Lenovo Universal Thunderbolt 4 docking station compatibility
Resolution
The Lenovo Universal Thunderbolt 4 docking station provides docking connections using Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C) technology. On the back of the docking station there are multiple ports for connecting other devices. In addition to the AC power in connection, the back of the device has the following ports available: 1 USB-A 3.1, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (bottom one provides always-on mobile device charging), 2 DisplayPort 1.4, 1 RJ 45/Ethernet, 1 HDMI, and 1 standard Thunderbolt 4, and 1 combo Thunderbolt for connecting the computer. On the front of the dock there are three ports available: 1 USB-C 3.2 Gen2 (provides always-on mobile device charging), 1 USB-A 3.2, and 1 3.5mm combo audio.
To be fully compatible, the dock must provide adequate power for the device and successfully work with 2 monitors, a mouse, keyboard, and networking. The following MiWorkspace recommended and supported PC laptops are compatible with this dock but the dock power button only works with the Lenovos:
- HP EliteBooks 840 G5, 850 G5, 840 G6, and 850 G6
- Dell Latitudes 5410, 5420, 5430, 5440, 5520, 5530, 5540, 7400, 9410, 9420, 9430, 9440
- Lenovo ThinkPads T14 Gen3, T14 Gen4, X13 Yoga Gen 3
- Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen5 and P1 Gen6 - the dock works but does not charge the battery
The following MiWorkspace recommended and supported PC laptops are not compatible because of power issues. This Dell dock delivers 130W power to Dell devices but only 90W to non Dell devices. These laptops cannot be reliably used with this dock and attempting to do so is not recommended or supported:
- Dell Precisions 5550, 5560, 5570, and 5680
