HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock for Notebook
Thunderbolt, 11 ports
There's still one unclear point that I hesitate in buying this dock, maybe the community can help: my non-HP laptop has a USBC 3.2 Gen 2 full function (PD 3.0, DP 1.4) which is currently used to connect its 140W charger (I guess it uses another circuit negotiation but not using PD mode though). When this dock is connected to the laptop via its TB4 (another laptop's port) while the laptop's charger is not connected, the dock will provide 100W max. Will this be sufficient for the laptop as it has internally PD 3.0 (meaning max. 100W) or insufficient because its charger requires 140W? Many articles mentioned that it is not good to charge a laptop with a charger having a wattage lower than the laptop's charger! The question is: it is possible to use this dock while skipping laptop's charger? Or should we use both? Thanks!
