And the other caveat to this hardware is the charging. The 60 watts provided isn’t enough power for charging the more powerful Ultrabook’s, like the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro. While the issue is not limited to Kensington products using DisplayLink, the below products from Kensington are currently impacted.

After working closely with DisplayLink (Synaptics) on the updated driver, and conducting extensive testing to ensure support on the above-mentioned Kensington products, we are happy to share that an updated driver (v10.1 M1) is now available.

Uses the power supply from SD4700P, SD4750P, SD4780P or SD4900P to provide power to USB-A enabled laptops that support 20V/85W. *The power splitter is optimized to provide rapid charging at 60W and is not intended for use with laptops under 20V/60W.* The software embedded in the USB-C laptop determines what types of functions are allowed via its USB-C port. Our experience of DisplayLink hasn’t been great, we’ll admit. Because it requires some significant processing on the PC, how much bandwidth it uses can vary wildly depending on the amount of change occurring, and most laptops don’t have the spare performance to drive it properly.
