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 I checked HP's web site and found out that the dock had been delivered with out-of-date firmware.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

Let me resubmit my question with the ProdID. My PC's ProdID is 7H3N8UA#ABA The model name is "HP ENVY Laptop 16-h1055c1" So my question is if this Dock works for my laptop PC or not - especially PD works or not.
The HP Envy 16-h1055c10 shows as having a Thunderbolt port. If this is the right model for your PC then your PC will be fully compatible with this HP Dock. The Product ID 7H3N8UA and the model HP ENVY Laptop 16-h1055c1 were not found. However, the HP ENVY Laptop 16-h1055c10 was found and this was assumed to be your laptop PC. Hopefully, this helped and thanks for your question!

I am looking for a Docking station for my HP Zbook Studio 15.6 inch G8, Product ID 4M1L2UT#ABA. What's the difference between this 4J0G4AA#ABA and 3TR87UT#ABA? It seems 3TR87UT#ABA is recommended, but I like G4 with HDMI. Can I use 4J0G4AA#ABA?
