Review: Almost nothing positive about this dock - While the older style Dell docks where the laptop sat on top were the very best you could find, this dock is possibly the very worst you can find. There is almost nothing positive to say about this dock and except for the Dell logo on top, feels like a cheap third party product. The captured cable requires your entire office to be rearranged since the cable is short, stiff, and will fall out of the laptop with even the slightest touch. When the cable does get even slightly bumped, most of the devices attached to the dock stop working and it will take approximately 30 minutes to get everything working again (if you are lucky). The power button on the dock doesn't really work properly since the laptop turns on once the cable is connected to the laptop. As the dock uses thunderbolt, the dock requires pairing with the laptop, but this frequently doesn't work properly and requires 1-2 hours of futzing with stuff to get on of the two channels to connect properly. This issue might be a result of constantly changing drivers. You can't connect your keyboard and mouse to this dock because every couple of minutes, the keyboard and mouse will stop working of about a second. This might not sound like much, but it makes getting work done very difficult, especially for technical work. When any of these problems occur, you generally need to open the laptop to use the laptop screen and keyboard. Given the layout restrictions of the dock, this can frequently become a very difficult challenge. In summary, do not buy this dock if you can help it. Dell, which used to have the very best products, has completely dropped the ball on this dock.
Review: Works great after finding the 'right' power match - Works great after finding the 'right' power match. Our first dock had to be returned because it was under-powered and through off continual warnings. This replacement works great although we're surprised to learn that it should not be relied on to charge. For that Dell recommends plugging in BOTH power adapters.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this dock include the power supply?**
A: Mine came with (2) 240W Dell power supplies.  That sounds great, right?   But they forgot to send the docking station.

**Q: I a new precison 7730. it's got a 240w power brick. this specs for this product say it delivers 210w. is there a product that delivers the full 240w?**
A: The TB18DC is the only dock offered by Dell for the 7730.  I have the same model of both and it has worked fine.  Just make sure your firmware and drivers are updated before you install.  The only issue I have had is I use a Logitech wireless mouse with the dongle plugged into the front of the dock.  I lose connection about once a day and I have to remove and replace the dongle.  If it is plugged directly into the laptop it is fine.  I purchased the 3 year protection also.  For the cost of the dock it really isn't that much more.  Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐ Do Not Charge Your Laptop Off This!
*by S***. on January 25, 2019*

I work in IT and the company has ordered these along with the shiny Precision 7730. Now I would consider myself a veteran with Dell products as I have worked with and on Dell equipment for years. So I remember the old USB docks using the first rendition of the DisplayLink drivers that were recommended for the Latitude 6430u. Those were crap, so when our Dell representative brought the USB-C docks that used the same DisplayLink driver set, we were reluctant. Years have gone by and we have learned a few things about the TB16 docking stations. The TB18DC is the TB16's big brother. You should note that in the User's Guide for BOTH the TB16 and TB18DC, they warn you... "Make sure the docking station is connected properly to its own power adapter. Computer requiring more than 130 W power input must also be connected to their own power adapter for charging and operating at full performance." Let me stress the part about "Computer requiring more than 130 W power input must also be connected to their own power adapter for charging", as this is the very definition of the Mobile Precision Laptops that this dock is being marketed for. You are highly likely to encounter the “You have attached an undersized power adapter to your system” message if you are looking for this dock to charge your laptop while using it.
