Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed. We really need to know the specific models of the Envy and Thinkpad to tell you what your options are. This device powers either laptop using a 65w USB-C power supply to the dock and then one cable to the laptop provides power and charging and dual monitor, ethernet, standard usb ports for mouse and keyboard, etc. Lenovo ThinkPad Pro Dock 40A10090US Docking Station 658 44 10 Under 75 Lenovo ThinkPad USA Ultra Dock With 90W 2 Prong AC Adapter (40A20090US, Retail Packaged) 2,016 50 49 54.94 Between 75 and 200 Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C UltraDock With 90W 2 Prong AC Adapter (40A90090US, USA Retail Packaged) 348 84 98 199. I actually have a third party dock/port replicator I have used with an HP Spectre 13-vxxx series and a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon x1 6th gen both of which laptops have Thunderbolt ports. The device would plug into one USB-C or Thunderbolt port. To add complexity, for very recent model laptops that have "Power Delivery" USB-C or Thunderbolt ports, you can have a true docking station that will provide power and port replication across a wide variety of laptops that have such a port. Those are more generic and can be used across multiple manufacturer's products. There are also devices called port replicators which do not generally power the laptop and plug into one port on the laptop. HP only makes true docks for its business models and Lenovo makes docks only for its high-end Thinkpads and the two are not interchangeable in any way. I call them "snap down" docks and you generally do not see them in use any more on consumer grade laptops. True docking stations are specific to one manufacturer's product and generally just a couple models. Not a true docking station which is a device that attach to a proprietary connection on the laptop and provides port replication and power supply.
