Can the device be charged normally via USB-C (docking station) or only via the surface hub?

The Surface Laptop 7 can indeed be charged via the USB-C port without the need for a Surface Hub or a special docking station. Here are some important points:
- You can charge the device with a USB-C PD Charger, provided the Charger delivers at least 65 watts, which is required for Fast Charging. - It is not necessary to use the proprietary Microsoft Charger; a compatible USB-C PD Charger will suffice.
However, there are some reports of potential problems when using USB-C chargers, such as the charging connection being cancelled after a restart, but these can often be resolved by plugging the charging cable back in.
