USB-C Compatability 14-cf1015cl laptop with Y0K80AA#ABA

[Brad92103]

Hello, I have read that some models are compatible with the power of the USB-C port and the HP Y0K80AA#ABA and some are not (needing the adapter). Does anyone have a list of specific models?  MIne is 14-cf1015cl and does not appear to be compatible. I am trying to determine if the dock is defective or just a limitation of my laptop model.  Thank you so much, Brad in San Diego.

I think your machine is 14-cf1015cl  (letter l for lolly) not 14-cf1015cli (letter i for ink). Its specs

       https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06152880

which says it has

• 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s);
• 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Data transfer only);
• 1 HDMI 1.4b.
• 1 RJ-45;
• 1 headphone/microphone combo

As you know, not all USB-C ports are the same and as you can see above USB-C port on your machine is similar to UAB-A ports, except its shape.

Depending on what are you trying to do, USB-A dock could be the right choice. My choice for productivity and few more years down the track:

             HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2

Regards.

Thank you BH for answering my question. You are right about the model. So it sounds like the dock is working just fine and that my laptop's USB-C isn't robust enough to take advantage of all the features. That's OK. I am happy with what I have.
