XPS 17 Thunderbolt / USB Ports and WD22TB4 Dock
I am researching this laptop as a possible replacement for my Inspiron 15 7559. I will need to buy some USB-A to USB-C / Thunderbolt Adapters for this device and possibly a docking station. I have received some rather confusing information concerning the docking station. However, as to my first concern. What is the spacing between the USB-C / Thunderbolt slots. As an example, the dimensions given on the Amazon website for a Syntech adapter are: 1.08 x 0.65 x 0.32 inches. If a person were to plug in two of these adapters side-by-side into two adjacent USB-C / Thunderbolt slots on the XPS-17, would they fit? I have seen photos online on some laptops where the spacing is too tight to accommodate such a set up.
Secondly, the WD22TB4 docking station is a "suggested / recommended accessory" for the XPS-17. If one were to look at the list of laptops that will accept a docking station, the XPS-17 would not appear on the list. I have checked. However, there is another list I accidentally stumbled upon, which I am not sure I can find again, which lists the WD22TB4 as a workable docking station for the XPS-17. If someone can address these two issues, it would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
