    Hi all,
    So I was hoping that my Dell WD15 docking station would be compatible with this new laptop (as stated on a few websites that I checked before buying). Unfortunately, while the mouse and keyboard works, the screen won't activate the monitor and the dock wont charge the laptop.

    Are there any docking solutions I can use?

    Did you update the firmware on your docking station?

    USB-C 2.5 enclosure with USB 3.1 Thunderbolt on Hot UK deals at the moment, would be ideal if anyone has a spare 2.5 drive to increase the storage.

    Got this, pretty happy with it so far. Tested it out with a bit of GTA 5, ran without a hitch with graphics looking about on par with what I'd get on the PS4. Thought there were 3 USB-A ports but there are only 2 which is a slight drawback but no big deal.

    Opened it up to replace the m.2 SSD and got a fright when I saw that HP box at the top-right - thought they'd lied and given me a sata SSD or mechanical hard drive. Turns out the m.2 us under some black tape near the bottom. The box thingy must be the graphics card?

    The boxy thing is a hard drive caddy for an SSD or normal HDD as additional storage. The Graphics card is under one of those two fans.

    The GTX1650 would run GTA5 a lot better than the PS4. 1080P ultra @ 50-60fps would be fine. The PS4 runs at 1080P 25-30fps at about highish equivalent settings.

    Ah nice one, makes sense alright. I have a spare HDD I can throw in there.
