One thing I love this dock is that it got an optional charging port, 60w though.<\/p>\n

Most docks only work with 20V power supply or does not support charging.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/h2>\n

This is one of the few Thunderbolt docks I\u2019ve seen that offers optional Type-C power delivery. Unfortunately, the network adapter is not PCIe-to-Ethernet, but USB-based, which means its performance is slightly lower than PCIe. It may also lack Thunderbolt daisy-chain support in order to work without an independent power supply.<\/p>\n

The other features are fairly standard. The unit I received has a slight coil whine issue, though I\u2019m not sure whether it\u2019s a design flaw or just an individual case.<\/p>\n
