I got the Lenovo Thunderbolt 5 Smart Dock 7500 and it works “perfectly” with my first gen Laptop 16 in Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2
Only problems are:
- Had a single crash couple minutes after Win 11 25H2 woke up from Hibernate
- Sometimes when I join Microsoft Teams meeting (or other calls, like Slack), it takes a lot of time to start getting footage from my USB3 webcam and then also sometimes Windows 11 decides that the laptop has no speakers or microphones. Then Windows magically remembers those devices after 10 minutes or so…
I’m still debugging the second item, maybe it’s related to how my webcam or audio devices are plugged in or set up.
On the plus side, I know the dock charges Laptop 16 at 180W because the Laptop 16 doesn’t switch to the Framework power adapter, if it’s plugged in after the dock
