Review on πŸ’» HP USB-C Dock G5 (Model Number 5TW10UT#ABA): Versatile Connectivity and Enhanced Productivity by David Sanchez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This document. It just works!

I recently bought an HP Envy x360, my first laptop upgrade in a very long time, and since we implemented a work from home policy I needed the ability to connect to multiple monitors and an Ethernet connection (surprise, this laptop doesn't have an ethernet port!) so after some research I settled on this docking station. This docking station just works without installing drivers or hassles. And that on both Windows 10 and Fedora 31 Linux. I had Windows until I fully configured it for my regular workflow and I have to say it works perfectly on both platforms. The USB Type-C connection to the laptop provides connectivity as well as charging the laptop, which is fantastic. The monitor support works great on some of my monitors, the USB connection to these ports is fast and I don't see any difference in performance that would matter to my workflow. In addition, the Ethernet connection is of course stable and reliable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a laptop it's compatible with, which most Windows/Linux devices with a USB Type-C 3.0+/Thunderbolt port should be. Harbor. However, cannot talk to macOS or Chrome OS.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • The list will be long.
