Common mistake people make is buying a USB-C dock because they see it's so much cheaper, but the bandwidth just isn't there.

You can cheap out and get a normal Thunderbolt 3 dock as well. Don't necessarily need a Thunderbolt 4 one if the cheaper one has all the connectivity you need.

This one for $50 will probably work. Just need to check the wattage on the included power brick vs. what your laptop needs. If you have a standard Thinkpad, it'll probably be fine.
Ok cool that’s another question I had whether thunderbolt 3 would be good enough because there are a lot for sale on marketplace
