Pros

It's worked solidly so far. It is the perfect tool for expanding my laptop for desktop functionality when i'm at home! Over all its a terrific device. One annoyance is the lack of event monitoring.

I previously had an elgato thunderbolt 2 dock with my old late 2013 15 retina macbook pro so i wanted to try another brand.

    For one the dell reports it only gets 65w from the docking station where it is rated to handle up to 130w from the dedicated power wart

    In reality if you are drawing more than 65w enough with this laptop for 65w to be an issue the machine is going to die an early thermal death anyway
