The specs for HP Spectre x360 13-ac0xx says

(2) USB 3.1 Gen 2 with Thunderbolt™ Gen 3 technology,

Connects an AC adapter that has a USB Type-C connector, supplying power to the computer, and if needed, charging the computer battery.

– or –

Connects and charges a USB device that has a Type-C connector, such as a cell phone, camera, activity tracker, or smartwatch, and provides high-speed data transfer.

– or –

Connects a display device that has a USB Type-C connector, providing display output.

NOTE:Your computer may also support a Thunderbolt docking station.

I have an HP X360 1030 G2 and a Targus USB-C docking station, Targus part # CVR617. 

The USB-C cable is not charging the notebook.  Is this related to a previous post I found about the BIOS having the USB-C powering option turned off for anything other than an HP product?

Thanks,

Debi

Also, my CDW rep said the HP Elite 90W Thunderbolt 3 dock was required for the X360.  Is that correct?  90W is required on the power?

On the new Spectre X360 13 8th gen Intel CPU i also cant connect the Omen Accelerator. It is suppose to work out of the box and charge the notebook. None of that works! I regret buying the spectre and the accelerator!
