Yes! Unlike most hubs, docking stations are plugged into the wall, so they can provide power to both your laptop (up to 100W depending on the model) and peripheral devices.

Yes. A docking station is intended for use at a fixed desktop location. As universal laptop docking stations are designed to provide more features and functions (dual 4K video, 100W power delivery, charging of mobile accessories and more), an external power supply is required.

If you are looking for a solution to support your mobile needs, a bus-powered mobile docking station (often referred to as a USB hub or mobile dock) might be the better option.
