HPUSB-C Dock G5, 5TW10AA#ABB, Wired, For Notebook

Works as advertised!

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 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!

Does not work as intended. Purchased as option for 2nd device to use three monitors. Checked HP website and it stated compatible with their notebook. Did not work. Googled and found many others having same issue (unable to use external monitors (HDMI and DisplayPort), not working when connected to docking station. Reviewed BIOS and display settings only to find out problem known to HP and others still experiencing. Returned to HP to purchase the universal version of this docking station. Can only hope this one works, or it's time for say goodbye to HP and seek a generic alternative.

My blood pressure rises every time I think about the multitude of cheap-o 'hubs' or 'ports' I've tried to use over the last few years. Every one of them had critical Mal-functions after 1-3 months, ie. HDMI, DP, or VGA not working, faulty power and usb ports galore. This unit came with my recently upgraded work computer and I was so impressed I purchased another one for home/office use. Seamlessly supports personal MacBooks and work (Windows/Intel) based machines. I do a lot of photography processing on my MacBooks with a high resolution screen and simply plug in 1 cord. My work machine drives two monitors so I have that up and running without any flicker or failure after a few months of heavy, daily, use. Love the product.

Had to order multiple of these until I received the right PN... for some reason the first few I received wuld not charge my pc... called hp support, updated firmwares and nothing... finally got one that charges my pc and all is good

This product works as intended and is of high quality. Although more expensive than the generic brands, the instructions and drivers are well supported by HP on their website.The only initial confusion was getting confirmation it would interface properly with a new HP Envy 360 Model: 16-h1053dx. I'm happy to report it does, but this laptop still requires it's own power supply connected.

I was given one of these hubs for my work computer and really loved the convenience of inserting one plug and my laptop and having all external devices connected thru the hub. Needed the same convenience for my personal computer. I highly recommend this brand because I have purchased other "hubs" and they have been tiny little things that did not have the capacity to support multiple external devices. This HP hub connects my laptop to all my tech devices in one easy USB-C plug.
