So I recently got the Blade Stealth, first and foremost, this thing is the nicest machine I've ever owned, moved over from an XPS 13 2 in 1 (needed more GPU power) and am so happy I did it.







Anyway, I use this thing as my work PC so I connect it to a TB3 dock from Anker at work that can deliver 85w PD and I'm trying to clarify a few things so that I'm not damaging the Blade, hoping some people here have done some testing and can talk about it as searching online didn't give me a ton of results.







Short question, is 85W enough for this thing? I ask because not only did I get the warning that I should use the official charger (which I told to not show again and now am annoyed because I can't turn it back on to test other chargers, so if someone knows how to re-enable the warning please let me know), but I think I've also come across the connect/disconnect issue mentioned in this post here: https://egpu.io/forums/pc-setup/razer-blade-stealth-2016-7500u-issues-w-caldigit-ts3-plus/







I noticed a few times while using it that all my stuff disconnected almost as if the thing went to sleep and then came back like 4-5 seconds later, not 100% sure if this was with a battery that was below about 95% or if it was when the laptop was under super heavy load, but seems to me like over current protection clicked in on the dock. Additionally, Intel's graphics command center showed discharging during some heavier workloads (though the battery never fell below 100%, however I don't want to risk damaging the battery by having it slightly discharge while I'm at work 8 hrs a day); and so far I have not been able to reproduce that behavior with the stock charger or my Anker 100w Atom PD charger (and that's with the screen on too, whereas when docked the screen is off saving some power usage).







On that note, I'm thinking of getting a new dock, but all the ones I really want don't seem to have 100w support. Razer's own dock has 90w support (https://www.razer.com/gaming-pc-accessories/razer-thunderbolt-4-dock-chroma/RC21-01690100-R3U1), which is really odd to me since their own TB4 laptop needs 100W (or at least it seems like it does).







So at that point, should I just go with a 100W model from someone? At those prices I'm almost tempted to just get a Razer Core X Chroma since it's not much more than the 100w docks out there and I have a 1070 laying around that I could throw in it anyway.







Any help would be greatly appreciated!
