    Hi, this laptop model has Intel Thunderbolt3 that supports USB-C Power Delivery and is compatible with the following USB-C docking stations:

    1. Acer USB Type-C Dock II: This is a reliable option that provides multiple ports, including HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-A, and Ethernet.
    2. CalDigit TS3 Plus: Known for its robust build and extensive port selection, including multiple USB-A, USB-C, DisplayPort, and Ethernet ports.
    3. Plugable UD-6950H: This docking station offers dual 4K display support via HDMI and DisplayPort, along with several USB-A and USB-C ports.

    Yes, the port can be used both for charging and for data. Here's the spec:

    Note that if you want to charge using the port and have devices like mouse and flash drives on it at the same time, the hub you attach needs to support that. Most of the less expensive hubs are data only, so with one of those you would charge with the normal, barrel connector, charger.
