This dock is powered using an included 120W AC adapter and connects to your host system using an integrated USB Type-C cable that provides up to 100W of charging power for HP systems and up to 75W for non-HP systems.
In addition to providing data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gb/s, the USB 3.0 Type-C port provides up to 15W of power.

Works Great. Need to connect headset to the dock for the best Skype experience otherwise you have to change the headset every time.

I’ve been working for some time now with this type of docking station and is very annoying.

I wanted to plug in this device, plug it into my laptop, plug it into an external monitor and have it all work. But nothing worked. Everything was plugged in correctly. My laptop could not recognize the external monitor. The HP support website could not help me. HP says my item is ineligible for return. I am unhappy with this purchase.

I was able to easily shop online and choose my features and accessories. The process was quick and the information provided to make my choices was thorough and easy to understand.

Have the product for over a week now. It does everything I need to do. Video, NIC, etc. The only thing I wish it did was charge my laptop. Found out the USB-C port on my laptop does not let it charge the main battery. Still glad I purchase the product.

Do not rely on HP to guide you properly on which Doc stations are compatible with your HP laptop as they themselves are not certain. I won’t even begin to explain the inconvenience that I’m now experiencing with HP in an effort to correct their own faults and take accountability for their misguided direction!!!!!!!

Loved this docking station. I many times need to work from home and this docking station really helped me connect all my required devices to one system. I even connected multiple monitors to my laptop. Makes the job super convenient and I also love how small it is.

Small and compact but plenty of plug ins. Easy to use. Plenty of ports for my home office needs.

I have a HP zBook BANG & OLUFSEN laptop and recently hooked up a HP G5 Thunderbolt docking station #5TW10UT#ABA. All is well except the 2 Display Ports support 4K at 30 Hz NOT 60 Hz. This kinda sucks. My previous 6.5 year old docking station and laptop supported 4K at 60 Hz. It also doesn’t charge the laptop very fast, since its driving power through the USB type-C connector. Other than these two items, the docking station is great. The LAN, two USB, work well. Size and form factor are nice. I like the USB type-C connector rather than the convention hard dock I had previously. I guess I wish the USB type-C cable was longer so I could place the docking station further away, and hide it and the cables from sight.

Recently purchased this docking station to complete my work from home set up. Simple and easy to use! Exactly what I was looking for.

Smallest Docking Station I have ever owned – works wonderfully!

I work from home and I get entangled in wires and cords. What’s really nice about this dock is it is a built-in, all in one connection for my MacBook, USB, ports, HDMI cable, Ethernet, etc. If I need to be away from my charger, it has enough power to keep my laptop powered. You can plug in your second monitor or monitors for a professional setup at home. It’s all in one for all your electronic needs (phone, mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.

Purchased this for my Spectre x360 about a month ago. Delivered quickly but had to wait for the Spectre to arrive (approx. 1 month). Plugged into USB-C on Spectre and my new LG UHD 4K monitor using the DisplayPort. Worked great for 3 days and for no apparent reason the DisplayPorts and HDMI just quit working :-(. Ethernet and USB ports continued to function. Updated firmware to no avail. Called support – they suggested an exchange. RMA in process and waiting for new dock to arrive. Hoping the replacement will last.

Highly recommend this dock if you have a permanent workstation. My macbook doesn’t work with many docs bc Mac doesn’t like to play nice with peripherals. However this one connected just fine and I was able to connect my monitor no problem. It was having issues with my second monitor though so I don’t know whats is the deal. Overall it looks great at for 1 monitor works like a champ. Highly recommended and I don’t need extra USB port fixtures plus it looks really sleek

this will only work with one monitor. We bought this to use a dual monitor set up with our hp laptop.

This dock is amazing. I previously used a dongle on my laptop with multiple cords going in and out, and had to wiggle it just right to have the HDMi work on my monitor. This docking station eliminates all of that. It is clean and powerful, and makes my work easy.

Worked perfectly without any problems although I’m still trying to figure out the on/off switch.

Connects flawlessly with all my peripherals. I have had lots of issues with other manufacturers docking solutions, even when using a computer of the same brand. The HP Dock worked first time and evert time with no problems.

I bought this docking station but is not working properly with my gaming laptop, very disappointing. Every port works fine except external monitors (HDMI and display port)

Being an IT professional I have multiple devices that I need to be able to hook up to dual displays and also have access to multiple accessories. I have used 2 other similar docks and had trouble switching between my MacBook Pro and Dell Windows 10 base laptop. Often various external devices would not connect correctly interrupting my conference calls etc. I am happy to say I have had ZERO issues when docking both of my devices with this HP G5 dock! It quickly powers on and just flat out works every time. This is a huge win for my daily hectic schedules which makes me an absolutely happy and satisfied customer! I will also be swapping out the 2 docks I have in place at my office with just 1 new HP G5 dock. If you are in the market for a USB-C dock I strongly suggest you give this device a try. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed you did!
