How much pass-through charging do I actually need?
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers generally recommend matching or exceeding your laptop's charger. A 13-inch MacBook Air or ultrabook is happy with 60-85W, while 14/16-inch MacBook Pro and many gaming laptops want 96-140W. Specialist forum threads note that under-powered docks let the battery slowly drain during heavy exports, so creators tend to favor 100W+ pass-through.
