Lenovo USB4 Dock Compatibility

Resolution

The Lenovo USB4 docking station provides docking connections using USB4 (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: 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, 2 DisplayPort, 1 RJ 45/Ethernet port, 1 HDMI, and 1 combo USB4 that is used to connect to the computer. On the front of the dock, there are three ports available: 1 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 & 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2

To be fully compatible, the dock must provide adequate power for the device and successfully work with 2 monitors, a mouse, keyboard, and networking. While the following MiWorkspace recommended and supported PC laptops are compatible with this dock, the dock power button only works with the Lenovo laptops:

The following MiWorkspace recommended and supported PC laptops are not compatible because of power issues. This Lenovo dock delivers 65W of power to devices. These laptops cannot be reliably used with this dock, and attempting to do so is not recommended or supported:
