    Would have thought so too, but my m6800 with AMD FirePro m6100 and Intel HD 4600 does not like the graphics drivers from Win10 / Windows Update.

    External displays (connected via HDMI and DP, FullHD and 1920 x 1200) either show unrecognizable pixel patterns or stay black. The current drivers from Dell (15.200 and 15.201) have the same problem. The driver from Dell for Windows 8.1 (14.502) works, but it is quite a hassel to stop Win10 from auto updating to the latest driver from Windows Update. After my latest tests with 15.201 and the current AMD crimson drivers I downgraded back to 14.502 and now ccc.exe always crashes - did a full uninstall of AMD drivers, not sure if the latest Win10 updates cause that or some AMD left overs or Intel HD 4600 incompatibilities. So currently I cannot control switchable graphics and other GPU params...

    That's strange... though I had out of the AMD/ATI loop for a whole (my M6500 has nvidia graphics, though I don't believe it has integrated graphics.

    Maybe not port but my dell tech told me the Thunderbolt 3 Dock will be available for purchase on January 28th for what it's worth.

    Have you tried disabling switchable graphics? External displays on my m6800 + firepro m6100 + win10 are working fine, but I have the intel gpu disabled.

    Not huge. Much smaller than the E Docks. Half the size of the big E dock and a couple of inches smaller than the little E Dock.
