Not charging my huawei laptop
Im testing the device and for some reason is not charging my laptop
Thank you for your review. While the DK30A2DHU does not provide power delivery to charge a laptop, many of our docking stations do have this feature. We will reach out to provide assistance finding a suitable alternative for your setup that includes the ability to charge the laptop.
Solid Option but Dedicated GPU users beware
Purchased this Dock for a client that needed it to work with their p43 Lenovo laptop. Worked fine until they tried to open a program that required it to be used with the Quadro onboard. This dock for some reason does not use the dedicated gpu, I'm assuming this is more of an issue with the display link drivers rather than an issue with the dock. This will not replace the Lenovo USB c dock if that's what you're looking for.
No Night Light Windows feature on external Display
I've updated to the latest DisplayLink drivers, at some point the connection crashes and an alert is displayed on Windows notifying the USB device crashed, I lose the image and then works until I restart the computer, but most of my concerns are over Night Light window offered by Windows, doesn't get applied for the displays connected to the dock Station, this works as expected and I don't have issue over a Thinkpad dock, kind of disappointed with this product.
Wait...
