Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Mini HD

—-Updated Review 12/14/2023— Dropping from 3 to 1 star because I’ve discovered the random disconnects of the external screens were not the thunderbolt port on the laptop but was in fact this dock the entire time. It must be a loose connection inside of it or something similar to cause it to be an intermittent issue but it continued after moving from a Lenovo device as a primary laptop to a new M1 MacBook Pro. To further isolate it I bought an anker USBC HDMI/Network/USB dongle and ran them side by side for a few weeks. While the disconnects happened on the screen and USB device connected to the Belkin the screen and USB device on the anker dongle were not impacted and continued to work. Unfortunately it’s out of the 2 year warranty at this point, which is my fault for not doing more testing to determine this issue was the Belkin earlier. But honestly with the much cheaper alternatives now available, such as the anker dongle that has worked just as good for my purpose at less than $30 as opposed to the around $130 this Belkin cost, I’d never buy this again. —-Original Review——— Little disappointed with this dock. I intended to use it for both my 2018 MacBook Pro and my Lenovo Thinkpad 470 that both have thunderbolt ports. The Mac will display the built in screen and two 27” lcds over the dock HDMI ports without issue, no setup, right out of the box. I could not get it to do the same with the Lenovo. Only one 27” would work at a time. Either port and either screen would work just not both simultaneously. Tried firmware and driver updates on the Lenovo side with no success. Belkin’s site doesn’t offer drivers and seems to expect it to just work but that hasn’t been the case. I kept it because the Lenovo has an HDMI so with one screen on that and the other off the dock i get the 3 screen functionality I’m looking for and it’s more for the Mac.
