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.

Kensington SD5600T 14-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C Dock

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.
