Spectre 13-w025nd
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I am searching for a while to figure which docking station is compatible with the Spectre 13-w025nd. Preferably the HP Thunderbolt dockings, even if some functions won't work. Main is to have additional USB ports, 2 screens (display ports, but HDMI will be okay too) and ethernet. The laptop should be powered through the docking station.

I can't really find what I'm looking for and being sure it is compatible.

You have a Thunderbolt port so your options are enhanced quite a bit. I am typing this on a laptop connected to this:

Does not come with a power supply but I got a generic 60w USB-C AC adapter and use that to power the dock and then the dock charges and powers the laptop. I am using it with a Lenovo Carbon X1 right now but also used it with an HP Spectre 13-v series which had only 3 Thunderbolt ports. Worked fine. 4K will only run at 30 hz however but you can drive a 4K from the DP and then a FHD from the HDMI. Gigabit ethernet, audio, built in card reader. Works well for me. There are many many similar devices out there including HP products. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
