Dell's flagship dock is the WD22TB4, a Thunderbolt4 dock with a special modularity.
The front of the dock features a single USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and a USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port with PowerShare (always on). On the back of the device are two DisplayPorts, 1.4 port, one HDMI 2.0 port, another USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port (with DisplayPort support), two more USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports with PowerShare, a gigabit LAN port and the DC input. The dock supports up to 130 watts of charging power and can connect to up to three 4K 60Hz displays plus a single 4K 30Hz monitor simultaneously. At one end is a detachable module that includes two Thunderbolt4 ports. This can be swapped out for a module with one or two USB-C cables. The Dell Port Replicator WD22TB4 offers a particularly convenient feature for Dell notebook users: the power button. With this feature, users can turn their notebook on and off directly via the power button on the port replicator, without having to press the power button on the laptop itself. This function, exclusively available for Dell notebooks, significantly increases user-friendliness and efficiency.
Note on the USB-C connector:
Charging capacity with 180 watt AC adapter is 130 watts on Dell systems and 90 watts on non-Dell systems.
On non-Thunderbolt systems, the dock's Thunderbolt ports function as USB Type-C ports.
Important information:
In order for this dock to be recognized by your system, update all your drivers.

Technically speaking, a more powerful power supply can be used without any problems and does not pose any danger to your device, as it always draws as much energy as it currently needs. The only disadvantage is the usually higher price of the more powerful product.
In order to use your docking station or port replicator, you need the appropriate drivers. The easiest way to find these drivers is directly from the manufacturer of the docking station/port replicator. You will usually need the serial number or the exact model name.
The driver for our in-house port replicator can be found on our info page for the IPC port replicator.
Yes, as general rule this is possible. Although you have to consider the power capacity and the type of the connection.
The most remarkeble advantages in comparison to USB3.0, are a faster data transmission rate and the possibility to charge the device via USB-C. Also is USB-C becoming the default option for more and more devices.
On the one hand you have to consider the compatibility of your device. If your laptop has no USB-C connection, it can cause problems with newer models. On the other hand the port replicator has to produce enough power and can not convert less watts than your Notebook needs. At last you can choose how many and what type of connections for peripherals you need.
