Type of review

There was a label attached to the box that contained the item I ordered. After several hours trying to get it to work, I checked the model number on the device and it turned out to be not the model I ordered and did not match the additional label on the box. This was nothing new either, since the packaging of the product parts (USB cable) was already open. And after contacting Levno and Revain customer service, the good news is that Revain has accepted the return. On arrival the unit was deadโ€ฆ

I can't get this dock to use any monitor

The dock acts as a power source and connects USB devices, but doesn't recognize my monitors. I have a Carbon X1 Gen 6 which is on the compatible laptops list. I updated the drivers and firmware but that didn't fix the problem. When I connect an HDMI or DP cable to the dock, the laptop screen keeps turning on and off until I unplug the cable. I tried using the Intel Graphics Control Panel and tried the Windows display settings. I tried different HDMI cables and DP cables. I tried 4 differentโ€ฆ

  • Sleek design

DisplayLink USB-C on Docks

I use it at home in the shared workspace that my wife and I use when we work from home. I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga gen 2 and it uses a Surface Pro 4. We bought it because it offers USB-C connectivity for my Yoga and USB-A for the Surface Pro. It works fairly well for both laptops, although it's a little disappointing that DisplayLink is used when connected via USB-C. My Yoga is still powered via USB-C through the dock, which is fine, just no live video. I was expecting DisplayLink for USB-A. Butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expensive

Took a while but works great

This docking station is perfect for my business laptop (Lenovo T470s). It charges my laptop, has a USB-C port for my external SSD and several other USB ports for my flash drives, the front headphone jack is handy (although I never used it). Front USB-C and USB ports provide easy access to connect your phone or other device. All of this is done with a single USB-C cable running to my laptop. The only issue I had was that while it recognized all the peripherals I had plugged into it, it didn'tโ€ฆ

  • Free for educational purposes

Great product once you set it up.

Out of the box it's very easy to plug in and turn on. Labels are clear and easy to read. I use it with a ThinkPad T470 and it sees everything I plug in perfectly. Note that this device shows up as a USB hub in Windows 10, so some device drivers need to be changed. Audio is an example, that means set up Lenovo USB Audio if you connect USB audio to it. Monitors are the same. You must use the supplied software driver for your graphics card as some Windows settings no longer work. It's not a bigโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Some cons

Great features/design, poor shipping

I have a 2021 Lenovo Yoga 15. Great all round laptop with dedicated graphics card. No complaints. I've done a lot of research on Thunderbolt/USB-C docking stations that fit me when I'm at home, using my 32" 4K monitor and peripherals. When I bought the laptop, I didn't realize that TB's max power is currently 100W. As a result, I couldn't power on my laptop directly from either dock at all. I don't blame this dock. Ports and port options I've seen on every TB dock I've researched. Combined with

  • Great price

Great solution if you don't have a Thunderbolt 3 port

This dock has finally saved me the trouble of constantly plugging and unplugging 7 cables/dongles on my personal and work laptops as I often switch between two computers change . The COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown forces me to work from home during the day and then I want to plug in my personal laptop at night and on weekends. I wanted to buy a newer ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock since my ThinkPad T470s has a Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port, but I got repeated warnings that the Thunderbolt 3 controllerโ€ฆ
