Recommendations for Dock Station / Hub

Question

Recently I acquired a new workstation (Lenovo P620) that only has usb-c connection and for whatever reason (there is an oficial bug for it, and I dont want to deal with that), my monitors don't work with usb-c. Therefore, I'm in search for a docking station / usb-c hub that is: * Compatible with Macbook Pro 2019 and Lenovo P620, both with usb-c entry. * Works with 2 monitors with either display port or hdmi connection * Ideally, easy to switch back and forward the workstation and laptop connections.There are many options online, but thought this would be a great place to get recommendations!

Seems to me like most any dock or hub should be sufficient, since they should all be capable of doing USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort, if the built-in HDMI or DisplayPort connections are not sufficient. In that case, I&rsquo;d start with the recommendations from TheWirecutter.com.

I&rsquo;ve used this on both Mac and PC and have had some pretty good luck. I attach the usbA port to a hub an mount the whole thing beneath my deskhttps://www.caldigit.com/usb-c-soho-dock/

Not a docking station, but I recently got a Dell USB-C monitor that works with my X1 Carbon nicely. Its an S2722QC, quite affordable for a 27 inch, 4k monitor, if you get a discount.
