Customer Reviews for HP - Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station - Black

The network connection doesn't work sometimes and the monitors shut off unexpectedly. We've called support and so far there has been no solution other than the docking station can't be left on overnight. I've had other docking stations left on for months without a single issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Used the HP Thunderbolt dock with the Envy 13x360. It worked great. Then used the HP Thunderbolt dock with the Envy 16 and that was a problem. Everything worked except of the ethernet connection. The dock Envy 16 combination would only do Wi-Fi. So I had to use an ethernet to USB adapter plugged into the dock to get an internet connection.

This dock works exceptionally well with the Ubuntu OS that came pre-loaded with my HP Zbook Power 16 G11 A. The port density is exceptional, it’s got enough juice to charge the laptop, and the built in Ethernet port is nice if I want to use two Ethernet ports at once. The one caveat however, is that Ubuntu constantly throws a PCIe Data-Link error for the thunderbolt connection to the laptop. While it isn’t specifically affecting the laptop in a negative way, it fills up the DMESG log and there is no way to seemingly correct the issue.
Since HP refuses to support an OS they preload, you either have to figure it out yourself or use the Ubuntu forums. While I am Linux savvy, this issue has so far eluded me. HP, if you are going to advertise an OS for your devices, you need to provide at least some level of minimal support with your own equipment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a wonderful product that works perfectly out of the box without the need for installing special software.

This is the 120W smaller cousin to the 280W docking station. Despite the lower power output, it can handle all the basic needs of a small business work station setup. Excluding the type-C cable connection from the docking station to the PC, it has 11 various ports: 4-USB type-A super speed (2 with charging), 3-USB 3.0 type-C (1-standard type-C, 1-type-C Thunderbolt 4, 1-type-C+DisplayPort), 2-DisplayPort, 1-HDMI , 1 ethernet. This allows you to hook up at least 2 monitors [max up to 4 depending on the PC]. This cube-like docking station has a small footprint and can handle most of your basic connection needs.,
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
