Awesome dock!
This dock is an awesome addition to your workspace, especially if you use your laptop as a home office setup. The best thing about this dock is the connection going back to the laptop is Thunderbolt 3 and not USB C. For those who do not know the difference, Thunderbolt 3 has much higher throughput and energy transfer. If you are running 4k monitors and or a lot of USB devices to your dock, USB C may not have the power capacity to transfer through a single connection back to your laptop. Meaning, you may have to have several connections going to your laptop instead of one, as pictured in my setup.
I am running my dock to a Thinkpad X1 Carbon GEN 7. Below are the devices that are plugged into my dock:
2x - Monitors (HDMI)
1x - Webcam (USB)
1x - Dongle (Wireless mouse and keyboard)
1x - Ethernet
1x - Thunderbolt 3 (Connection from dock to laptop)
1x - Power cable (Included with the dock)
Ports not being used on the dock:
2x - Displayport (My monitors don't use Displayport, so these are free.
I am able to power all of these devices with no issue. The only thing I have ever run into, is the laptop not charging when on the dock. I think this is a BIOS issue with Lenovo. When this has happened, I unplug Thunderbolt 3 from my laptop and plug it back in and the laptop starts charging. This has only happened every blue moon and generally is not an issue.
I would highly recommend this dock as it keeps your work space clean from a bunch of cables and allows you to hook your laptop up easily and quickly!
