How much pass-through wattage do I actually need?
Reviewer consensus
A 13-inch MacBook Air or similar ultrabook typically charges fine at 60–70W. A 14-inch MacBook Pro wants 96W, and 16-inch MacBook Pros plus high-end Windows workstations expect 140W. Reddit threads on r/Thunderbolt repeatedly warn that under-powered docks cause slow battery drain during heavy workloads, so reviewers recommend matching or exceeding the laptop's bundled charger wattage.
