Greetings –

I wish to work from three different computers (at different times – not at the same time) at the same workstation. The three different computers are:
  • Lenovo T14 laptop running Windows (has two TB4 ports)
  • Apple Macbook Air 15 inch with plain M2 silicon
  • Apple Mac Studio with M2Max silicon
Does anyone know of a thunderbolt dock that will provide the following?
  • Upstream thunderbolt 4 port to laptop on front of dock with power delivery
  • Displaylink support (allows 2 external monitors for Macbook Air)
  • Support 2ea 4K monitors as dual independent desktops (HDMI or DP)
  • Macbook and Lenovo T14 both operated in clamshell mode
  • Supports windows and MacOS without drivers (Windows machine locked down by corporate IT)
  • 2.5GB network port
  • Min 3 USB A ports
  • Min 1 USB C ports
Today I have a Plugable dock (TBT4-UDZ) and it does everything I need EXCEPT for it does not support Displaylink, so the Macbook only supports one external display.

I also have a Lenovo dock (40AF0135US) that supports Displaylink but the upstream port is on the back and it only supports gigabit networking.

From what I can locate, Displaylink is only supported on lower end docks.

Does anyone know of a dock that would support the above?

Thanks!
