Dell D6000 dock powershare wattage.

Hi,


before i buy a dell d6000 dock does anyone know the output wattage of the USB-C powershare port. I cant find the wattage on any of the docks documentation.
https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln308795/how-to-use-and-troubleshoot-dell-universal-dock-d6000?lang=en



I am hoping to charge my laptop and the wattage on the charger is 85w. Even if it is less i dont mind once it is able to keep the lappy running



Thanks.

Its in the Q & A :

"Some Dell Precision models may require more than the 65W that the Dell Universal Dock D6000 can deliver to charge the laptop. You can still use the D6000 to charge the laptop, but it may take a longer time to fully charge versus using the PC's power adapter."

Thanks I must of missed that. That should be enough to keep my Macbook running.

Looks like the dell docs are wrong. it is not able to send any power to my mack at all.

I just my hope of having one device to connect my mac to was just a dream.

Others have it working.

USB-C is cable picky. You must be using the C-C not A-C and a rated cable. Some €2 job that charges your phone (5-15W) may not be enough for the Mac.
