Lenovo's universal USB-C dock works with virtually any USB-C laptop and uses DisplayLink to drive up to three displays across two DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0 output, so the host port does not need DisplayPort Alt Mode. It charges the notebook at up to 100W with the 135W adapter (65W with the 90W adapter). Wired I/O includes three 10Gbps USB-A, two USB 2.0 USB-A, a front USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet, a combo audio jack and a Kensington lock.
Lenovo’s DisplayLink USB-C dock with 2x DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, USB-A/USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet and up to 100W charging.
