Hey guys,
I am trying to figure this out, but can not find the answer anywhere.

I am going to buy the new 2017 MBP 15 and I will be connecting two external monitors to it. (Not the LG one that is available from the apple directly). The idea is to connect one directly to MBP via USB-C and the second one to external dock/hub/station, which will be connected to MBP via Thunderbolt 3. I would like the dock to charge the MBP so I don't have to have four power socket connections, but the hub provides just 60 W power supply. I don't want to do that as I will be using MBP for work, so 60W won't be enough.

Now, the question is, Can I use 60W from the dock and another 60W from monitor to sufficiently supply the MBP? I mean, can I use 2x 60W instead of 85W that MBP requires?

Thanks everyone!!
