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.

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.

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.

I have one of these at work, and it works fine. This one caused my monitors to flicker and go black intermittently. Initially it happened to the HDMI monitor. Tried several cables. Almost bought a new monitor thinking the monitor was bad. Then the other one started doing the same thing plugged into the display port. I found an older dell dock I had and there's been no flickering at all with it.When the box arrived, it looked like it had been reopened and tgen retaped, but the contents looked new. Though, I don't recall any plastic covering the surfaces like there would normally be. I think it was advertised as new, but was actually refurbished. But I don't have proof - just the odd things w/ packaging and the actual product defects!

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.

Description says it has 2 x DisplayPorts v1.2 (released in 2010) which according to VESA website must implements 4Kp@60Hz: That is not true.Used VESA Certified HBR2 DisplayPort cables, a BenQ PD2700U monitor and a HP EliteBook 850 G5 (Intel UHD Graphics 620), I couldn't go beyond [email protected] and using the Laptop HDMI 1.4 port goes to its max spec, 4Kp@30Hz, so Monitor and Laptop are not the problem.Called HP Customer Support and their reply was the Docking will not go beyond 2.5K on any port, which I wasn't able to reach. I couldn't find an official written specification of the version, so seems that nobody knows which is actually supported.A shame, I've been using this Docking for years at the office with different Laptops and it is very convenient, but it was always less than 1080p. If you don't need 4K this is an excellent and tough product, in my opinion better than those with the USB-C fragile cable. This is why I give it 3 stars.But I spent $800 extras on the 4K monitors that I am not willing to resign it now.I am returning it.
