Review on πŸ’» Lenovo USA ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen 2: Enhanced Connectivity for Efficient Work by Steve Lawrence

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Out of specification. Failed to download.

As I write this, having only been in the box for a few hours with the new Lenovo T590, I have serious problems: 1. Connection to a DP-based KVM and input switch to this laptop dock is not downloading . I have to turn off my laptop just to boot up. However, once downloaded, I can use the dock, it is recognized correctly.2. Even with only a 4k DP monitor connected I only see 30Hz. Since it's KVM I can switch to other computers and they all get 60Hz on the same display. I also went with a Thunderbolt DP cable and it handles 4k @ 60hz with another identical monitor with no problem. I was really hoping to get a really simple solution to connecting the dock, but so far it's proved a failure. Since this will be checked on day one, we'll have to do some more work with him to see if there are any better answers.
