Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Mechanical side-dock connector enables single-motion docking and undocking without plugging in any cables
- Dual DisplayPort 1.4 outputs support simultaneous dual 4K display configurations from one dock unit
- 135W power passthrough is rated for the full TDP of performance ThinkPad models including the P52s
- Always-on USB 3.0 port maintains charging of connected devices even when the laptop is powered off or sleeping
- Driver-free operation means zero software overhead and immediate functionality on first connection
👎 Cons
- Compatible only with eight specific ThinkPad models — incompatible with newer ThinkPad generations using USB-C docking
- No Thunderbolt 3 or USB4 port, limiting bandwidth for NVMe enclosures or daisy-chained Thunderbolt peripherals
- Single USB-C port is limited to 5V/3A (15W) output, insufficient for charging larger tablets or secondary laptops
- Only one USB-C port total means adapting to modern USB-C peripherals requires additional hubs
- No built-in DisplayLink chip means display output depends entirely on the docked laptop's GPU, with no independent rendering capability
