Review on Lenovo Option Mobile ThinkPad USB C by Mateusz Grzesiak  (M ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

In general, I had a good time visiting the station and thought it was quite neat. Without it, there were too many cords cluttering the area surrounding the laptop for me to feel comfortable lying on the sofa with it. And earlier there were six wires from the laptop and five extra pieces, now there are just three (it might have gone one - I stated why in the drawbacks). It's starting to come together now. This gadget is awesome and well worth the cost. It's perfect if your screen refreshes at 60 hertz. Take a more expensive model, such the third generation of this station, if your monitors have a refresh rate of 60 hertz or greater. There will just be one cord leading to your laptop if it only needs up to 50W (65W will not power it).

Pros
  • Plenty of ports, including one for a network cable; I made do with a USB adaptor in the past because WiFi was unreliable. It's helpful that the Windows power button can be programmed to put the laptop into hibernation, so you may press it without picking up the device. Minimal in size; takes up little room
Cons
  • I had anticipated that the docking station's 90W output would be sufficient to power my laptop and all its accessories (the laptop itself consumes 65W), but alas, it was not. Without its own power block connected to the laptop, it becomes extremely unresponsive (perc does not go over 1GHz, although it functions at frequencies of 3.2-3.6GHz while using its power supply). - 😥 Unfortunately, both DisplayPort and HDMI only output up to 60 frames per second, so I had to connect my monitor (the MSI on the left) straight to my laptop via HDMI (which only transmits up to 120 frames per second, so it still doesn't make full use of the 165 Hz panel). - 😤 The sonise in particular gets really hot (as it rests on the table), so I'm debating whether or not to prop it up on anything to prevent the bottom from fitting too snugly and overheating.
