    Way too expensive for poor quality

    • Problem when using multiple screens

    Docking station is not usable with multiple screens. The GPU cannot handle intensive use, causing the screens to flicker/go black. Way too expensive for what it is!

    A must for working from home with 2+ extra screens (4k)

    • Sturdy
    • Compact
    • A USB3/Thunderbold 4 cable is already connected

    I had bought an expensive other brand for this that did not live up to the number of screens (3 on 4k) and was very slow. The HP G4, on the other hand, delivers on everything and I have not been able to find a single negative point.

    Good dock for a good price

    • Feels solid
    • Full-Fledged Thunderbolt 4 Dock
    • Button only usable on HP laptops

    Works great on my Macbook Pro M2. Took a while to get a second screen working. You need to connect one screen via HDMI/Displayport, and the second via the Thunderbolt/USB-C port (and not via the second Displayport).
