Lenovo USB 3.0 Dock On a Mac

While Lenovo doesn't supply a driver for the display adapters, the chipset inside it (and as far as I can tell, all other USB 3.0 to DisplayPort devices) is provided by DisplayLink. You can install the generic DisplayLink adapter drivers directly from their website at: http://www.displaylink.com/support/index.php

I installed the v2.2 drivers on my 10.9 MBP and the display immediately popped up on the attached monitor after the required reboot.

There are also installers for 10.4 - 10.5 and 10.6 - 10.9 in the same driver download.

I realise this is a very old thread, but I'm considering getting a new MBP 13 and have a trusty Lenovo USB3 dock which I'd prefer not to have to replace (it's not necessarily a deal breaker but could be another $150-$250 I'd prefer not to spend in switching back to Mac).

I currently use the dock for Gb Ethernet, 2 DVI screens, multiple USB peripherals (mostly USB 2).

Lenovo only supports/supplies Windows drivers for this dock, but http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/macos has "DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Mac OS X" 3.0.0 including Sierra 10.12.3 support (readme http://assets.displaylink.com/live/downloads/release-notes/f741_DisplayLink+USB+ Graphics+Software+for+Mac+OS+X+3.0-Relea…).

Can anyone share their experiences with the Lenovo USB3 dock on a recent Mac? (bonus points for USB-C 😀)

TIA!

I am using the Lenovo usb 3.0 dual monitor docking station with the new beta drivers http://www.displaylink.com/support/index.phpreleased March 13 2015. I think they got it right now. No more screen blinking when watching videos and ethernet is working great. I have Mac Book Pro 15.4 11.2 Mid 2014. This is my first mac.

I'm using that dock on MBP for additional screen + printer. Aukey made a great USB-C power pass-thru adapter that includes USB 3.0 ports and HDMI port as well. i got it on amazon for something like $45.

Only hitch i have found is that the audio is sometimes choppy. thought it was the mac at first, but audio problems went away once i plugged directly into the mac tho.

you have any issues with audio? did you go that route?

lenovo docking station worked for me with MacBook Pro (Retina, 15', Mitte 2015) and el captan 10.11.6

i installed the latest display link mac driver.

I'm using the DisplayLink driver v3.1 on MacBook Pro 2015 / Sierra 10.12 and this is working fine.
