Symptoms
Are Dell G-Series Gaming laptops compatible with Dell's business computer docking stations?
(Figure.1 Dell G-Series Gaming Notebook)
The Dell G-Series of Gaming laptops are designed with the specific needs of mainstream gamers in mind. Powerful CPUs and graphics, plus efficient cooling technology in a portable, gaming-first package that does not break the bank.
Cause
Dell has designed this family of laptops for Gaming. As such making them compatible with Dell's business docking stations was not one of their considerations during design and testing.
Resolution
These computers were not designed with compatibility with Dell's business docking stations in mind.
Note: As they were not designed to work with the docks, they were never tested with any of Dell's docks. Without thorough testing by our engineering group, we cannot certify any Dell docking station as being compatible or capable of working with any computer.
The Dell G-Series of gaming laptops were designed to work with a series of dongle cables or certain home user docking solutions. If you are looking to expand the computer to other devices? I would recommend that you run a search in the Dell Shop for supported hardware instead:
