I bought this docking station and it came out defective (it just didn’t turn on). I contacted customer support and they shipped a replacement without any problem. Problem is, that graphics where not compatible with my laptop so I had to cancel the replacement and return the deffective all together. The station does look great and seems to do the job just fine, but sadly I couldn’t actually test it since it wasn’t compatible. Make sure you check if your computer displays through C dock before you buy!

Issues connecting additional monitors, tried both HDMI and Display cords. Read many forums and apparently there is no active fix to this issue.

Even as a mac user this dock still does a great job! With just one single USB-C connection needed on my Macbook Pro, this dock gets me all the ports I need. I no longer have to carry around all my extra dongles. I especially like how this dock has 2 normal USB ports and an HDMI as well.

I needed a replacement dock for a Spectre with a usb-c port and not much else. I installed this dock, updated the firmware, and added the peripherals I needed. No problems with anything not working right from the start.

It was easy to setup and removed so much wire clutter from my desk. It even charges my laptop so I don’t need to plug in the laptop charger separately.

I work from home for a large World Wide technology company. I use external monitors and multiple external hard drives. I also run an at home business. I can easily swap out my work computer for my business computer with no issues.

Works like a charm… Multiple ports and display options are great!

This docking station is the perfect size and packs a lot of features. I connect up my HP Elite Book to this with no issues. I have 2 monitors connected up via the HDMI and Display ports with no issues and able to plug my Ethernet cable right into instead of using WIFI for faster speeds. No issues with the USBC connection. No lag in speed or with display.

Ordered Monday AM, Dec-21… delivered Tuesday PM, Dec-22. Unbelievable delivery speed. Oh, and the dock did everything we needed it to on an EliteBook 840 G7 with dual external monitors, 100% plug+play, no headaches. Expensive for a dock, but totally worth it.

I had a Targus docking station and it began to give me a little issue so I investigated options. Since I’m an HP laptop owner I gravitated to an HP product this time and so far I am very pleased with my choice. Worked flawlessly and immediately from the get go. Just what I needed and is nice and compact.

Looking for a dock that would work with both our recent MacBooks and HP EliteBooks with USB-C. Worked very well with HP driving 2 external displays from either 2 displayport or 1 displayport & 1 HDMI. MacBook was able to drive both displays (extended) only when one was connected via DisplayPort and the other was connected using a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Dock was able to charge both laptops from single Thunderbolt connector. Exceptional quality. Five stars!

I was hesitant to buy this at first. This works well with my spectre! I love it! I do recommend this product

Only one wire needed per tv. Still figuring out how to make the sound work when my laptop is hooked to this (and therefor the monitors) because I need the camera on the laptop

Connected with my hp computer. Unfortunately it works one day and does not work the other day! Not recommend! You can get much cheaper product than this one!

The G5 Docking Station is a compact device that offers a simple plug to the computer (like a phone charger) with plenty of ports for USB Connections (including 2 fast charging).

I really like this docking station because it provides power to my laptop, so I can keep the power cord in my laptop bag. Also because I can turn on and turn off the laptop from the docking station. I keep my laptop lid closed and it is connected to a double screen monitors. So it is worth a price.

Great performance. It makes my work environment enjoyable.

While the device is not thunderbolt certified ( 4 stars not 5), it definitely pushes the bits through from my laptop. It drives two external monitors. My laptop is thunderbolt, but I guess that probably saved me some licencing fee money in the purchase price with dock not being certified. No hiccups. Just always works! And it stays cool to the touch, not a coffee warmer like my previous dock :).
