ThinkPad Smart Dock 7500: Lenovo's new Thunderbolt 5 dock leaks before September 2025 launch

It seems that Lenovo has prepared plenty of devices to unveil next week during IFA 2025 in Berlin. To recap, Evan Blass has shared photos of a new Lenovo concept laptop earlier today, as well as the Motorola Edge 60 Neo smartphone, the long-awaited Legion Go 2, a new 5K2K ThinkVision monitor and a host of ThinkPad laptops.

Now, the same leaker has provided an early look at the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 5 Smart Dock 7500, which is also listed alongside the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 5 Dock 7500 on the DisplayPort database. Incidentally, a few retailers have also started stocking the former ahead of its presumed release post-IFA 2025.

Detailed specifications remain unknown for now. Evidently, the new dock supports Thunderbolt 5 though, which should provide up to 120 Gbps bandwidth and multi-monitor support at 4K/240 Hz. By extension, it seems that the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 5 Smart Dock 7500 will replace docks like the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Workstation Dock (curr. $297 on Amazon). Moreover, the following ports can be made out from the pictures that Blass has shared so far:

• 1x 3.5 mm jack
• 2x DisplayPort
• 1x HDMI
• 1x Gigabit Ethernet
• 2x Thunderbolt 5
• 1x Thunderbolt 5 (to laptop)
• 3x USB Type-A (10 Gbps)
• 2x USB Type-C (10 Gbps)
• 1x USB Type-C (power input)
• 2x Kensington lock slots
