Confirmed with

  • Notebook (generic)

    The control circuit rigidly negotiates a maximum of 100W input and will not accept higher-rated 140W wall adapters even when connected directly. Using both video outputs simultaneously drops each from 8K@30Hz to 4K@60Hz.

    Confirmed — caveat
  • Steam Deck

    The retailer's own product page notes: 'For the best experience with Steam Deck, connect it to the wall charger when using with the hub' — implying the dock alone may not reliably power the console under load.
