Rated 1 out of 5 by Annette1130 from Don't buy it. Didn't work properly. Wouldn't always connect. Had trouble waking up the laptop and monitor with it. It's weird because at work, the one I have is perfect. But my personal laptop seemed to hate it.

Will this docking station work flawlessly with an Apple Mac computer?

Asked by: CrisG5924
For USB-C® alt mode functionality, the host PC must support the DisplayPort™ Alt mode protocol through its USB-C® or Thunderbolt™ port. Charging and port replication are supported on notebooks that have implemented USB-C® Alt Mode industry specifications. The power button to turn on or wake the system only functions on HP or HP-supported notebooks. PXE Boot functionality will depend on whether the host system firmware has the EFI driver available. This dock does not support Wake-On-LAN functionality nor MAC Address Pass Through. Connected firmware updates will require the end user to sit through the firmware update process until completed. HP does not provide ethernet and audio drivers on Mac PCs. Not all features work on all OS's or all HP or Non-HP devices.
