This is a conditional review. When the G4 arrived, it did not work properly out of the box. Several days of frustration attempting to understand what was wrong connecting this to my HP Fury G8 17” and two standalone monitors was very frustrating as the monitors would not display, my G8 continued to go into sleep mode despite my settings and the connected SSD’s would not...

Major issues with the docking station.
I am having a lot of trouble with the docking station. Something is not working right with the communication with the docking station and the computer. All of the external items are dropping out. At this point the docking station is only good for power.

Paul's HP Thunderbolt Dock 280W G4 w/Combo Cable Review
Every time I plug the Ethernet cable into it I lose internet connection, but as soon as I connect direct to the laptop, I'm back online. I didn't spend all this money to have to connect to the laptop. That's why I bought the docking station. So just the laptop to the docking station and done. Nothing else has been an issue. Just have been too busy to contact HP.

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.

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 I checked HP's web site and found out that the dock had been delivered with out-of-date firmware.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 u...

Another Excellent HP Product !
It has been years since I used a docking station and they have come a long way to todays product, which can handle 12 connections. The HP Thunderbolt Dock 280W G4 w/Combo Cable has operated without any problems and is far superior to any thing used prior to this. The thing I like most is the fact that all devices related to my computer connect to the dock directly and o...

Good Dock but pricey.
Good Dock but pricey, also larger than normal due to higher power output. 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.

Thought it was great.
Great at the beginning and now can't get it to power on. Plus can't find any help or support on the hp site.

Terrible product
After 9 - 12 months, these things fail. I've had 4 of them in 3 years.

HP Thunderbolt Dock 280W G4 - shorts monitors
Thunderbolt was defective, and it caused my two HP 24es monitors to short-black out seconds at a time. It could be better when presenting and you can't see the screen. The good news is that HP sent a replacement unit for me to try. Post-service support was excellent. Will report back if this new unit fails.

This isn't your grandad's docking station
We use these almost exclusively at the VA where I live. It supports up to 3 monitors and has a plethora of USB ports, including one USB-C. For video out it has two display link ports and one HDMI port. In order to use more than one monitor, just install the HP Displaylink drivers. In the event that you are rough on the docking station cable that connects to your compute...
