Expanding my Spectre 3 fold.
This G-5 Dock turned my HP Spectre x360 into an amazing machine with 3 monitors. It looks stealth sitting in the middle of my desk, unassuming, but ready for more plug ins.

usb-c docking stations (bad idea)
i think HP getting away from the true docking stations was a terrible idea.

HP USB-C G-5 Docking Station - Buyer Beware
The G5 docking station does not charge my laptop. The laptop must be plugged in separately. Additionally when connected to multiple monitors, one screen goes black at least once per minute sometimes every 20 seconds. other than these 2 flaws, it works good. Before purchasing, please Google "HP USB-C G5 Docking Station problems"

Wish I knew then what I know now.
Gezzz, I wish I knew this then. Transforms a work station laptop into an actual workstation; triple the efficiency, and I’m barely using it so far.

No Issues
The fastest setup ever - just needed to plug in the power cord and then the devices.

Works great with MacBook Air
The G5 is a replacement for a more portable docking device for my MacBook Air, which tended to overheat when operating an external disc drive. With the G5 I found I really don’t need the portability, it stays on my desk with accessories connected. An added benefit is my external speakers sound much better through the docking system, so high marks for the DAC in the G5!

Works fine after some initial incorrect setup error messages.
Easy setup - but I received some error messages during the setup of the new laptop the docking station was hooked up to. One was for the insufficient power, which is clearly wrong as the computer power need is on 75% of the dock output, and the second was for my mouse which was not even connected yet.

So so
Is it a new product I got? I runs good, only thing is when i move the mouse or type to bring the laptop back from sleeping, it doesn’t wake it up, whereas the same product from my job office works when i attach the same laptop.

Enables quick moves between home and office
Number of ports is good and the types of video and USB are what I needed. This is great for quickly moving between work at the office and home. Unplug one cable and ready to move.

Partially works as desired
Although I bought my notebook and the dock at the same time, I don't think the notebook and dock are fully compatible. The USB ports work for an attached keyboard and mouse. The network port works. However, it does not charge the notebook and the HDMI connected monitor does not project. The HDMI port on the notbook projects to the monito but the dock HDMI does not. I sp...

Happy customer
I had a laptop. I used a cheap docking station and the screen kept flickering. I upgraded to this model, and it works perfectly. No flickering screens.

Lacking plug-n-play options
USB-C charging & HDMI not working yet. Can’t get answer if they are even compatible with other and they were suggested. USBs & sound are OK.
