About Dell Dock WD19S USB-C 180W Power Delivery
Overall Feedback:
67% positive
70% found it compatible with devices,yet
I connected the devices to the main USB-C cable from the dock, indicating that the docking station is compatible with laptop-docking-station devices.
To connect the dock with your PC/Laptop, connect everything while the PC/Laptop is turned off and while the dock is not connected to a power source. Then, turn on the dock power source and then the PC. This way, secondary monitors and other devices will also be connected.
72% found it compatible with different os,yet
Loading peripheral drivers took a few minutes, but it was all done automatically with Windows 10. This shows that the docking station is compatible with different OS of laptops.
The docking station cannot handle a screen being disconnected and reconnected repeatedly, especially when using an electronic KVM switch to switch the display to another PC.
73% appreciated the durability; however
The docking station cannot handle a screen being disconnected and reconnected repeatedly, which is a deal breaker for me. I bought a different dock and am planning to sell this one on ebay.
77% were satisfied with the ease of use, althrough
When using an electronic KVM switch to switch the display to another PC, I found that the docking station cannot handle a screen being disconnected and reconnected repeatedly.
I find the dock difficult to work with and it requires a lot of effort to learn how to use it.
84% highlighted the multi-monitor support,but
I connected three laptops to the dock and noticed that Dell XPS 15 9510 and HP Elitebook x360 1030 G8 showed mirrored screens immediately.
The docking station duplicates my 2nd monitor and doesn't show that there are 2 monitors.
86% liked the number and types of ports,while
The docking station has 1 HDMI, 2 DP Ports, 3 USB 3.2, 2 USB Type C, 1 Ethernet Port and can charge the laptop with Type C power adaptor.
I had to buy a new cable to drive 2 external monitors. The docking station isn't capable of outputting from the Display Port Type-C and HDMI at the same time. I bought a normal display port cable and everything works great now.
72% were satisfied with the power delivery,but
The power transformer is rated for 180 Watts and designed for peripherals, not for the laptop. It is large and not travel-friendly.
The docking station only lights up when the power supply is plugged in and does not power on.
