does it power the laptop?
2087815
No. But if your laptop is charged, you don't need the laptop plugged in while you are using the docking station. You can still use the 2nd monitor and other peripherals you have attached to the docking station.
2087816
Absolutely not. Both the device and the laptop receive their power through cords connected to a power strip.
2087817
No, it does not. You have to connect one USB cable to use the dock, if you want to charge the laptop you have to connect the charger separately.
2087818
No. It does not power the laptop or charge the battery. There are two things to plug in while it is docked, the USB cable to the dock and the power cable for the laptop. So far the device is working perfectly.

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

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.

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

Yes it does because it is the only way it gets power. If you didn't, it would be like buying a scanner and not getting an AC adapter to make it turn on.

No, it will need to get power from USB cable. Meanwhile, it will also need to get signal and drawing through computer's support.

No. It does not. The power supply is only via the USB connection and it draws its power from the PC/laptop it is connected to. With the price, I would expect a alternative direct power option.
1480014
YES and NO. It does come with a USB cable that may provide power. It also has a 5 VDC jack to provide power IF you purchase a separate adapter.

This laptop comes with the power supply. While plugged in into the AC outlet, the battery will be charged when attached to the laptop.

Yes it does. BUT depending on what you will plug into it, you might want to look for a powered USB 2 like KDLINKS® Super Speed USB 3.0 5Gbps 4 Ports Hub w/ Power Adapter (VIA VL812 Chipset - USB 2.0 compatible) instead.Some external devices such as harddrives, tablets etc. need more power than a laptop can reliably provide.For all other non-power hungry devices, this KDLinks HUB is perfect

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.
458955
No. The power adapter is only needed if the devices connected to it require more power than the port on the computer can provide.

It does. However I returned it soon after getting it. It was simply not enough power.
9556
it doesn't seem to. I've had some trouble with it. however when I have it plugged in it powers the device

Oddly, no. But you will need two USB ports near each other for the device to function. That's right - the custom cable that comes with the unit has two USB plugs for your laptop to draw extra USB power for operation. Weird, but it works.
810513
Not really. you could physically plug it in, but it is custom fit for a few specific laptops.
2240703
Yes, it does. You can use you computer to link it too also, but it always has to have power.
