This dock has a proprietary cable that only works for certain alienware laptops.

I'm thinking of buying this:

and sticking my RTX 2080 Super (or a 3060ti if I can find one soon) in it and run it on my Dell G7 7790 that has an RTX 2060

 

My question is my laptop has a USB type C thunderbolt port - will this work with that? 

 

The info on the Dell website seems to suggest it will only work with Alienware 13, 13 R3, 15 R3, Alpha R2

 

Is that true or will this technically work with ANY USB type C Thunderbolt equipped laptop?

 

Will this work with other non Dell laptops that have a Thunderbolt port?

DISPLAYS: LG 27UL500 IPS 4k60hz + HDR and LG 27GL650F IPS 1080p 144hz + HDR

 

LAPTOP: Lenovo Legion 5 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H GPU: RTX 3070 8GB RAM: 16GB 3200MHz (2x8GB DDR4) STORAGE: 4TB Crucial P3 NVMe SSD + 2TB Samsung 970 evo plus NVMe SSD DISPLAY: 1080p 165hz IPS OS: Windows 11 Pro x64
