I am very disappointed with this Docking device. I don’t recommend it.

I got this doc originally because I wanted to connect my monitor to my ultrabook and needed some sort of solution. This has been perfect with no latency issues for video output. I even now run a ethernet connection to the doc so my system isn’t completely reliant on the wifi signal. Also, I travel frequently for work; this doc is amazingly portable and I can bring it with me and plug it in no matter where I am on the go. Highly recommend this doc for anyone who works from home or travels frequently yet still needs plenty of connections.

I definitely enjoyed using the dock from the get go, is so convenient and easy to use. I love the fact that I don’t have to have a dozen different cables coming and going every way. Very stylish so can be on top of my nightstand or dresser and it looks great.

I love that everything can be housed in one device and that I can easily switch between work and personal computers.

Love! Love this prodcut to be able to set it and forget it with the ability to add more in the future. I use it for 2 27 HP Monitors, 1 HP laptop, logitech USB keyboard and Mouse. It does not need to be HP products for it to work. ease of just plugging in USB C to laptop and automatically connect to internet and all devices

The size is small enough for the desk and I like that it also charges the laptop without the laptop plug

I own a lot of technologies around my table in my office, including two monitors, one TV and multiple accessories. I have used this kind of product before, but cannot connect Macbook pro and ASUS laptop with Windows version, but I need to switch between two laptops. When I used this HP G5 dock, it can help connect my two monitors and accessories, such as my cell phone charger and apple watch, and even I have conference video call, and it still works perfect. I do not need to interrupt any services when switching different services, and also my laptop run very fast. This is very important for my job. I really enjoy this HP G5 with USB C/Thunderbolt ports, and the installation is also super easy, and I put on top of my stand, and it looks elegant. I am ready to purchase another one to replace my old doc at home.

The dock was purchased so that my personal HP Laptop would have an easier connection to two external HP Monitors, & HP Printer. I learned that my personal HP Laptop does not support external monitors or charging through the USB-C connection. The solution is to have 4 connections into my laptop instead of one. The reason I was told is that my laptop is for consumer use, and the Dock is for commercial applications.

The displayport slots are not the right size. The cable slips out. One of the slots does not work at all.

I bought HP USB-C DOCK G5 and HP PROBOOK 450 G6-Intel integrated graphics 620. I need dual monitor setup, that is why i bought this hardware.I have two monitors DellU2719D, which have native resolution 2560x1440px. Both conneced to dock. On one monitor is native resolution but on other only 1920×1080 30Hz-flickering. Something is not working as it shoud.

I bought this to use with my HP Elitebook x360 and 2 – HP Elitedisplay E223s (DisplayPort). I really like the fact that this dock charges my computer while connected. I initially experienced some difficulty with my monitors not automatically detecting a video signal upon connecting, which was easily solved by updating to the latest Intel HD 620 display driver (via HP Support – Drivers & Software, as my IT department doesn’t deploy the latest drivers as released). Works perfectly! No flickering or disconnection that I had previously experienced with other docking solutions.

Just received this dock and am blown away by how well and simple it works. It is exactly what my desk needed to help organize all my cables, monitors, etc. I work in software and spend 10+ hours a day at my desk so having a tool like this to help consolidate all my displays as well as charge my laptop? That is freaking awesome. No more bringing my charger or adapters to work everyday to then unpack every night. Cosmetically, it also looks great on my desk under my monitor. Has a very low profile light that illuminates when plugged in to a device. USBC is 1m in length and seems to be very sturdy of a cable. Can’t wait to get some more gadgets and maximize it to the fullest potential. Thanks HP! Side note: I primarily use a MacBook and it works great with it.

Just bought this to work from home with two monitors. Works great and also charges laptop. I also think it makes my picture brighter.

Does exactly what I wanted. A little too large. Wish there was a USB port in the front of the device as well.

Purchased this docking station last month for home use, and it’s great. Love having a fully charged battery and the ability to use the various ports. Note: cannot use two monitors without another adaptor.

A good assortment of essential ports, and it works well when it is finally set up. But the design of the connection to the adapter and the lack of documentation cost me many hours, since it was impossible to find where to plug it in without the documentation that tech support had, but the product team did not see fit to provide to the customer. It’s such a strange design (the adapter port is hidden in a T-shaped configuration on the bottom) that the first support person told me the adapter was for a different computer and to just not use it (huh? no power!). I was ready to return the dock as useless until the second support call was handled by a representative who was able to figure out that there MUST be a way to get power to the device. She finally consulted the documentation she had, found the port, and saved the day. So the lack of documentation for this product was a major problem. If I had it, I wouldn’t have spent hours trying to figure it out before I spent several more hours on the phone. I had a similar problem with the Active Pen, which I have been unable to use. I opened a support case that is still unresolved. So I can’t say I’m thrilled with my experience with HP accessories, but now that I have it set up, the dock does work well. My Dragonfly is an outstanding computer, and so far the documentation for that computer has been excellent. But the lack of useful information about the accessories really lets the designers of my wonderful new HP computer down. Please try to do better.

This USB dock is a life saver! I save all my files on it, so any of my devices can access these files. The setup is very simple and effective, because you don’t need to deal with it again! I have not had any issues with this, and would recommend to anybody that uses multiple devices weekly

This dock delivers. One USB-C Thunderbolt cable to the HP laptop is all that is needed to drive 2 27 inch monitors, wireless mouse & keyboard, webcam, and a USB thumb drive. The cable also maintains a charge on the laptop and all that is needed is a single touch to the power button on the dock to wake the system.
