I am using this for both a MacBook Pro 2016 13" and 15" with a Dell 2715Q 27" 4K monitor running at 60Hz, and it works beautifully. It was a little frustrating to get this to work properly so let me share some tips here. First of all use an HDMI 2 cable to connect to the monitor, not the DSP cable connect method - you won't get 60Hz if you use the DSP cable connect method, not sure why not. Make sure it's an HDMI 2 vs HDMI in order to get 60Hz. Third, maybe get a 40Gb/sec short data USB-C cable to connect between your laptop and the docking station. Maybe it's my imagination - but I don't think so - but I was finding the mouse/trackpad a little bit laggy with the supplied cable - which doesn't make sense because that mouse/trackpad is connecting directly to the laptop via bluetooth and not this docking station. But perhaps the cable made the screen refresh faster so that it wasn't trailing anymore.
But overall, fantastic docking station, and one that I was nearly going to return because of these connection issues. But it works and it works very well.

Features
Let the leader in professional desktop performance make your transition to USB-C smooth with the SD4600P USB-C Docking Station with Power Delivery. The dock gives you the ability to harness the technology inside your host device so 4K video, data, audio and charging all go through a single cable. The host device needs to be running Windows 10, 8.1, Mac OS X 10.10 or later, or Chrome OS and must be configured to support Power Delivery (PD) to enjoy the USB-C charging. The dock can output 4K video to dual monitors on Windows devices and to a single monitor on Mac and Chrome OS devices. Zero Footprint mounting makes it ideal for workstations with limited space (mount sold separately).
(Not all USB-C devices are configured the same, so it’s important to review the Application Guide in the Product Information section below to ensure this docking station will meet your expectations).

|
|---|---|---|---|
USB-C ConnectivityA single 18-inch cable that can carry video, power and data connects directly to your host device with a native USB-C port. USB-C is a new technology and has many different capabilities, so it’s extremely important to learn what your host device can deliver so you select the correct docking station for your system. (USB 3.0 laptops are not compatible with the USB-C port, even with an adapter. Not all USB-C devices support Power Delivery.) |
Plug and Play InstallationConnect the dock to your USB-C host device and it will run automatically without the need for drivers or downloads on Windows and Chrome OS devices. (Mac OS devices will require a one-time Ethernet driver download at installation to function properly.) |
4K Video OutputDisplay content in Ultra HD from a host device that’s configured to support video over USB-C on dual monitors (Windows only) or on a single monitor (Mac and Chrome OS) devices via DisplayPort and/or HDMI. (For proper video output, you must use direct HDMI-to-HDMI and/or DP-to-DP cables. Passive adapters cannot be used to accommodate VGA or DVI ports.) |
Zero Footprint MountingBy purchasing the Kensington Dock Mount (K33959WW), you can quickly and easily mount the SD4600P to the back of a 75mm or 100mm VESA-compatible monitor, ideal for desktops that are too cluttered or have limited space. |

|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
USB Accessory ExpansionThree USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C port allow you to connect a variety of peripherals like a mouse, keyboard or flash drive. One of the USB 3.0 ports on the front of the dock can be used as a 2.1A fast charging port for tablets and smartphones. |
Gigabit Ethernet PortProvides a reliable wired connection to a network or the Internet. (Mac OS devices will require a one-time Ethernet driver download at installation to function properly.) |
Thunderbolt 3 CompatibleYou can insert the USB-C cable from the dock into a Thunderbolt 3 device. (Does not support TB3 speeds, only USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds of 5Gbps) |
Bandwidth OptimizationTo ensure optimal performance and speed, be sure to follow the connection instructions included with your dock. (When using a 4K monitor you may experience slower than usual speeds from the USB 3.0 ports and the Ethernet port.) |

Was a good choice for my Yoga 900 nearly 2 years ago.
This review is for the SD1500 mobile "docking station". At the time of this post (8/2016), all of the previous reviews were of the larger Kensington docking station and not really comparable. This compact device is more accurately a multi-function USB-C adapter than a docking station. It does not require a power brick and thus cannot provide power to the PC. This was fine for my use since my Yoga 900 doesn't support power over USB type C connection anyway, so the Yoga has to be plugged into its own power.The integrated USB-C cable is only about 3 inches long, so it makes cable management of all attached devices difficult if you would like them hidden on your desk. I ended up velcro-ing it to the side of my desk (so there would be no strain from the weight on my notebook's USB-C port).There is no separate audio output port on the SD1500, but sound can be passed through to the monitor via HDMI. The Gigabit Ethernet connection and VGA output works just fine.You do need a PC capable of alternate USB DisplayPort mode in order to pass through the video. I have the HDMI connected to a Benq HD monitor which works nicely at either 1080P or 2560x1460 @60hz. I did not test a 4K display, but would be wary of flicker since it can only support 30hz refresh at that resolution.I still have trouble with losing the video to the external monitor after the PC resumes from sleep mode. Simply unplugging the SD1500 from the PC and plugging it back gets the video back. Kind of annoying though.I did talk to Kensington about it, to see what support they could offer in solving this. After an initial phone call to India which didn't help much, I raised an online case. It's been a week now, and no response from them. So far, I would rate their support as quite bad.Overall, I like this little mobile adapter - especially since I can easily take it with me for external presentations using VGA or HDMI projectors. As a desktop docking station, it just isn't well designed for that and I am looking for a better solution for my desk.EDIT (4/2018) - while it worked well enough for my needs for almost 2 years, I have just replaced it due to a serious malfunction. Windows is constantly displaying a error message every few seconds saying that "Power Surge on the USB Port - The Generic SuperSpeed USB Hub has exceeded the power limits of its hub port". The hub itself was the problem, even with nothing plugged into it. Following all the Microsoft troubleshooting tips did not fix the issue. Replacing it with a new, even less expensive USB-C port replicator did.

I went through loads of USBC docks and hubs - UGreen, Anker, Satechi etc and they all had some sort of flaw or quality issues. This is much much more expensive, but I am now glad I spent the extra and have a robust and useable dock.
