    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.

    The HP G5 Essentials dock shows up as a "billboard" device on my Dell Inspiron 7630 2-in-1 laptop. When I press the power button it does *not* "wake" the laptop when shut down; when the laptop is on; pressing the power button puts it to sleep though.

    Asked by: Minimalist
    Thank you for your question! The Power button to turn on or wake the system only functions on HP or HP-supported notebooks. PXE Boot functionality will depend on whether the host systems firmware has the EFI driver available. Connected firmware updates require an internet connection and your docking station is not useable while updating.

    Hello. Thanks for your question. Your HP Laptop 15-dy5073dx has a USB Type-C port that supports data transfer only and does not support charging or external monitors.
