Takes l;ittle time to get used to it but once it does, it pretty cool
Its different than pushing your laptop to doc station conventional method. its actually easy with the help of slider to connect to Dock.

Endless Firmware Troubles
Our company has been purchasing these style docks for the past 5 years or so and have never had issues with them from the Lenovo T430 through the T470. These new thunderbolt docks however have been nothing but trouble. A large quantity of the ones we've deployed have display output issues, and USB detection problems, all software/driver based out of the box. It took a while, but Lenovo finally started pushing firmware updates out to rectify these issues. However their Windows 10 app is so bad it will sometimes fail to ever find updates, and when it does, they will sometimes fail to install. Even after all updates are completed a few users still experience problems. When these docks work they're fine, but our experience so far has been nothing but frustration.

Must-have for Multi-Monitors marred by misbehaving firmware
The Lenovo ThinkPad docking station is an essential tool for those of us using multiple monitors. Can't live without it. However, the shipped-with firmware performed erratically when waking up the laptop. Sometimes it recognized my two external monitors, sometimes it didn't. This is a known problem for at least six months. Took a firmware upgrade to fix it. Given the market both the Lenovo ThinkPad and the docking station is aimed for, this is surprising. Couldn't the upgraded firmware come pre-installed at this point?
I also found the two-step process for engaging and disengaging the laptop to the station awkward compared with the "push button" process in prior models.
Despite this, I gladly live with it to gain my screen real estate.

sockets not so great
I found that the HDMI socket was too loose a fit. My monitor starting blinking on and off. I had to bypass the docking station and plug directly into my laptop to fix the problem.

It works. I wanted/needed it for dual monitor support, but doesn't have two HDMI ports, so I'm using one HDMI and one USB > HDMI converter

High-end docking station for ThinkPad P53s, A485, T495 and others
I prefer having the traditional docking station compared to using the thunderbolt dock which uses a USB-c type connector. It maintains the classic ThinkPad style.
I use this with a Ryzen based ThinkPad A485 and can drive 3x 1440p external displays + laptop display.
I also use this with a ThinkPad P53s and can drive 2 external displays + laptop screen or 3 external displays without the laptop screen.
Lots of USB ports and modern display connectors 2x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI and 1x legacy VGA (D-Sub).
If you have an issue with displays going blank on P53s or other intel based ThinkPads you will need to install Lenovo Vantage to have it update the firmware used with the docking station.

Great product.
The item is as described, works great. I haven't had any issues, you just need to make sure you dock the laptop on the station in the correct position so you don't break anything when trying to lock it in.

Fits perfectly
Fits the laptop and provides a keyboard angle that is helpful. Multiple extension ports allow for easily connecting peripherals.
Having an issue with a second monitor blacking out occasionally. Working to figure out if it is the adapter or something with the laptop. Leaning towards an issue with the adapter right now.

not all monitors work
it needs more than one hdmi plug, can't really use it. Can I return it? or trade it for the "lenova usa thinkpad thunderbot 3 dock gen 2". That Lenova is best.

Docking is not secure and cumbersome
Computer can easily be misaligned and when latched damage the C connection. Not user friendly design for docking at all! We have several that will seem to be docked but then disconnect from the network or video displays when bumped. Poor design compared to previous model.

No problems!
Very easy to set-up. Although it's a tad old school, it works perfect. Tried two others, but come to find out they weren't compatible.

Lenovo ThinkPad Docking Station
Station works well, Nice that it comes with its own power cord and you don't have to use the PCs cord for power. Get rid of the key lock option.

Good solution to connect all my peripherals
The docking station is well designed. I wish it had one more HDMI port for dual monitors instead of having to use a DVI port instead.
I'm also wary of the slider that connects the docking station to the laptop. I'm being very careful with it because I'm afraid when I disconnect the laptop from it that it might break if I pull on it too hard.
So as long as I am careful when disconnecting the laptop from the docking station, I feel this is a very good solution to connect all my peripherals.

Must buy!
It is very easy tp use and expands features and connections.
When you need ThinkPad alone, it just plug out from docking station.

Buy this docking station.. It's amazing.
Love the docking station. It helps out a lot. It is so amazing that I had to buy them for the other employees that we hired. We will definitely purchase them for our new employees when we hire them.

Only good when it works
Honestly, I would give it a 1 star but I will give it a 2 star as when it works, it works great. I have done everything from firmware updates on the dock to updates on our Lenovo laptops and even the monitor. With that said, some units still break and require an RMA. Definitely was far better when IBM owned the thinkpad line.
Be aware that there are also update to Intel Management softwares that also could break it and Lenovo has no path or solution. Also, there is only 1 HDMI port and 2 Display port which makes no sense to me as I had issues with Display port and display port connection and had to use HDMI and display port of it to work. USB-C also only works with HDMI but cant use USB-c for 2 monitors.
