Very cool package, very convenient USB-C single cable hookup. Was going to be the cornerstone of my office workflow (multiple locations, multiple docks, one laptop moving between them all). BUT...when you read the fine print...way down in the user manual (that you have to find online)...it will only drive ONE high resolution external monitor???
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit has worked without issue since new. Nice to be able to turn a laptop in to a comfortable workstation that handles two monitors and all the peripherals.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dock has worked flawlessly. I haven't had a single issue with device connectivity after bringing my ZBook out of sleep. Only nit I have is the combo cable coming out of the front of the dock results in some loss of desk space. Overall I am extremely pleased with this upgrade!
OK but cable compatibility problems with new model

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought as recommended for spectra 360. The power cable and USB thunderbolt cable are joined together and cannot be separated far enough to enter the laptop ports which are on opposite sides of the spectra.. I had to perform modification.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This version of he Thunderbolt Dock works better than the last; however still having everything run through one USB port does not work near as well as the old docking stations.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HP Thunderbolt Dock provides plenty of power to keep my ZBook laptop and its peripheral equipment running effectively.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a couple weeks ago and it is working great. One annoying drawback was that I had to update my new pc's BIOS, the docking station's firmware and install thunderbolt connection manager software straight out of the box in order to get the docking station to work. Wasn't truly plug and play but after those software updates were complete station is functioning perfectly with no issues to date.
Easy set up, plug and play almost. I would have given them 5 stars, but I had to buy adaptors to get my monitors to work. Make sure when you order your monitors have the correct connections
