Hi all, I have the Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 docking station and I have some issues with that. When I use my working laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad) everything works smooth and I have 2+1 screens (2 external monitor connected to the display ports on the dock and the laptop screen) working in extended configuration. When I connect the Razer Blade 15 to the dock instead, I have that the nvidia software shows me only 2 screens (the 2 external monitors), I'm able to have an extended configuration for the external monitors, but the screen laptop always mirrors one of the other 2. When I try to do detect on the Nvidia software, what I see that one external monitor is detected as number 3 instead the other monitor and laptop are marked both with 1|2. Does anyone have any idea how to allow the software to detect the laptop monitor ?

    Yeah, resolved. I'm using the lenovo thunderbolt 3 docking station. Once installed the driver it works really nicely. I have 2 screens connected to the dock (display port) and they work perfectly.

      But it can´t charge your laptop right? i read that it deliver 90W, I guess that's enough for my RBS 13 (100W) Can you use your laptop display too?

      No, it can't charge the laptop. It delivers enough power for my working laptop but the Razer Blade 15 it needs way too much power. Not sure how much power can deliver the dock station, but if it can deliver only 90W I would say it's not enough. Yeah I have 2 screen plus the laptop. The only thing is that I need to start the laptop not connected and once logged in I can connect the thunderbolt. Otherwise sometimes it doesn't turn on the external screens.
