Independently of this:
If you want to use it with a thinkpad, order the 230w power supply and the split plug (usbc + lenovo charging plug) with it! In the configuration sold, it is otherwise of very limited use for your own devices...
This is not a DisplayLink dock. The computer needs to make a Thunderbolt connection and send the multiple display signals over it. This should work with the M4 Mac (https://support.apple.com/en-us/101571).
Here is a list of DisplayLink docks: https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/displaylink-products-list
Hi. You only have one HDMI port, but 2 DisplayPorts (but you can only connect 2 screens, so either 1x HDMI and one DisplayPort or 2 x DisplayPort); USB you have 4 ports (but not all supply voltage). I can't say if it works with the Surface because I don't have any experience, Macbook works, but the same thing is displayed on both monitors because Apple apparently doesn't support a protocol that is needed (says the I-Net and I really couldn't get it to work). Hope this helps.
This cable seems to be suitable:
StarTech TBLT3MM (2 m)
Here are the correct specifications:

The docking station is specified with 135 watts, but the max. supply of the notebook is only 100 watts.

I picked up this product from a Digitec store. The original product packaging sealed by Lenovo bears the manufacturer number 40B00135EU. When I picked up the product, I asked an employee at the store for a Swiss cable and received a separate Swiss cable from him. Since the product 40B00135EU differs from the product 40B00135CH only in the type of plug (EU or CH), it can be said that I ultimately received the same as the model 40B00135CH. I don't know if the Swiss cable is included with other delivery methods for this product.
Hello,
At the time of the P52, only the "ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Workstation Dock Gen 2 (all country power adapters)" was supported.
supported. The TB4 workstation docks are also backwards compatible with TB3. (However, the "old" P52 models are not listed).
GGF. you can keep an eye out on the relevant platforms for a *used* TB3 workstation dock :) --> Lenovo 40AN0230EU It was officially listed in the compatibility list and you can find it at reasonable prices...
if you have a lot of time and leisure look here:

I would like to connect a USB 3.0 extension cable to the dock which goes to a USB hub which is mounted under the table... the LED of the USB hub lights up but when I want to connect my headset or mouse or keyboard there is no signal....
i also only get a lit LED when i use the USB port with the plus... all others don't work... :(
Anybody have an idea or a tip?
PS: when i plug the mouse or keyboard tongle into the dockinstation i don't get a signal either....
PS,PS... haven't restarted the laptop since I got the dock... maybe this will solve my problem tomorrow.... 🙏🏼
Greetings and thanks
This is not what the docking station is actually intended for. From the manual: "The dock works with notebooks that support industry-standard USB C Alt Mode or Thunderbolt™ protocols through their Type-C™ connector" I have never tried it myself, but I can imagine that the transfer rate is not high enough with a USB 3 adapter. The fact that the power ports work better is probably an indication of that. But there are alternative docking stations from Lenovo with USB 3, or both, USB 3/Thunderbolt ports.
But what else could you try?
- Update the drivers manually
- Update the dock's firmware
- Turn off USB power saving options in DOS.
It needs a USB-C to USB-C cable. There are some that go for 100 watts, so I would pay attention to that, I wouldn't take a cheap one. Thunderbolt cables don't really exist directly, because they are technically USB-C cables, but I would recommend this one from Lenovo, it can handle 100 watts:
Lenovo USB C - USB C (0.70 m)
So if the Lenovo X13 Yoga Gen2 has a USB-C or Thunderbolt port, that should work. Thunderbolt also includes image, sound, data and of course charging. But you can also charge with a normal USB-C to USB-C cable, if the notebook can do that (some can only transfer data to the USB-C port, but not power delivery, that's the keyword, if PD and DP work, everything is good, DP then stands for DisplayPort, i.e. image transfer via USB-C).
