If the USB Type-C on your laptop at home is "full function" type, congratulations, it not only supports data transmission, DP video output and USB PD protocol charging functions, but also supports more luxurious docking station devices.
Because the full-featured USB Type-C natively supports PD, the HDMI on the docking station can output up to 4K resolution, and can connect and use multiple USB storage peripherals at the same time, without consuming additional CPU resources.
However, the more functions of the USB Type-C docking station, the same need to integrate the corresponding control chip, so the price will not be too cheap, but when it is combined with the full-function USB Type-C interface, it can give full play to its full performance, bringing a user experience comparable to the native interface.
The full-function docking station also needs to integrate PD charging chip, Hub chip, HDMI conversion chip, etc
Whether charging is supported is an important standard to measure the level of USB Type-C docking station, and also a major factor to widen the price gap. Because many notebooks use USB Type-C as the only charging interface, they cannot be charged when connecting to the docking station without charging function.
It is recommended that you choose USB Type-C docking station that supports charging
The competition between docking stations that support charging is whether they support the PD3.0 charging protocol. Some docking stations that support PD2.0 will flash and reply to the connected HDMI and USB devices when unplugging the charging cable (connected to the docking station), while docking stations that support PD3.0 will not be affected.
Many full-featured USB Type-C comply with USB 3.1 Gen2 or 3.2 Gen2 standards and have a transmission rate of 10Gbps. However, the USB interface on the USB Type-C docking station is mostly USB3.0 (5Gbps) standard. When reading the ultra-high-speed mobile solid state drive, please connect it directly to the USB Type-C on the laptop, and do not use the docking station.
