![]() ![]() It uses two USB-C connections in order to achieve display setups that are typically only available via Thunderbolt - but again that requires that it be connected to a system that actually has two USB-C outputs, which yours doesn't. The reason is that the WD19DC actually doesn't use Thunderbolt. Otherwise, although the dual connector can be separated to allow the dock to work with systems that only have a single USB-C connector, in that setup it works like a regular WD19, which will NOT support triple QHD. It will only run triple QHD from systems that actually have two USB-C ports to run it. ![]() If I were you, I would get the WD19TB from a source that would allow an easy return if I had problems just in case, but I expect it would work. ![]() The WD19TB's predecessor the TB16 dock IS officially supported for that system and would also run triple QHD, but the TB16 itself has been the subject of a range of issues. That said, the fact that a given system doesn't appear on a compatibility list does NOT always mean that it's known NOT to be compatible sometimes it just means that Dell never tested it, and in many such cases the accessory works perfectly fine with unlisted systems. It absolutely SHOULD be even though it isn't officially supported and listed as a compatible system, but Thunderbolt peripheral compatibility has proven to be a bit of a mixed bag. However, I don't know if it's actually compatible with the older XPS 13 9350. ![]() Otherwise, if you want to have a display setup that will work with both the 33, you'll need a setup that works without Thunderbolt, in which case you might as well just get the regular WD19TB would support a triple QHD setup. So the only real reason to buy the WD19TB in your case would be if you wanted it for future-proofing in case you got another system that had Thunderbolt to replace the 3390. And although the 5300 could take full advantage of the WD19TB, if you have a display setup connected to the dock that requires Thunderbolt to use, then the 5300 will be able to use it properly, but the 3390 wouldn't. The WD19TB is actually backward-compatible with non-Thunderbolt systems, although only at reduced functionality equivalent to the regular WD19, so although it would work with the 3390, it won't offer any benefit over the WD19. The WD19TB uses Thunderbolt, which it seems is available as an option on the 5300 but not on the 3390. Both of those tap into the native GPU outputs, and both will work with both of the systems you're asking about. Since I wrote that post I linked above, Dell has released the WD19 and WD19TB to replace the WD15 and TB16, respectively. Unless one of the narrow use cases I described in that post for the D6000 apply to you, I would consider looking at a dock that taps into the system's native GPU outputs. The original question was about gaming, but my answer was much broader than that. However, the D6000 uses DisplayLink technology, and that can have some significant drawbacks that I detailed in this thread, specifically the post marked as the answer. But both the 33 have USB-C ports that support charging, so no worries there. The fact that it can connect to systems via USB-C or USB-A ("regular USB") means you can use it with anything, although using USB-A means the dock can't be used to charge the system. First, the D6000 is called a "universal" dock because it truly is universal. ![]()
