Rated 3 out of 5 by J Bruce N from Doesn't play well with my HP ENVY Good price point. However, I cannot leave my computer in sleep mode overnight. It won't recognize my HP monitors the next morning without unplugging the USB-C connector. I was using a DELL USB-C dock as I was retiring and did not have this problem.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ana M from Nice item - be sure to double-check compatibility I used this dock when I had employer-issued equipment a few years ago. I really liked it and was sorry when the job ended and I had to send it back. So this year, I was finally able to get it from HP at a lower price than anywhere else! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be all that compatible with my current HP laptop. When I connect the laptop to the dock with the C cable, it doesn't charge or power on, so I have to use the power cord (didn't before). It also doesn't recognize the HDMI cable from the monitor (maybe it would recognize an older type of cable, but I haven't tried). It's rather disappointing. I have an different model HP laptop that might be more compatible, but the one I use regularly has more memory, so I was hoping it would be seamless with this one. Oh well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steveco12 from I Like it I like it. It has a small footprint, charge through design and a nice sales price. Not a whole lot of ports but I have both my 3d and laser printer plugged in, good enough for me. I use dual monitors when I have my laptop plugged into it with no issues.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Line Judge from HP Dock Video Output The only issue I have with this dock is thebpoor quality of the video output from the HDMI port. Even after making BIOs changes, the video is still not as good as going straight from the HDMI port on the laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave M. from In need of a docking that can work with all my extra stuff! Shopping was fairly easy. Because I own an HP laptop, I figured I would start on Amazon and work my way through. Got one from Dell which did not work and the one I had previously completely failed. So I tried HP and they had two. I got the better one. Turned out to be the right one because everything is working as expected. Thank you, HP!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from great way to hide cable connections I love teh HP USB-C G5 dock. It is so nice to have all my cable connections in one place that I can keep off the top of my desk. I only wish it had two HDMI ports but it's easy to use a Display Port adapter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marilyn K from NOT COMPLETE We received the G5 and two monitors which we were happy with. But, in order to set up the G5 with the monitors received, you had to connect them with a hdmi to usb cable, which did not come with the order. We called support, could not get through, so we spoke with someone in the Sales Department, and they did understand what type of cable were needed to set it up. We had to go and buy the cables to set them up. This was an inconvenience since this set up was bought for work purposes. Did not turn out to be a great deal after having to pay for the cables. I guess I do not know why you would sell this as a set and not include everything needed to connect it.
