I have an Alienware 17r5 (i7 / 1070)
I am looking to utilize a dock for my laptop but not in the traditional sense. My laptop needs to be stored off-desk (as you all know, it's huge) and having to pull it out and turn it on every time I use it is a pain.
I still intend to connect my external display and power directly to the machine but would like to use a USB-C dock with a power button to turn the laptop on. I would probably also utilize the USB ports on the dock.
I'm currently looking at this model - https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-business-dock-wd15-with-130w-adapter/apd/452-bddv?ref=p13n...
I know it's an expensive "power button" but it's worth it to me in this scenario. What are your thoughts on the proposed set-up? Will it work?
thanks in advance
