Our verdict

A compact single cable dock for offices that mix notebook brands and want multi monitor desks with IT management built in. Charging output to the notebook is not stated, so check it against a power hungry laptop.

Overview

Shared office desks get one USB-C connection that links a notebook to monitors, accessories and a wired network while charging it. The small dock works with HP and non-HP notebooks that have USB-C or Thunderbolt ports, which suits a mixed fleet.

Buy it for the one cable desk: displays, peripherals, network and charging all arrive through a single plug, and IT gets remote management tools on top. Only a single HDMI port is listed, so check how the other displays connect before planning a multi monitor setup.

Who it's for

An IT team outfitting hot desks for a mixed fleet of notebooks gets central control and one plug per seat. A notebook without USB-C, or a power hungry workstation that needs a published charging rating, calls for a different dock.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • One cable for displays, network and charging
  • Works with non-HP USB-C notebooks
  • Supports up to three displays
  • Small square footprint
Cons
  • Charging wattage to the notebook not stated
  • Only one HDMI port listed
  • Fleet tools focus on HP commercial notebooks
  • Warranty described only as limited

Performance notes

Everything travels over one USB-C link, so display support and charging depend on the notebook's USB-C or Thunderbolt port. Network features such as Wake on LAN and MAC address pass-through work in all power states, which lets IT reach notebooks that are asleep or off.

Frequently asked questions

Is the HP USB-C Dock G5 a Thunderbolt dock?

Will the HP USB-C Dock G5 work with a notebook that has no USB-C port?

The listing describes connection through a single USB-C cable to a USB-C-enabled notebook, so a notebook without USB-C is not covered.

Does the HP USB-C Dock G5 work with Apple notebooks?

HP says it tests compatibility across HP notebooks and Apple, Dell and Lenovo notebooks that have USB-C charging ports.

How does IT manage the HP USB-C Dock G5?

The eTag tool tracks docks by product name, serial number and MAC address, and firmware updates can be pushed to managed notebooks for later install on the dock, even while they are disconnected.
