Does this also power your laptop?

Absolutely not. This docking unit derives power through the USB 3.0 port of your laptop and will work only through this connection.

Nope, it doesn't provide power. It works for my purpose but really doesn't add much value in my opinion.

I don't think it did. It just plugs into the motherboard for all its power needs. It was very easy to install and setup.

If you have to ask this question, don't buy it. You should search for a power adapter based on your laptop's make and model. This way, you're sure to get the right adapter.

Hi - no, it doesn't, unfortunately. You have to plug it into a USB port, either on your computer or if you have some kind of outlet or power strip with a USB port on it.

Yes - that is what I use it for. I purchased an enclosure for it. It takes it's power from the computer it is connected to.

Not really. you could physically plug it in, but it is custom fit for a few specific laptops.

It appears like you can plug a laptop into it. It outputs 200 watts. Most laptops are 100 watts or less for draw power. Though I must have gotten a defective item because mine did not last long at all. Keep in mind this has a fan in it to keep the electronics cool because of the power conversion. The result is if you are using this in a car for long periods of time you might get kind of annoyed like I did.

Yes, you have to connect this hub with a power adapter. The power from the usb port of your laptop will not be enough to power the hub.

No, Not for powering a laptop. It's good for cellular phones, IPads, tablets, etc.

No. It has one U.S. 2-prong which can be removed and underneath that it has a female socket for use with a computer type (2-prong round-sided) plug - the type that you use to plug into a laptop "power brick". The label says "Input: 100v-240v AC 50/60Hz, 300mA". It also says "Please read instructions before use" - THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS. And MOST IMPORTANTLY... IT DOES NOT WORK...AT ALL !!

If it will power it, it will charge it. It just comes with a bunch of cable connectors, so it plugs in to your computer power plug port.

It is powered via USB 2.0, which can be done by plugging into the laptop USB

No, I draws its power from the mother board. You may be thinking of USB hubs, which often require external power. Hope this helps.

I don't believe it does. It only delivers power when something is plugged into one of the ports.

It is powered from the laptop itself. I plug my (Dell) laptop in (by way of 110vt. adapter) and use it, otherwise you will be draining your laptop battery pretty fast.

No it will not charge a laptop as laptops take 45-90 watts and it is limited to 10 watts. It can charge all cell phones, and most other portable devices. It can charge tablets but they are hard work. the power box pedal generator is a better device for tablets and you could power a laptop with it by charging and external battery first. The videos on our website show how to do this as well as under support, advanced power box guide.

No, it only has a plug and play USB cord. Even when the laptop is off, the fan will run.
