    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.

    i have 2 docking stations and trying to find out the difference, for home use. Thunderbolt dock p/n 2uk37ut#aba and Essential dock p/n 78L94aa#aba

    Asked by: Ian B
    Hello Ian, the Thunderbolt Dock is designed for laptops with Thunderbolt Ports whereas the USB-C Essential Dock is designed for laptops with USB-C ports with Display Port and Power Delivery. As Thunderbolt transfers data at a much higher speed, if your laptop has a Thunderbolt port using a Thunderbolt Dock with it is highly recommended.
