lets just say that usbC docks are picky

It takes a bit of research/luck to get one that works perfectly for your device/use case, not to mention the niche/optional items* that one may want in a dock


If you do find/get the dock that works perfectly, I'm a fan of usbC

* Niche/optional
Thunderbolt support
USB PD power requirements on laptop AND charger
max power limit of PD (100W), may be lower than what your laptop can charge using proprietary connector.dock/hub takes 5-20W power too
Multiple display support (usbC DP alt mode at the right resolution/fps)
Hubs/docks with downstream usbC data connection (a lot of cheap/portable hubs only provide one female chargeOnly usbC, and USB 3.0 typeA data ports)

Some laptops cannot charge via usbC PD unfortunately
