Question 1

What wattage power cord is required to charge a computer while docked? I have a 65W power cord, which works fine when plugged into the computer. When I try to use the docking station for power, the computer gives me a warning that the power is too low.

Accepted Answer

The docking station supports charging up to 100W, but provides up to 85W power delivery to your laptop. Therefore, a 65W power cord may not be sufficient, and you should use a power cord that can deliver up to 100W for optimal performance.
