Unfortunately, I haven't tried this because we only have a Lenovo notebook connected. But basically, any docking that is equipped with USB C should be able to be connected. The only thing that could still be critical: the power of the docking (135W). Whether this is sufficient!
Kind regards

Yes, Lenovo does a great job in this regard. Firmware updates also come directly from Lenovo via LVFS:

Hello In my opinion it will not work. Idea Pad Flex 5i does not have a Thunderbolt interface. USB-C is not the same as Thunderbolt. USB-C Docking ! You have a right of return.
Hello Markus
I also use 2 laptops with the doc.station (Dell and Lenovo, WIN10), also with regular switching of the devices. With me, the 2nd monitor also needs a little help, sometimes it is recognised directly when booting up, sometimes not. But the problem is solved by plugging the Thunderb. cable into the laptop. I have no failures with the network. What kind of network cable do you have? I use digitec Ethernet patch cable RJ45 S/FTP, Cat. 6a, 10m.

Use my business notebook (also HP Elitebook G6) on the docking station and have never had any problems. However, it is important to make sure that the notebook is shut down and unplugged after finishing work, otherwise the battery can inflate and would have to be replaced.
Since it is LENOVO, you should always check for updates or firmware for the docking station so that you can enjoy the docking station for longer.
Hello all,
Does the dock support (or does anyone have experience with) alternating connection of two laptops (in my case a Win10 laptop from Dell and a MacBookPro). I run both laptops on the same dock with monitor/keyboard/mouse/network connected and have to switch between the two devices several times a day.
Thought I can now just plug the USB-C Thunderbold cable over from one laptop to the other and everything switches over nicely, this is unfortunately not the case. The network doesn't seem to be able to cope with the switch, I don't get a connection to my router after the second switch at the latest and can only fix this by resetting the dock (disconnecting the power and reconnecting it).
Should the dock support switching from one laptop to another? Can other docks do this?
Thanks for your tips and help.
Markus
Hello Together
I have now connected the docking station. Firmware updates etc. done. But there is one problem I can't get any further with. When starting up the

I always get the message: The connected power supply has a lower wattage than the recommended power supply supplied with the system. To use the mains power, please connect the mains adapter supplied with the system.
Does anyone know this problem?
Or can I get a 230W power supply and the problem would be solved?
Power supply strength of the Yoga: 135W
Power supply strength of the docking station: 135W
Thunderbolt 3 cable: Max. 100Watt
Thanks for your help :)
We connected a Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga and a Thinkpad T480 to this docking station.
The Thinkpad T480 has two Thunderbolt 3.0 ports. Nevertheless, it is the Yoga that works without any problems.
On the T480, the station keeps losing contact with the keyboard and the external sound card only delivers faltering sound. Interestingly, the screen has no problems (perhaps only USB?). The problems also occur when only the screen and keyboard are attached.
Has anyone had similar problems and know of a solution?
Good day to you all,
I have a Yoga X1 4 Gen and bought a docking station. The power supply has 135w. Now, when I start it up, it always says that the power supply is too weak and that I should connect the correct power supply. The original power supply has 65w. The Yoga also does not charge completely via the Thunderbolt of the docking station. I.e. the display shows that the notebook is connected to the mains, but the battery level gets lower and lower until, although connected to the mains, it is so low that I have to connect the original mains adapter.
I already had an X1 Carbon and the same drama.
Maybe someone can help me, otherwise the thing has to go back. BIOS and other updates all done.
Thanks and best regards
Bernhard
