Third-party docking solutions features
• The Vostro 15-7580 system supports standard Thunderbolt 3 protocol/features on external graphic docks. However, performance has
not been validated in many third-party Thunderbolt 3 eGfx docks and so users may experience certain unexpected compatibility issues.

Hybrid Power

Users may observe certain behaviors when the system is heavily loaded or in certain gaming conditions, such as:
• Battery capacity does not increase even when connected to the power adapter.
• Battery charges slowly when connected to the power adapter.
The hybrid power feature in the Vostro 15–7580 systems enable the battery to output power to the system during heavy loading and in
certain gaming conditions to support overall system power demand (as long as battery capacity is above 10 %).
Battery charging will resume immediately as soon as the system exits the heavy loading condition.
