Lenovo has launched two new docking stations at CES 2021. One connects to a notebook via a USB Type-C cable, while the other requires a Thunderbolt 4.0 port. Both docks can power 4K displays and charge peripherals at up to 100W. Their pricing and availability will be revealed at a later date.

The most important question for me is...does the USB C docking station require a display-enabled port on the laptop or will any USB C port work? None of my laptops support DP over USB C.

Yes, it probably requires it unfortunately.

This Gen3 unit is not better than the Gen2 socking station:
- Only 1x DP port (2x on Gen2)
- Only 4x USB  type A (6x on Gen2)
- 1 extra TB4 slot

This looks like poor value to me.

Often, the power brick for these docks is as big as the docks themselves ruining the experience. Or those rare docks which are bus-powered, they don't/can't have as many ports. I want a Thunderbolt 4 dock that's bus-powered and has 1 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI, 1 RJ45, audio jack and 100W passthrough. I don't care about more USB ports as my laptop has enough of them.

could this USB4(TB4) dock can support 3x 4k@60hz or 4x 4k@60hz?

total bandwidth is 40G(same tb3 and tb4..)
