Our verdict

A ThinkPad dock bundle with a power adapter and display cables for a two monitor desk. The listing calls it both a USB-C dock and a Thunderbolt workstation dock, so confirm the model and your laptop port first.

Overview

ThinkPad owners setting up a home desk get a dock that adds HDMI, DisplayPort, USB and Ethernet through one connection, bundled with a power adapter. The kit includes display cables and a cloth, so monitors connect straight away.

Bundled cables and adapter make a ThinkPad desk ready to use in one box. The listing contradicts itself on whether this is a USB-C or Thunderbolt dock, and its warranty term is unclear.

Who it's for

Workers on the named ThinkPad T, X, E, L and P models who want monitors, network and accessories on a single cable. Owners of other brands or newer machines should check compatibility carefully.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Power adapter in the bundle
  • HDMI and DisplayPort cables included
  • Wired Ethernet port
  • Six USB ports
Cons
  • USB-C versus Thunderbolt naming conflict
  • Warranty term unclear in listing
  • Firmware update may be required

Performance notes

Display and data run over the single laptop connection, so the number and resolution of monitors depend on what the laptop port supports. Charging comes from the supplied adapter through the dock. When a laptop is not recognised, a dock firmware update is the suggested fix.
