Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock

2025-02-07T19:00:00

The ThinkPad work station did not have sufficient ports for my application. It has 2 thunderbolt, a HDMI, a usb C, usb A and a memory card reader. There was no ethernet port. I purchased the dock as a way to get a ethernet port. I immediately found that with the Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock it was very easy to disconnect the dock when I needed to use the work station off site. I just had to disconnect the thunderbolt connection to the dock and could leave the rest of my desk setup. I checked with Lenovo sales to insure that this dock was compatible with my work station. I now know that the dock ships with a 92 watt power supply and my work station wants a 170 watt power supply. Disappointing!

The Lenovo Universal Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station works great with my Lenovo Thinkpad X13 gen 2. I have 2 Thinkvision 27" monitors, a wireless keyboard, and mouse hooked to the docking station. I use this setup daily at work. It is an awesome setup that promotes productivity. Our entire office runs on Lenovo laptops and docking stations.

The Dock is a nice addition to get the ports that USED to be standard.

I'm having a difficult time running two external monitors off my laptop. It did work when my IT set things up, but I'm having a hard time replicating. Maybe better or larger print directions would help.

Second monitor is blurry, even after switching wires, monitors, and ports on back of dock. Online service was unhelpful.

We use ThinkPad T15s and similar at work. We have found that using these high quality docks from Lenovo definitely is the best solution. Even our deskside support staff tells us (IT) to recommend Lenovo docks for anyone buying a new dock, as they do not introduce new problems. They are rock solid.

Great dock for the new line of laptops deploying in our environment. Quick to setup and responsive with existing devices as well. No need to configure Thunderbolt Control Center for TB4 connections!!

I bought this to have a "one cable and go" solution for my new Lenovo laptop. It has lots of different ports (currently using 4x USB-A, HDMI, and ethernet) with more USB-C and DisplayPort to spare. I was a bit disappointed that there was a video problem out of the box - my monitor (not Lenovo brand, but has been used with other computers including a Lenovo laptop without issue) was showing "stutters" or little "flickers" of a few rows of pixels. It was intermittent and more than a bit annoying. After some web searching I disabled DSC (display streaming compression) which did not fix the issue. I checked Lenovo Vantage for available updates, but apparently it does not do/check firmware updates for the dock. I did find the latest firmware for the dock online, installed it, and everything has been working fine since then. So, four stars because I was robbed of a great out of the box experience, but otherwise it's a solid performer with no issues.

Good dock for having 3 external monitors and all the peripherals you need.

So far so good. No complaints. Occasionally it seems a bit hot, but have not had any issues with it overheating. It drives a UHD 32" display just fine.

Very good dock. We have 3 of these so far and they have worked flawlessly for Lenovo and non-Lenovo laptops.

Great dock. Runs our 4k multi-monitor setups well. Plenty of ports, works seamlessly with every <5 year old Think* product that we have thrown at it. Not sure what the "Powered by Azure" means, I guess I should check that out.

Top notch docking station with all the functionality you could want. In fact possibly too much. My IT department told me the feature of Azure integration makes it unable to use the onboard NIC since they do not support that feature and it does not allow pass-thru MAC for the laptop. Otherwise its a great dock.

Only 1 HDMI port which is disappointing when standard monitors are moving away from Display ports. More HDMI and less display ports should have been provided.

These devices are bullet-proof. Working very well for our organization. Connect easily, sufficient power, straightforward design, behaves well on our domains.

Well worth the money. I have 3 monitors + my laptop, running 4 screens. Charges my devices really fast. Very simple to setup.

So, I got my hands on the Lenovo ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock a while back, and let me tell you, it's been a lifesaver. As someone working in consulting and dabbling in data analysis, my desk used to be a mess of cables, which was a nightmare for my OCD tendencies. Just Plug It In and Go One of the first things that impressed me was how I didn't have to mess around with settings or installations. I hooked it up to my Windows laptop and my Mac, and both worked without a hitch. As someone not super techy, this was a huge relief. OCD-Approved I can't even begin to tell you how much better my workspace looks now. No more multiple cables cluttering my desk; this dock has spots for everything, from my extra monitor to my backup hard drive. It might sound silly, but a clean desk helps me focus so much better. Late But Worth the Wait Okay, so it did arrive later than expected, which had me pacing a bit. But once it was set up, I forgot all about that. It genuinely made my day-to-day work so much smoother that the wait felt inconsequential afterward. Bang for Your Buck Look, I know it's not the cheapest option out there, but if you're in a job that requires you to juggle multiple tasks and devices like I do, this dock is well worth the investment. It's one of those things where you don't realize how much you needed it until you have it.

Good dock nothing to say negatively about it I was surprise to see only one HDMI output but thatbon me as I did not look at the spec much prior to buy it

It supports USB C but fails to work consistently with my brand-new Lenovo Legion Slim 5i. It will connect to the USB C 3.2 gen 2 ports, but after a restart, the connected displays are lost, and everything needs to be reconnected to get it working. Windows warns that the USB 4 device may not be compatible with the system.. too bad support told me this unit was the correct one to get for my new machine. ALSO.. Item is not eligible for return So looks like I am screwed.
