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 I checked HP's web site and found out that the dock had been delivered with out-of-date firmware.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

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.

cable has 2 connectors. I need to extend them. Is one a usb c? And the other is what?
The combo is Thunderbolt and an AC barrel connection that is for the power supply of the unit. You would not want to try to extend those as that could cause potential issues. The better option would be to extend the outputs which may cause minor delay or some visual quality loss.
