    Rated 5 out of 5 by RKBrown from Excellent Investment The newer block dock requires less space than the original docks. I have had no problems with connections, with device communication, or device recognition. My complaint or suggestion is to remove the DP ports and add more USB-A and USB-C ports. I had to add a USB hub for the rest of my connections.
    Date published: 2024-08-09
    Rated 4 out of 5 by Peter Bergh from Needs firmware update When I first connected it to my laptop and connected my hubs to the dock, the laptop only saw one device from each hub. I checked HP's web site and found out that the dock had been delivered with out-of-date firmware. I downloaded and installed the latest dock firmware, after which everything was hunky-dory. It's HP's job to make sure their devices are delivered with up-to-date firmware. HP failed to do that. The customer should not have to fix HP's failures. Bottom line: device fine, HP failed.

We also had an issue with ASUS Pro Art Monitors connected to this dock using Display Port to Display Port cables (monitors kept connecting / disconnecting). Display Port to HDMI worked without issues, however this may be a Windows 11 issue and not a hardware issue.

    I'm a little confused. What's the point of the 280W G4 docking station if a separate cable (like the combo cable has) is required to power your laptop? Why not just buy the 120W version and plug the 4.5mm barrel of the AC adapter directly into the host?

    Asked by: Synorbit
    The HP Thunderbolt Dock 120W G4 provides charging power for up to 90W. If your PC requires more power than that to charge then the 280W is recommended. Thank you for your question!
