About Lenovo ThinkPad Universal USB-C Dock - 40AY0090
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
84% found it compatible with devices,yet
The docking station worked fine despite being listed as not compatible with my AMD Ideapad laptop.
I expected an easy experience with my ThinkPad T480, but after 2 hours of troubleshooting, I gave up. It seems that I have faced issues with the docking station while trying to use it with my laptop.
I bought two of these to replace two USB-C Gen-2 docks that did not support full 1920x1080 resolution on my Lenovo E15 Gen-2 AMD laptops.
The docking station works with my Dell laptop most of the time, but rarely ever works properly with either of my ThinkPad laptops.

84% appreciated the durability; however
I have been using Lenovo products for years and find this docking station great with plenty of connections and options to attach peripherals.
I have experienced a problem with the docking station where one of the external monitors randomly blacks out for five seconds. I have tried updating drivers, software, and BIOS several times over a three-month span, but the issue persists. My coworker with an identical setup has also faced this issue.

On this Dock, I never face mouse drag problem and the wake up button works on the notebook.
I found the product easy to install and it worked right out-of-the-box.
Fixing the issue of screens not waking up is easy by unplugging and plugging in the USB-C connector.

I noticed that the docking station was recommended and compatible, but it only provides 90watts of power on my laptop that needs 130watts. This means I have to keep the original power cord plugged in.
