist. Lenovo states that this is a known issue of the docking station. I'm unsure why they would roll out production with such a huge bug left to fix. Had I known all this beforehand, I would have gotten an older model docking station that's gone through many more updates and patches so all the bugs were already corrected. Other than that, sleek design, doesn't overheat, plenty of ports for all your needs.

Received a used , damaged, faulty docking station. The device was faulty and keeps disconnecting from display. Luckily i had taken an unboxing video and Amazon helped with a refund.

Seems to have every feature one could need. Correct connections can be tricky.

Fonctionne très bien avec mon Thinkpad. Le prix est élevé mais la facilité de ne brancher qu'un seul fil est un bienfait bienvenu.

This docking station works seamlessly with my Lenovo ThinkPad and should also be compatible with other brands. Just make sure you use the Thunderbolt cable, since it can be easy to mix it up with a regular USB-C cable. The build quality and performance are excellent, and I’d definitely recommend it for a home or office workstation setup.

I received it today, and it does all that I wanted it to do so far. I’m using it with a MacBook Pro M4 Max 2024, with two Full HD displays (plus the laptop’s one), one USB-C and one HDMI (not 4K, I’m a programmer, I don’t need 4K). Tested it with 3 USB-A keys and my fast SSD drive I use with Time Machine simultaneously, plus providing power to the laptop, and it works like a charm. The only downside for me is that there is only one USB-C and one USB-A ports on the front, but I knew that when I bought it, can’t complain. I didn’t test the Ethernet port, the two display ports nor the audio port, as I have no use for them.
