Compact mini PC featuring USB-PD charging station and four monitors.
Hello, Your family member purchased an Acemagician AM06 Pro and attempted a 4-monitor configuration. They managed to connect three displays via HDMI/DP on the back and USB-C on the front. From what I understand, it could work with a dock supporting USB-PD because it already uses a Type-C power port. The issue they're facing is that several Type-C docks aren't providing any power output, even though they function correctly with other devices like the Galaxy Fold3. I’m unsure about the wattage of the included power supply and would appreciate any advice or solutions from others who have encountered this problem.
The Type C port at the rear is intended solely for power connections; it isn't suitable for displays or USB devices. Additionally, I believe the power supply doesn't support USB-PD—it likely uses a different proprietary protocol that doesn't align with the open USB-PD standard, making it incompatible with docking stations designed for that format. You might be able to connect via the front USB-C port using the power cable still attached to the back of the PC, though this could enable multiple displays.
The rear Type C connector is solely for power transmission. A dock can transmit power but won’t handle any other connections. The front Type C port might support certain devices, though it’s unlikely to deliver power to the PC—you’d still require the rear port connected to a power source.
