USA Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen 2 (40AS0090US)

I've gone through 3-4 different usb-c docks in an attempt to find something that consistently works with my hardware setup and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This dock seems to be the best value for what it is. It's well-supported on Fedora 42, all the components work, everything I plug into the usb ports behaves normally. I also like that it comes with its own power brick. The way I see it, if you're using a docking station with your laptop, it defeats the purpose if you have to crawl under your desk and unplug the power supply every time you undock it. In all, an excellent hub that solved multiple problems for me. Highly recommended.

T480 Linux user here. The dock kept disconnecting randomly. I tried everything to fix it. It turns out I was connecting it to the wrong USB-C port. I was connecting it to the power port. It's supposed to be connected to the USB-C port inside the thunderbolt port below that. After that it works great. No complaints.

I have become spoiled using 2 external monitors with another laptop I used for several years. Current laptops' commuting abilities make them usable for me for all my needs whether in the office, traveling, or in class. However, the small single laptop screen is not as easy to view with my eyes as it was 10 years ago. I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon, Gen 7 based on previous good performance of an earlier Thinkpad. This docking station works well, but like most new laptops it connects via the super/lightening/all in one USB C connection. I would prefer the older style connector, but this most be the way PC makers want to go. The setup was fairly quick and worked almost like plug and play with my two existing monitors. I had to invest a few minutes to set up the monitor displays as I wanted, but this probably the case with any docking station. I looked at the cheaper knockoff docking stations, but was not impressed with their reviews. Some also do not charge the laptop which makes them almost worthless. This Lenovo branded dock was certainly not cheap and I probably paid a premium for the name. So far it is working as advertised to charge my laptop and seamlessly switch to the external monitors when I plug it into my laptop.

This docking station is great for Lenovo PCs. It allows for dual monitor hook up and it’s easy to set up and highly recommend this doc for any Lenovo PC.

As others have noted, I do not believe this was a new product. It arrived in a non-descript box and was missing the USB-C cable that is referenced in the user documentation. I would have been willing to overlook the missing cable, but the dock itself did not function correctly. While it did charge my laptop, it never connected to external displays. Multiple attempts to update the dock firmware failed. Lenovo technical support confirmed that the dock’s serial number indicates it was originally purchased in 2020 and is outside Lenovo’s warranty window. I purchased this item in 2026. Lenovo support was therefore unable to assist. Based on packaging, missing components, and Lenovo’s own records, this does not appear to be a new product.

Not much else to say since the product itself is pretty self explanatory in its specs. If you just need a pretty simple docking station that allows display out and charges your laptop at the same time, then this seems to be the best bang for buck out of the docking stations I researched. It also has a pretty healthy amount of ports considering its size. I don't travel for work, but if I did, this charging station would also be perfect for travel since it is so compact. The only thing to consider is that power brick as well, which is more or less the same size as the docking station. I haven't had any connectivity or power issues, seems like a very reliable unit. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who just needs a basic laptop docking station.

Love it. I use the same set up at my office at my company and my office at home, each with a 32” BenQ UHD professional 4K display. One USBC cable to plug in and out. Works seamlessly. Would buy again and recommend in a heartbeat.

Not working properly. The display port malfunctioned without any use

Es fácil de conectar a la Laptop y facilita el conectar cualquier equipo que tenga puerto compatible con el Docking, como HDM, USB, etc,,

I bought the stocking station as a hub for my daughter’s Lenovo laptop set up, which includes a monitor and many peripherals. It has been very reliable and has shown to be very simple to set up and use. I highly recommend this unit for those setting up computer workstation at home for study or work.

Sure it is expensive, and has some issues with display not showing up (fixed by updating firmware and plugging out/in the laptop USBC cable). But apart from that it works pretty good with all the devices i have connected so far. My 32 inch 2560x1440 LG monitor works like a charm at 144hz using displayport.
