I'd second this.

Work in a large F50 and all the enterprise grade ones we've had are decent.

This is the current model they are giving folks:

I've been running an Intel MacBook Pro (last intel version I think) on it the last few months with 2 external HP displays, keyboard, mouse, and it is a solid performer.

Yes, those displaylink docks are fine for office productivity work, but not that suitable for gaming or media consumption because of the cpu load. On the other hand, I plugged my m1 air into one at work and the cpu load was reasonable even while videoconferencing, so I suppose eventually the overhead of displaylink gets small enough not to be a problem.

As another commenter stated, bleh to DisplayLink. Also, what monster designed it so 1! of the 4 USB-A ports is upside down? This is why we cannot have nice things.
