Dell WD19 USB-C Docking Station
A single-cable USB-C dock that turns a laptop into a full desktop workstation — HDMI and DisplayPort video out, Gigabit Ethernet, and a bank of USB 3.1 ports, all over one connector. Supplied with the Dell AC adapter and covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
-
One cable to the laptop: Video, data, wired network and laptop charging all travel down a single USB-C connector, so docking and undocking is one movement rather than five.
-
Dual video output: An HDMI 2.0b port and a DisplayPort 1.4 port drive external monitors directly, with a third video path available over the multifunction USB-C port.
-
Wired Gigabit Ethernet: Restores a proper RJ45 network port to thin laptops that have dropped it, which matters for stability on VoIP, VPN and large file transfers.
-
USB 3.1 expansion: Multiple Type-A ports plus a Gen 2 Type-C port handle keyboards, mice, headsets, webcams and external drives without a separate hub.
-
Charges while docked: The included Dell adapter powers the dock and delivers charge back up the USB-C cable, so the laptop tops up on the desk without its own charger.
-
Not locked to one laptop: Works with USB-C laptops from any manufacturer that support DisplayPort Alt Mode, so it survives a fleet refresh instead of being scrapped with the old machine.
Performance In Use
In a typical desk setup the WD19 does the job people actually buy a dock for: you sit down, plug in one cable, and two monitors, the keyboard, the mouse, the headset and the wired network all come alive at once. Because the dock holds the peripheral connections, nothing needs re-pairing or re-plugging when you leave for a meeting and come back.
For office and back-office work it has comfortable headroom. Two external displays running spreadsheets, a browser with a heavy tab load, a Teams or Zoom call and a USB headset is well within what the unit handles. Wired Ethernet through the dock is noticeably steadier than Wi-Fi for video calls and for moving large files to a NAS or file server.
The practical limit is bandwidth rather than the dock itself. Very high refresh rates, or several high-resolution displays at once, depend on what the host laptop GPU and its USB-C port will negotiate — the same dock will drive more on a modern machine than on an older one. For standard dual-monitor office resolutions it is comfortable, and it is a straightforward upgrade for anyone still working off a single laptop screen.

Condition Grades
| Grade |
What To Expect |
| A — Excellent |
Excellent to very good cosmetic condition. May carry light scratches or faint marks that are not obvious in normal use. Fully tested and functionally as-new. |
| B — Good |
Good cosmetic condition with visible signs of prior use — scuffs, scratches or minor blemishes on the casing. Cosmetic only; function is identical to Grade A. |
Grading is cosmetic. Every unit is functionally tested to the same standard regardless of grade. This product has no internal battery, so battery grading does not apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with a non-Dell laptop?
Yes. The WD19 is a USB-C dock, so it works with laptops from any manufacturer provided the USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Most business-class USB-C laptops from the last several years do. It is not restricted to Dell hardware.
Is the power adapter included?
Yes. This listing includes the Dell AC adapter, so the dock is ready to use out of the box. Docks are frequently sold bare, and without an adapter the dock cannot power itself or charge the laptop.
How many monitors can I connect?
Up to three external displays, using the HDMI port, the DisplayPort and the multifunction USB-C port. How many run at once, and at what resolution, is determined by the graphics capability of the laptop you connect it to.
Will it charge my laptop?
Yes, over the same USB-C cable that carries video and data, provided your laptop accepts charging over USB-C. Machines with very high power draw may charge more slowly than they would on their own factory charger.
What is the difference between the WD19 and the WD19TB?
The WD19 is the USB-C model and connects to any compatible USB-C laptop. The WD19TB is the Thunderbolt version, which offers greater bandwidth but requires a Thunderbolt 3 port on the host machine. This listing is the USB-C WD19.
Is it tested before it ships?
Every dock is bench-tested in our Melbourne workshop — video outputs, Ethernet, every USB port and laptop charging are all confirmed working before the unit is graded and listed.
What if it does not work with my laptop?
It is covered by a 12-month warranty, and our team can help confirm compatibility before or after purchase. If the dock is faulty we repair, replace or refund it.
Warranty & After-Sales Support
Every Dell WD19 dock sold by Reboot IT is covered by a 12-month warranty against hardware faults, backed by our own workshop rather than a third party. If something fails inside the warranty period we repair, replace or refund it.
Reboot IT has operated from Melbourne since 2001, refurbishing ex-corporate and ex-government IT equipment for businesses, schools and home users across Australia. Every unit is inspected, tested, data-wiped and graded in-house before it is listed.
Free standard AU shipping is included on this item. Orders include a tax invoice, and our support team is contactable by phone or email for setup questions after delivery.
