Lenovo ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock US (40AF0135US)

Great, easy to use and very functional. Two screens + the laptop screen, wireless mouse and keyboard and wired scanner. Very happy.

Dock works fine. Workaround for Display Link issues (like other docks) was to settle for lower Refresh Rate setting. 60Hz on dual 4K via KVM would start to blink in and out. Changing to 30Hz is always solid.

Worked well and did exactuly what it is suppose to for about 6 months. Shut it off on a Friday at work for the weekend and came in on Monday and it would not turn on. Expected better quality from Lenovo that this. Have several Lenovo computers and all work great. Surprising that a support device like this has this kind of an issue.Additionally - buyer beware - I bought this in October 2024 on Amazon with it claiming it was coming from Lenovo. Checking the Lenovo website for the warranty, the product has a 3 year warranty on it. When submitting the S/N to the Lenovo web site for the actual warranty claim for this product it indicated the warranty had expired and the actual product was from 2019. So this was a resale through Amazon that claimed it was coming from Lenovo when it was not.

This dock has finally relieved me of the hassle of constantly plugging and unplugging 7 cables/fobs into my personal and work laptops as I frequently switch back and forth between two computers. The COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown has me working from home during the day and then nights and weekends I want to connect my personal laptop.I wanted to buy the newer model ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 dock since my ThinkPad T470s has one USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, but I have been receiving repeated warnings that the Thunderbolt 3 controller has stopped working and cannot connect to devices and Lenovo tech support has not been able to resolve the problem. This dock supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps whereas the Thunderbolt 3 dock supports 40 Gbps. The performance I am getting fine, I can't tell that I am missing anything.So getting back to those 7 cables/fobs, they are: power, USB-A fob for external keyboard and mouse, gigabit Ethernet, two external monitors connected to the two HDMI ports, USB-A for wireless headset, USB-A cable for wireless headset stand (which recharges headset when not in use).I have gone from 7 cables/fobs down to one. All I need to do is plug the USB-C cable from the dock to the USB-C port on my laptop. What really surprised me is that it powers the laptop too, no need for a separate power cable. I was not expecting this because my laptop uses a special cable with yellow rectangle plug, not USB-C. I also experimented with the USB-C to USA-A adapter so that I can plug the dock into a traditional USB-A port. When I do that, it does not provide power to the laptop, but everything else works. This is documented in the product sheet that comes in the box.

I have just received this today and opened package and set it up.I know it is early, but so far so good.Connection was simple and comes with everything you need. Two monitors set up using HDMI 1 and 2 ports. Power supply is powering and charging my Lenovo ThinkPad.

Out of the box, this is really simple to connect and power on. The labels are clear and easy to read.I use it with a ThinkPad T470, and it sees everything I connected just fine.One thing to be aware of is this device appears as a USB hub in Windows 10, so some device drivers have to be modified.Audio is one example, meaning you'll find yourself adjusting the Lenovo USB Audio if you plug USB audio into it.Monitors, the same thing sort of. You'll need to use the provided software driver for your video card as some of the Windows settings no longer work. Not a big deal to many people, but I wanted to mention it.Right away there was a firmware update for this dock and some driver updates I had to install before it recognized everything I plugged in to it.The USB hub thing is important since if you connect a USB hub to this dock, Windows may push back on you and tell you there isn't enough power or resources to power a hub from a hub.Once all updated and configured, it works perfectly. It took me about 25-30 minutes to get it all done.I paid $250, which I think is too high. But there is nothing else like this out there, so I had to get this one to cut down on the cords and cables all over my desk.Overall, I am glad I bought it and it's an essential part of my desk now.

Connected to this docking station: laptop Lenovo Thinkpad X1 with USB-C (included in the docking station package), two Dell monitors connected with my own HDMI cables, Jabra Speak 510 with its USB-A , JideTech web camera with its USB-A, wireless Logitech keybord with its USB-A, wireless Logitech mouse with its USB-A, and works perfectly with minimum efforts to set up. The laptop can be closed, it is powered from this docking station and the laptop can be turned on from a button on the docking station. The docking station has its own power supply cable and adapter included in the package. Perfect setup for a home office.

Great product
