Will it charges my laptop? I was wondering if this will charge my laptop through the docking station?
Answered by Lenovo Product ExpertThat will depend on whether your laptop can be charged via its USB-c port or if it uses a dedicated, non-USB-c port for charging the laptop. If a dedicated non-USB-c port is used on your laptop for charging, you will not be able to charge your laptop via the USB-c port. You will still need to use the dedicated charging port on your laptop.
