ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 Intel and P16s Gen 5 Intel list two Thunderbolt 4 ports with USB Power Delivery and 100W or 140W USB-C adapters. A dock can supply the host charge on these USB-C models.
ThinkPad P15 Gen 2, P16 Gen 1, and P16 Gen 2 use a 170W or 230W slim-tip adapter. Lenovo’s PSREF says USB Power Delivery on these ports is power-out. A dock plugs into Thunderbolt 4 for data and displays.
USB-C docks for the Lenovo V14 and V15: Anker 563 A8395 for DisplayLink monitors and 100W charging, Belkin INC004 if you bring a 100W charger, and Cable Matters 201055 for travel at 60W.
Yoga Slim 7i and Yoga 9i are often Thunderbolt 4 at 65W. CalDigit TS4 is our 2026 pick. Not the old 40AY dock, not a 170W Pro 9i brick.
A Lenovo LOQ 15 (15IPH11 / 15AHP10 class) is twoDDR5-5600 SO-DIMMslots, often thin1x16GBfrom the factory. Lenovo prints32GBas the official ceiling — 64GB is generous and risky on this SKU. This is not November 2021 Legion 5/5 Pro DDR4-3200,

IdeaPad Slim is a family, not a USB-C pinout. The Anker 565 11-in-1 is our top pick when Lenovo lists DisplayPort on USB-C. Slim 7/9 with Thunderbolt 4 get the CalDigit TS4. Dell WD19S is dropped — it caps non-Dell hosts at 90W.
Lenovo Coldfront drinks from the bottom panel. A mesh RGB tray that blows vaguely upward is an expensive desk riser. The llano V12 is our top pick for Legion 5 and 16-inch Legion 5 Pro / Pro 5 — foam gasket, 5.5-inch 12V turbofan, dust filter. KLIM Ultimate is demoted to mesh-stand territory.
So, you’ve got yourself a powerhouse Lenovo Legion 5, 5 Pro, or Pro 5i laptop – excellent choice!
