And they will not run triple displays from an XPS 13 9343. But those docks would not be able to provide power to an XPS 13 9343, and they rely on 'indirect display' technology called DisplayLink - not to be confused with DisplayPort - which can create some issues. The closest you can come would be a 'universal' dock that used a regular USB port, such as one of Dell's Dxxxx dock models. The does not have either of those connector types. Docking stations use either proprietary connectors like Dell's older E-Port solutions, or newer options like USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. The total bandwidth requirements of the displays connected to the hub can't exceed the bandwidth available from that single source, but the would support DisplayPort 1.2, which would give you enough for dual QHD/1440p displays or triple Adding to my above reply, the does not support any type of docking station, at least not if you want the docking station to provide power to the system. And getting a motherboard for an XPS 13 model that came with USB-C wouldn't work because its ports wouldn't line up to the chassis cutouts on your current system.Д«ut you can run multiple independent displays from a Mini-DisplayPort output either via daisy chaining (if your displays support it) or an MST hub like this one. None of that would be present on a motherboard that was designed only for a Mini-DisplayPort output.

The Mini-DisplayPort output is soldered onto the motherboard, and a USB-C port would require a fair amount of circuitry on the motherboard to deal with USB data and power delivery in addition to video output, plus circuitry to support with the reversibility of a USB-C cable.

You can verify by checking your system model within Windows (there are various ways to do that), or the BIOS, or by going to and entering your Service Tag - which you should never post here.ДЄnyhow, no that upgrade isn't an option. That will at least make it faster to move the Thunderbolt cable back and forth, assuming both systems have a Thunderbolt port on the same Dell doesn't use calendar years to identify models, but based on your description this sounds like an XPS 13 9333. If you donвЂ™t need to use the laptopвЂ™s built-in display while docked though, one thing you could do would just be to keep both laptops closed and stacked one on top of the other. But I havenвЂ™t seen that for switching a Thunderbolt device between two systems. If it existed, it would probably be called a Thunderbolt host switch, because there are USB host switches, which are essentially USB hubs that allow you to plug USB devices into a hub and then have that hub connected to two separate host systems, and then you toggle which system can see those devices at any given time. I donвЂ™t know if a device to allow two laptops to connect to the same Thunderbolt dock simultaneously. It sounds like connecting the MST hub caused your system to send audio over DisplayPort to one of the displays, so if they donвЂ™t have built-in speakers or external speakers connected, then you wonвЂ™t hear anything in that case. You can't ask for much more.While the MST hub is connected, go to Start > Settings > System > Sound, then change the default audio output device back to your built-in speakers. Not only will it give you a super-fast wired data connection, but you'll get a few USB-A ports to hook up all your non-USB-C accessories.

Not only does it serve Gigabit Ethernet and support the enterprise-friendly PXE boot, but it also leaves your regular USB ports free for all those accessories and cables you already accumulated.ДЄdding USB ports is also something you can easily do while getting Ethernet on your laptop, too, and Amazon's excellent USB Ethernet hub is just the ticket. In the case of Ethernet, at least, that's easily rectified, and since you have a USB-C port, the tiny Dell USB-C Ethernet Dongle is a smart addition to your arsenal. Part of owning a slim laptop like the XPS 15 is the trade-off that you simply won't get all the ports you might need. The only downside is the 10/100Mbps support, which excludes 1000Mbps. It's also pretty well made and should last a fair while. What if you need some USB-A ports as well as Ethernet? This is where Amazon comes in with a four-port USB-C adapter.
