I purchased an ENVY 2 in 1 tablet and needed a high speed hub to quickly connect to my high speed home network and multiple monitors for my work and hobbies. And this gives me the access and quick hook-up I need to go from portable to home PC mode. I also love the built-in Bluetooth to keep my wireless keyboard, mouse and headphones connected. Finally it has enough USB ports to connect flight and game controllers. It provides good low latency connection for all my devices.
Not the universal copck station we had hoped for. Wiht the Laptop we receved the Dock will not connect to the 2nd monitor, the printer or provide power to the laptop. This make it about the same as pluging the devices directly into the Laptop directly which is not helpfull at all.
Works well with my three screens that include a conferencing screen and HP laptop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being an IT professional I have multiple devices that I need to be able to hook up to dual displays and also have access to multiple accessories. I have used 2 other similar docks and had trouble switching between my MacBook Pro and Dell Windows 10 base laptop. Often various external devices would not connect correctly interrupting my conference calls etc. I am happy to say I have had ZERO issues when docking both of my devices with this HP G5 dock! It quickly powers on and just flat out works every time. This is a huge win for my daily hectic schedules which makes me an absolutely happy and satisfied customer! I will also be swapping out the 2 docks I have in place at my office with just 1 new HP G5 dock. If you are in the market for a USB-C dock I strongly suggest you give this device a try. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed you did!
Pros: Affordable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great dock with plenty of ports

I've gone through a bunch of unpowered USB-C adaptors, but the trouble is that it ends up being yet another device with a tonne more cables attached to it. What I love with this USB-C Dock is that you can get rid of many of those cables, adaptors, and plugs. At 100W it can power your laptop meaning you can leave your laptop charger at home (or at work.)
The cube is slightly bigger than I expected - it's about twice as tall and a little larger than a Macbook Pro charger, and quite a bit heavier so it's not going to be something I carry around, but rather leave plugged in at my workstation so I DON'T my charger around.) That said it's still relatively compact compared to other models. I plugged in my mouse, keyboard and monitor, everything worked seamlessly. I didn't have a second monitor in my home setup but you can actually power up to 3 screens with this unit (there are two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port.)
I love that there are four USB 3.0 connectors) two on the side, two on the back. I'm sure as is the case with most of us, in addition to a mouse and keyboard we usually have a bunch of phones and devices to charge as well. I like this enough I plan to get another one so I can leave one at home and one at work! While there are cheaper models out there they usually have less ports and plugs and lower power to the system, so it's worth the investment.
