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

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.

Works as it should., good value

Do not purchase!! Does not have warranty and HP support does not help. Docking station does not function properly with monitors, the monitors shut off randomly, & mouse response is unreliable, not allowing for copying-cutting, closing programs, moving programs from screen to screen, overall poor functionality.

Easy to use with a variety of home office uses. User friendly. Would recommend as simple, compact and not complicated.

I've used this dock with multiple laptops and it works great. My setup involves a Level1Techs 3-monitor/2 PC DisplayPort KVM splitting between this dock and a desktop.A Dell XPS 15 with discrete 4GB graphics was able to drive all three monitors through this with no issues. My Lenovo T14 Gen5 only has the juice to drive two monitors directly and so I have to use an active HDMI adapter for the third.This lesson is this dock won't drive more displays than your graphics adapter has the bandwidth to support. A lot of onboard graphics won't support three monitors through USB-C. Make sure you know what you have before you buy if a three screen setup is your goal.

Purchased this during the pandemic when there were supply-chain issues. I got a new laptop at work, but they were unable to provide a docking station, so thankful that Amazon had some of these available. I have used it flawlessly for four years now. This docking station has one HDMI and two display port adapters as well as two USB.

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.
