A: That depends. I did not have good luck with triple 27" monitors, sometimes it would work, sometimes I would have distorted video. It might work with smaller monitors. I would buy a dock with more power for three monitors. I bought the StarTech dock for three monitors.
Q: Does it have Display ports?
A: Yes. This Lenovo ThinkPad Universal USB-c Docking Station, model number 40AY0090US, ships with 2x Display Port, 1x HDMI Port. There are also these additional ports on the dock: 1x Combo Audio Jack (3.5mm), Charging Port - DC-IN, USB Ports - 3x USB3.1, 2x USB2.0, 1x USB-C, 1x Gigabit Ethernet jack.
A: That will depend on whether your laptop can be charged via its USB-c port or if it uses a dedicated, non-USB-c port for charging the laptop. If a dedicated non-USB-c port is used on your laptop for charging, you will not be able to charge your laptop via the USB-c port. You will still need to use the dedicated charging port on your laptop.
Q: Is the Thinkpad docking station type 40AY compatible with an ACER laptop aspire 5 (A517-52-522A) ?
A: This Lenovo ThinkPad Universal USB-c Docking Station, model number 40AY0090US, is compatible with any brand laptop that has a USB-c port with video out capability.
