X1 Carbon G6 8550U/ UHD 620 dock question

#1 Post by ObligedTester » Mon Nov 06, 2023 3:16 pm

Hello,

After many years it has become time to upgrade my trusty T430.

I have been eyeing the X1 Carbons for a long time and the G6 has become easy to find used in great shapes.

The spec combination I have found is:
16GB RAM
UHD Graphics 620
i7 8550U
1920x1080 FHD

The main question I have is. Is there any dock that supports the following:

Only one cable connection that will:
  • Charge
  • Output to two screens and still have the laptop screen active (three screens total)
It says that it supports 3 screens in the specs, but i know there can be variations and maybe even variations in the docks available?

Would be amazing to be able to just plug in 1 USB-C cable and get the above functionality.

Best regards,
Daniel

Since the X1 Carbon G6 has Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can look up the capabilities of TB3 docks. I'm sure a lot of them have the functionality you need.
Planned Purchase: T480s i5-8350 FHD Touch
Impulse Buy: Thinkpad not named for safety reasons :lol:
