The Thunderbolt Dock G2 from HP brings Thunderbolt 3, USB Type-C, USB 3.0 Type-A, DisplayPort, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, and 3.5mm audio to HP and non-HP Thunderbolt and USB Type-C notebooks. It also supports USB Type-C notebook charging up to 100W and is compatible with systems running Windows 10 and 7, macOS, and Google Chrome.
HP’s Thunderbolt Dock G2 is equipped with two USB Type-C ports, both of which support data and power up to 15W, and one of which also supports DisplayPort video output. There is also one Thunderbolt 3 port, which delivers bi-directional transfers speeds of up to 40 Gb/s and supports USB 3.1 (USB 3.1 Gen 2) at up to 10 Gb/s and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2. Additional peripherals can be connected using the three USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one of which is powered, while additional video can be output using the two DisplayPort and one VGA port. The Thunderbolt 3, USB Type-C with DisplayPort, and two DisplayPort video outputs can support up to four simultaneous displays and resolutions up to 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz. If you need to connect speakers, a mic, or a headset, there is a 3.5mm audio combo jack, and network connectivity is achieved using the Gigabit Ethernet port.
System power is provided using an included 120W AC adapter. Power Delivery 3.0 is also supported and outputs 5V/5A, 9V/5A, 12V/5A, 15V/5A, and 20V/5A to compatible devices. Protection is provided by a limited 1-year warranty.

Literally plug in and go. I didn’t need to do anything else. Very happy with this purchase.

Works like a charm. Charges the laptop. Allows me to turn on the laptop without opening. On the expensive side, but does the trick.

This device doesn’t work with any “legacy” (more than a year or two old) laptops. Also, if you try to leave an honest negative review, HP won’t post it.

Works great! Was able to connect both of my monitors and webcam so that I can work and have my laptop out of the way.

only complaint is that the front usb-C is not long enough

I work in IT Support and every day we get 5+ calls in relation to these stupid things not working, Laptops range from HP Elitebook G5 – G8.

Love the small footprint and the ability to plug in any laptop instead of a docking station that’s made for specific laptop model. Well worth the cost.

The docking station is attached to an Elitebook. Out of the box, none of the attached peripherals worked. After hours of troubleshooting had to discharge the battery and it worked for two months and now back to troubleshooting about why it stopped working.
