Note
Compare the power (wattage) of your laptop's compatible power adapter with the power adapter included with this docking station. Please note that the included power adapter supports a maximum of 100W. If your laptop has a higher power consumption, you will still need your laptop's power adapter.
When connecting the laptop via a USB 3.0/2.0 port, a power adapter must still be connected to the laptop, as charging is technically not possible with this type of connection.
USB-C ports on laptops that are labeled "data transfer only" by the manufacturer do not support the full functionality of a docking station. In this case, image transfer to the connected displays is generally not possible, and charging a laptop is only possible with devices with a suitable USB-C or Thunderbolt port. You can find relevant information for your device in the manual or contact the manufacturer directly.
