What it is
The Lenovo ThinkPad USB4 Smart Dock 5500 is a docking station that connects to laptops via USB4. It features multiple video outputs and USB-C ports but does not include the 135W adapter found in some versions.
Who it's for
Intended for users with USB4-compatible laptops looking for a versatile docking station to attach several displays and USB-C peripherals without extra power delivery above what their laptop provides.
Why it's good
It offers four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports, one HDMI port, and two DisplayPorts, supporting high-resolution multi-monitor setups. This dock has the same connectivity as the version with the 135W adapter, minus the power brick.
When to choose it
Choose this dock if your laptop’s power needs are met without an additional adapter or if you already have a compatible power supply. It fits when you want the connectivity features of the ThinkPad Smart Dock 5500 without bundled power.
