Yes I could use it with my Dell XPS 13, and a 28" 4k monitor. It worked. HOWEVER, my Dell needed 45w to keep charging, and although this dock states it gives up to 60w, apparently the other items will suck some of that so my Dell gave a message saying the dock device was not outputting enough to charge the laptop when connectng the dock into the Dell main charging c port. The solution is to plug the Dell directly to the wall with its own original charging cord into the main power USBc port on the laptop, PLUS then plug the short dock cord into the Dell's OTHER charging USBc port (which is right next to the dell main charging cable c port). If you don't mind two plugs going into your Dell this will work. However i wanted to try for the single cord setup so I returned this dock to get one with 100w power output to see if I could truly have only one plug going into my laptop... from the dock. Have to wait to see if that will work as I don't have both items yet. Bestbuy has two other USBc docks (that are not made by Dell) that will output 100w or 80w. --> Be aware that you are not going to use the Dell laptop's original 2-piece charging cord to supply power to the dock and monitor etc (the dell cord is only meant to supply 45w, to directly charge the laptop only when no docks are involved), you may need to BUY a USBc wall adaptor cord as well (I bought an 90w, to plug and power from the dock's USBc power port to the wall. Then the short dock cord plugs into the laptop, and hopefully it will charge and power everything. Hope some of this helps!
