The docking station delivers up to 85W of power to charge your connected laptop. This power output adjusts based on your laptop's needs. Laptops requiring more than 85W (e.g., some 15” MacBook Pro models requiring 87W) will still charge, but potentially at a slightly slower rate. Windows laptops must be designed to support power delivery via Thunderbolt for charging functionality through the dock.
