No better than the G2 dock and not near as good as the G5 dock. Advantages over the G2 dock, more USB ports and HDMI port in place of VGA. Also has a power button rather than the whole top being the power button. Downsides vs the G5, does not work well with the G6,G7, and G8 HP laptops.
Great device. Still waiting on my shipment of G2 docks, though. The G4 seems to perform quite well with most G8 and G9 EliteBooks and ProBooks. However, I have seen firmware updates brick a few G4 docks. Be aware.
This device is excellent and long overdue. It provides simplified docking without specialization. It allows for alternate devices to be connected with ease and functions as outlined in the documentation. .
Great device but I have had to replace two of them with 1 to 2 years. Another one the ethernet socket quit working and I had to use a USB-C adapter to get internet connection.
Want to like the dock but have jad some issues with the nic card/ethernet comnection being lost and have to fight with it to get it to recognize again.
