This guide will cover ThunderBolt docks. Both the laptop and dock must support the ThunderBolt protocol to benefit from this technology. Look for a lightning bolt icon on both the connector and laptop port to ensure the protocol is supported. If only one of the devices supports ThunderBolt, you will have varied results.

Your laptop dock may connect to your monitor(s), keyboard/mouse, ethernet, speakers, and USB flash drives while communicating with, and charging, your laptop using a single USB-C cable.
