My home computer is a Dell XPS 13 9380 , and my work computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad. I was using the Lenovo docking station with my Dell laptop (a USB C / Thunderbolt port), and the USB ports burned out. They are welded to the motherboard and so Dell had to replace the motherboard itself - expensive!

 

I do not know for certain that the docking station was the cause, but I am nervous about using it again. I don't know much about USB C / Thunderbird charging.

Does anybody have advice how I can know what docking stations are going to be OK?
