Know before you buy
Yes, it supports up to 100W Power Delivery 3.0 pass-through. Keep in mind that the dock reserves 12W for its own operation, so it will provide up to 88W of charging power to your connected laptop.
No, this adapter is OS-independent and features auto-driver setup. It is designed to be plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux systems.
Yes, the HDMI port supports ultrawide monitors, provided your laptop's USB-C port supports the necessary video output signal (DisplayPort Alt Mode).
The two USB-A ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2, which support data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, making them ideal for fast external drives and peripherals.
The 12-inch cable offers more flexibility than standard short-tether adapters, allowing the dock to sit flat on your desk rather than dangling from your laptop port. This extra length is particularly helpful if your laptop's USB-C port is located toward the back or side of the chassis.
While the adapter features both SD and microSD slots, it is designed to read one card at a time. You will need to swap cards if you are transferring data between two different memory cards.
