Finally got round to reconfiguring my desk to support 1 cable operation for a ThinkPad 👍

Bonus: the USB doesn't drop out halfway through calls, and I'm hoping the display driver might not either 🫠

(This is complicated by being duel-input from a desktop under the desk, with all USB switchable and all running off a single USB-C to the laptop. The cable routing reflects this horror.)
A desk from the top down. It's a Dell monitor mounted vertically and a large 32" ThinkVision in the middle. There's a keyboard, mouse, notebook etc. on the desk
Looking under the desk. You can see the desktop in the corner. There's a lot of messy cables.
Looking at the back of the USB switcher and the Think Hub thing. There's a lot of cables

@jeder It's a standard ThinkPad USB-C dock. Here's the latest one (which is newer than mine): www.lenovo.com/gb/en/p/accessories-and-software/docking/docking_thunderbolt-docks/40b00300uk

I did not pay anything near the website price; maybe a 1/3rd.

@jeder Same; never had issues with display 🤔 Always Just Worked.

I've sometimes had some dodgy HDMI cables though; I generally prefer chained DP but the ThinkVision annoyingly does not support it.
