    Rated 2 out of 5 by Georgia accountant from 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"

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Will Mac from 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!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by Noanker188 from 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.

    How do I confirm if the docking station is "on"? I connected my laptop to the station but the docking station is not charging the laptop, the mouse is not working either. I've pressed the power button on top of the docking station but nothing is working.

    Asked by: Docking Station power
    Not all laptops with USB-C ports are compatible with Docks. Does your laptop have a USB-C port with PowerDelivery and DisplayPort? To answer your question, Docks are always on when they are plugged into an AC outlet, so it may very well be that the laptop doesn't have the proper port. If the Dock has worked in the past please contact HP Technical Support for assistance at this link: https://support.hp.com/us-en
