QuestionWIll I be able to run 3 monitors with this unit? 2 via the display ports and 1 via the HDMI? Will all 3 work seamlessly?
Asked 3 years ago by KDR.
- Answer That depends. I did not have good luck with triple 27" monitors, sometimes it would work, sometimes I would have distorted video. It might work with smaller monitors. I would buy a dock with more power for three monitors. I bought the StarTech dock for three monitors.

QuestionWill it charges my laptop? I was wondering if this will charge my laptop through the docking station?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer That 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.
