We tested the Mediagear Dock with the new Dell XPS 1500 running Windows 10 Pro and it was able to power the laptop from the USB port . C and to run USB tasks. The power delivery is typical of old-school laptops, but of course the docking station does more for you. What's notable about this box is that it uses a standard, more readily available power cord, *not* IEC 60320 C5, 18AWG, 10A/1250W NEMA 5-15P cord, but a more common IEC NEMA 5-15P cord. 60320 C13 18AWG 10A/1250W 125V 3 PIN Why it's important: You may not need to carry a separate cable with your laptop, as you can use any of a variety of legacy desktops or monitors. This is a small but useful feature. Mediagear supplies the necessary signal cables for a USB connection (particularly USB-C), but you may need to label this common item as not all USB-C cables will do it. Appendix. There is no "sleeve" or sleeve to pack. You yourself. Tested with an external HD monitor (not yet 4K), three USB devices (keyboard, mouse and power adapter) along with wired ethernet and speeds were fine. (We haven't rigorously tested speeds, so read the specs carefully if you plan to run 4K monitors at 60.) Possible software issue: During testing, the recommended download on the *displaylink* webpage for Windows didn't work - an error 503 was displayed. This is probably not a Mediagear powered site, but be aware if you need this feature for external monitors (usually see Docking stations use at least one additional monitor).
