    Hi, everyone

    Recently got myself an Aero 15w (1060) and a Plugable USB-C docking station. And realized that there's no power delivery through USB-C with Aero whatsoever. Can anyone please confirm that it's a compatibility issue or is it a lack of PD on laptop's side?

    I'd like to try and get myself a 1080 Gaming Box so I'd like to know whether I'll be able to power the laptop through it

    Thank you in advance for your answers

    That sucks for sure. Did anyone try the Aero 15w with a 1080 Gaming box at all? Are there any issues regarding functionality and drivers?

    We've tested it internally and no issue found, working perfectly on AERO 15
