Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Headroom notes
Two Thunderbolt 4 ports with Power Delivery and nothing else — no USB-A, no card slot. The 15 W comes from Intel's Thunderbolt 4 floor, not from Dell, who publishes no per-port current. Since one of the two ports is usually holding the charger, a bus-powered interface and a dock cannot both be plugged in without a hub.
Production Warning
Beware the model number: Dell used '9350' twice — for the 2015 XPS 13 and again for this 2024 Lunar Lake machine. The older one has Thunderbolt 3 and a USB-A port. Search results mix the two freely.
