USB-C Dock G5 for business - for Notebook - USB Type C - 3 Displays Supported - 4K, QHD, Full HD - 4 x Type-A Ports - -A - - - 1 x RJ-45 Ports - Network (RJ-45) - HDMI - DisplayPort - Black - Wired

I bought this to go with a new HP laptop based on the low power Intel Core Ultra 7 processor. Laptop physical connection options are limited to two 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 10Gbps USB-C port. Newer monitors are equipped with USB-C in addition to HDMI or DisplayPort, but I need HDMI for the somewhat older monitor I use with the laptop. I've been using the Dock G5 for almost two weeks now. USB-A ports for older USB devices, the wired Ethernet port, and the HDMI port are all plug and play with no problems. The G5 USB-C port supports high-speed charging to my Android phone. It also replaces the charger that came with the laptop, charging it at the same rate. About the only downside I find is that the laptop is always kept fully charged if I leave it connected to the G5, so I have to disconnect it periodically to cycle the laptop battery. If you are considering purchasing this and expect it to work as a charger, you should make sure your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery and charging, and make sure the power levels are compatible between laptop and Dock G5. Newer, lower-power laptops that support only USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 physical connections are likely to support USB-C charging, while older laptops often will not. To be honest, the Dock G5 is probably overkill for my needs and I could have gotten by with a USB-C hub and some adapters. That said, the Dock G5 is well made and works perfectly with my HP laptop. I'm very happy with it and won't be looking back.

I've been through a couple of budget USB C docks on my wife's HP Envy laptop, and they've always been less than reliable. They would require constant power resets, randomly stop driving a monitor, USB audio issues and then complete failure. I finally just spent a bit more got the HP G5, connected it, ran the updates, and it's been rock solid.

Bought this for home to use with my work-issued laptop. This dock has 1 more conventional USB port than the one issued to me at the office, so I was able to hook up camera, keyboard/mouse, speakerphone, and headset plus 2x24" monitors via DisplayPort with no problems. Bought this to replace another dock that was under-powered with those USB devices connected. This runs the dual monitors and all of my peripherals with no fuss and no problems. I also tried plugging in my MacBook Pro and was disappointed (but not surprised) to find that it does not support dual external displays for that computer. No matter...would have been a nice bonus but it's perfect for what I need it for. The power button on top is an improved design over previous generations where the entire top panel acts as a power switch. Much less concern about accidentally tapping it and powering down the whole computer unintentionally. It's shorter and has a slightly larger footprint on the desktop than the older ones that are taller and narrower. To me, this one fits better in the space I have. All in all I am very satisfied with this product and I highly recommend it if you are working with a compatible PC.

After a few months, it was messing with my laptop...all of sudden my laptop was giving me issues. When I unplugged it - my laptop worked again.

This works just like the one I have at work. The only difference is there is a usb-c cable coming out of the front of this one whereas my work one has a usb-c connector only. It works great for my dual monitor setup with my laptop and then I can move the cord over to my mini computer and everything works the same way.

This is a great Dock, I use it for work and capable of supporting three screens. Never had an issue with it.

I wanted something small, simple, must be able to allow two monitors. This did everything. It didn't have two HDMIs but you can add a monitor. So i just when I stay must be able to use two monitors. I'm including my laptop.

I bought this to use with an HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 notebook, which natively supports dual 4k monitors. In the past I have used the HDMI 2.0 output, and a USB-C-to-HDMI-2.0 adapter output for the second display, and never had a problem with dual 4k monitors. I bought this dock in an attempt to lessen the amount of cables needed to plug into the laptop and an older, larger hub, but despite this hub stating dual 4k screens are supported, I could only get 4k on one output, and 1080p on the second output, no matter which combination of HDMI and DP used. It turns out the computer BIOS has a default setting that prevents dual 4k monitor support. In order to achieve 4k on both monitors, you need to enter the BIOS and change a setting. Steps: Turn on or reboot computer, start tapping the Esc key keep until you see a menu (before the Windows starts), then press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup. Next go to the Advanced tab at the top, and then System Options. Now set the Enable High Resolution mode when connected to a USB-C DP option. Finally, go back a couple screens and choose the option the Save and Reboot. Apparently this will change USB 3.2 ports to USB 2.0, but most people would never notice unless they're using external storage devices or external networking devices that need over 300-400 Mbps (not most people, and the dock's Ethernet should probably be full speed anyway). I'm not sure if it changes the speed of the USB-C ports, so just be on the lookout if you need faster speed for those ports. This is a poor default setting by HP, perhaps caused by a limitation in the Intel chipset. I wish HP were able to detect when a dock is plugged in and then change the default setting appropriately. I hope this helps you!
