Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doesn’t meet expectations. There is only 1 HDMI port. Performance on this port is flakey. Screen goes dark randomly. I have a different Lenovo dock with 2 HDMI ports that works fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great/No Issues Works great, no issues to report. I wish it had a power button so I didn't have to open my laptop each time, but other than that, this a great Thunderbolt 3 dock powering both of my 32" external monitors

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So so It has limited utility. It doesn’t charge the laptop. The display ports are iffy at best. Though if you have a home office and plug and unplug your laptop often, which I don’t, it could be nice to have less cords to plug and in plug

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product But Requires Setup The dock works wonderfully and is super fast. However, downloading drivers and updating firmware was a bit of a pain, but after some time on Lenovo’s website and Lenovo Vanatge, everything works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great, until it doesn't I use this with a Yoga C930 laptop. About 2-3 times a day, the laptop crashes with a blue screen only when using this docking station. I've even updated all drivers and firmware, tried new thunderbolt cables, and diagnosed my memory. I purchased this item because it was on the recommended accessories list, so I assumed that compatibility is not an issue. I would like to revise this review if I can solve this issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Dock, but........ This dock is perfect for my needs with my Ideapad S740. Keep in mind that you will have to update the firmware and download the driver from the Lenovo website. Lenovo can automatically recognize the dock and will suggest the correct files to download, so it's really easy. I did have an issue with the dock's Thunderbolt connector (to connect to the computer, but I sprayed it with a little contact cleaner and now it works perfectly!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Need to purchase extra adapters for full function. Product seems to work well. easily paired to my think pad.The Thurderbolt chord to connect to laptop counld be longer. My thinkpad is connected to a larger monitor,and I wanted to use the drawing capabiliities of my think pad flat against my desk in front of me, chord placement limits it's mobility. I also wish it had anoth HDMI port, with out having to purchase more adapters for this dock.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Convenient product for productivity, Easy to use and very productive. Reliable audio far, could have combined power supply in one rather than plugging the doc and computer separately

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size, ports and performance. Just what I needed. Small but powerful. This is a space saver that allows me to still use a large monitor and full size keyboard when I want to close the laptop and pretend it's a desktop. The Ethernet port also gives me full gigabit at my desk so I don't have to worry about a weak wifi signal. It allows me the same productivity in a small package that my old IBM Port Replicator did on my T40 17 years ago. Bravo Lenovo.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Needs more power This dock provides basic functions but falls short on a couple of them. It doesn't supply enough power to my new ThinkPad, so I still have to use an additional AC adapter. I would prefer to just attach one cable instead of the two required to operate my ThinkPad. Also, I could use some additional USB ports.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent addition for home office Was straighforward to use right out of the box. Downloading drivers was a little difficult, but was readily compatible with my Thinkbook. Very nice being able to power two external monitors in addition to the laptop screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent value for the setup I've had this product for about a month now. It does exactly what I expected it to, and it's one of the few docks that had USB-C ports for charging my phone at a reasonable price (almost everything else was $100 more).
Date published: 2021-03-13T00:00:00-05:00
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overpriced without plug and play features. This is the 2nd Lenovo dock I have purchased that DOES NOT WORK with my brand new Lenovo laptop. Get it together Lenovo. Not everyone has hours upon hours to research why these docks do not work when you clearly say they do on your site. The problem with THIS one was the passive and active display port. Really? Basically I have to buy another monitor to make this work because you cannot use a DP to USB cable on this dock. No thank you. I will buy an off brand USB-C dock that is plug and play for less than $40. Seriously Lenovo. You make nice laptops. Either stick to that only or make 2 or three thunderbolt docks that work with every dang laptop that you make with thunderbolt ports. I will NOT be buying any more Lenovo accessories period.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thunderbolt 3 Essential Dock I purchased this dock for my 12 year old daughter for when she is virtual schooling from home. It’s convenient with the single thunder bolt 3 cable and small enough to tuck it out of the way. She loves that it charges her laptop as well as connecting her keyboard, mouse and monitor with ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked like a charm Easy setup and smooth operation right out of the box. I've used many Lenovo docking stations over the years, and they just keep getting better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small, light, compact and AWESOME! Small, compact and not bulky. Doesn't take up much space on my desk, which I love. Has additional USB ports that hook up to your laptop giving you more space to attach external storage or other devices to your computer. Only downside is that there is only one port for an HDMI cable. Wish it had more than one. Other than that...10/10 do recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Helps keep my desk clear and clutter free This is pretty much what I hoped for, 1 cable to plug into my pc. It even powers my pc. Set up was easy and obvious, plug stuff in where it goes, power it up and your off and running. Helps keep my desk clear and clutter free. The reason for 4 stars vs 5 is, it does not always power up my external hdd when everything comes out of sleep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from D or ++D, do you know the difference We spent nearly a month trying to figure out why the Display Port would not work on the Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 Essential Dock. After hours on the phone, emails, tickets, no one at Lenovo nor any search results helped. We finally figured out that there are 2 different protocols for Display Ports, the Passive DP with the symbol D and the Active DP with the symbol ++D. The essential dock has a passive display port so DP to HDMI will not work. We returned all 4 Essential docks and purchased the ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen 2 which includes 2 active DP and an HDMI port. Plug and Play and all was well. THIS NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED BY LENOVO.
