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.

I recently got a new MacBook that only has USB C/Thunderbolt ports so I was looking for something to reduce the clutter on my desk at work and this has worked really well. One cord to my laptop and I have all of my peripherals neatly out of the way without having to plug in a bunch of different things every morning.

This dock was a birthday gift to myself, and boy was it worth it! It came in great packaging that kept it safe during its long journey, and when hooked up to my ProBook 450 G6 and my peripherals I can turn everything on with the push of a button. And when using Windows 10’s display settings I can use both screens to expand my workspace. My take on it is that I can have a video on my monitor and my work, such as Email, on the laptop. All in all, it’s a great way to do things! That’s a fact.

Does not take up much space, all the options to connect everything and charges the laptop. Super ease to unplug one cord and take the laptop with you or reconnect back at your desk.

This thing is awesome. I needed a way to connect my HP work laptop to my two home monitors, but most docking stations/drivers I found online required installing software, which I am not allowed to do on my work computer. I bought this because it’s also an HP product, hoping no installations would be necessary, and I was right. I just plugged it in and it just worked immediately! Plenty of space on the dock to plug in both monitors, a mouse, keyboard, and my headset. It also charges my laptop, meaning I can leave my charger at the office. I love this thing!

Bought the G5 to marry with HP Envy 13 two years ago. Recently acquired a Dell XPS 13 9310., with Thunderbolt 4. The G5 fired right up. Drives an HDMI connected 24″ monitor, several hard drives, and powers the XPS all via one cable. Happy camper here.

It does not work with my two 4K monitors and HP laptop.

I have a few computers and laptops, each for a specific role. One for work, another for play and a third for testing. Subsequently, utilizing multiple monitors is necessary at times. The HP USB-C Dock G5 works nicely with all three computers. Simple plug and play as the saying goes. Switching between monitors with this is a breeze and having 4 High Speed USB ports is nice addition. Overall am quite please with this.

We bought six of these docking stations last year and all but one no longer work. They will not turn on and are completely worthless after barely over a year of use.

I bought this a week ago, to hook up with my HP PavilionLaptop. It’s a great concept unfortunately it won’t drive my HDMI powered monitor, and the power supply doesn’t charge my laptop. Very disappointing…great concept though.

I bought this to use with my new laptop. It arrived before the laptop and after talking with a couple of computer nerds and reading the reviews I wasn’t sure I would keep it. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and set up with the addition of a desktop monitor. This makes up for the lack of ports on the laptop allowing me to plug in what I need to plug in and making use of the HDMI port for my monitor without plugging and unplugging things Now I can keep the portable usb I have for use when traveling. For me it was worth the investment.

Can’t get it to work I have connected every which way and I can’t get it to work properly.

Works great with my HP Elite Book 840 G5 right out of the box. No driver issues. Love the multiple monitor support

According to the specs of the dock, it is compatible with EliteBook 840r G4 Notebook PC. I have this laptop, but the HDMI and DisplayPort do not work. Only usb ports and LAN are working. I have tried the drivers on the HP website for this device, still no display. I give up and return the dock.

I received this HP USB-C Dock G5 and was finally able to try it out for a week. My thoughts are simple: this product works as intended, the product has a durable feel, and all the necessary components and wires were included. I’ve always wanted a USB-C laptop dock but just couldn’t justify getting from an unknown brand. However, that all changed with the HP branded dock. I really love the lightweight feel and thought that the dock was the appropriate size considering all the different attachments that you can add. Usually, docks are bulkier and contain more components that may be connected to but the price is unnecessarily huge. Anyhow, I feel that this is a good dock that I will use for a long while yet because it has all the connections that I need. No unnecessary fluff. I definitely enjoyed using the dock and my wife loves it as well. I think what could be improved upon this dock is probably a power brick that is built into the unit itself or improving the power output. Another thing is probably more colors to choose from. I am a huge fan of customization so the limited colors available might be a problem. I didn’t take any stars off for it though because I understand that colors may not be the most important for a simple USB-C dock. I love using this dock and you will enjoy it too! Again, this product works as designed and I can’t really find any faults besides what I have already mentioned. So overall, I would like to thank the manufacturer for providing such an amazing dock and I hope to get more HP products in the future.

I needed a dock for my new HP Spectre x360 that would allow me to connect an external keyboard, mouse, and 2 monitors. I tried another brand and, while it worked, required software to be installed and caused some intermittent freezing/stuttering. I decided to give this dock a try and it works perfectly without the need for additional software with no freezing or stuttering. What’s also great about it is it works with my work (HP) laptop as well, so I’m able to swap out laptops as the need arises.

I’ve tried other docks before, but this one is straightforward and easy to use. Everything plugs into this, including thumb drives, etc, and then you have a single cable that plugs into your computer. I love it.

I’d been looking for a sleek USB C/Thunderbolt 3 dock for my MacBook Pro; I came across the HP G5 Dock and it fit the bill. This thing is awesome! I like the size, port selection and wide range of supported devices. This is a dock I feel like I will have for quite awhile. In all 5/5!

This dock is great is you need to run dual monitors. I use this for work and I have no issues. Dual monitors printers etc. I can just plug in and get going. It’s great that it’s just one cable. Easy to use. I love it

nice and perfect for my setup….. multiple connections that gets the job…done

I am extremely happy with this dock. I also use a ThinkPad with a ThinkPad dock, and the HP laptop and dock is such a better system. It’s weird to consider this, but connect-ability will likely influence future laptop purchases for my team. Highly recommend.
