The main difference between the "G5 Essential Dock (USB-C)" and the "normal" HP USB-C Dock G5 lies in beberapa key aspects: ## Compatibility and performance - Both docks are compatible with USB-C® and Thunderbolt™-enabled laptops, but the normal HP USB-C Dock G5 has a higher performance, especially when supporting multiple monitors. The regular G5 Dock can connect up to three displays, while the G5 Essential Dock may support fewer displays, especially when it comes to higher resolutions. ## Power Delivery - The regular HP USB-C Dock G5 offers a higher power delivery of up to 100W via USB-C®, while the specific power delivery profiles of the G5 Essential Dock are not explicitly mentioned. However, it is likely to offer similar but possibly lower Power Delivery options. ## Connectors and ports - The regular HP USB-C Dock G5 has a more extensive number of ports, including two DisplayPort™ ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, multiple USB 3.0 ports and an RJ45 network port. The G5 Essential Dock may have fewer ports, making it less versatile. ## Additional functions - The normal G5 Dock offers additional functions such as Wake-on-LAN, MAC Address Pass-Through and advanced network manageability features that may not be available in the G5 Essential Dock. Overall, the normal HP USB-C Dock G5 offers higher performance, more ports and additional functions compared to the G5 Essential Dock.

What is the difference between Essential and Universal? I have a newer HP Omen with Windows 11. What works and what are the differences?

I have installed the docking station, but nothing works. I bought it from digitec as "used" and wonder if it has a defect or if it is not compatible with my HP Elitebook 855 G7 . This Elitebook has a USB C interface and therefore I think it should work, can anyone give any information ? Thank you very much !

Try installing the firmware from the HP support page. It has power, but does anything light up? There are G5 and G5 Essential important for the firmware.

Hello everyone I would like to connect two monitors to a docking station from HP HP G5 Universal Dock what type of cable do I need from the docking station to the monitors. Thanks for the help

As listed in the technical description, the docking station has the following connections: DisplayPort (2x), HDMI (1x). What you need then depends on your screens, but I would always go for the 2 display ports.

Hi I would like to connect an HP and a Lenovo laptop (not at the same time) with two monitors. Does this also work when the lid of the computer is closed? It may seem strange, but the laptop should not switch off when I close it. Does this work with this docking station? Thank you

Yes, it works, but you have to specify in the energy settings that the computer does not shut down or go into sleep mode when the laptop is closed.

Basically, it is compatible. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the power output of the dock. The smallest has 65W. I had the problem that it only recognised one external screen (MBP Pro M2Pro)

Good evening, I have just received the G5 essential docking station, but although I have connected it to my asus vivobook k513c, it does not work. Should I have taken the G5 Universal? If so, do I need to change the case or just buy a usb À adapter? The asus laptop has a usb-C port. Thank you for your help

I think it has to do with the following, which is stated on the HP homepage: G5 Essential is compatible with "Thunderbolt™-enabled PCs"

The G5 has a USB C port, which must be plugged into the notebook. If the Huawei Matebook Pro X has one, I don't see any problems with compatibility.

Is the charging power via USB C now 120W as suggested in the title or 65W as stated in the description under Power supply: Charging power?

Gabriel Jenny

65W of power can be transferred via USB-C. In this case, 120W refers to the total output of the docking station's power supply unit.

Does a 165Hz monitor also transmit 165Hz or is this not possible?

walkerit

1 year ago

It depends on whether your notebook can output 165 MHz via USB-C. The dock uses the USB-C Alt mode. (i.e. Displayport via USB-C)

I have a normal computer at home. Now I have a laptop from the shop. We all have such docking stations in the shop. I now want to connect all the components, screens, keyboard, mouse etc. at home to the docking station so that I can either connect the computer to everything or the business laptop. However, when I connect the Dokingstation to the PC, nothing works at all. Can anyone help me?

I use the DockingStation with 3 screens. Connecting a screen with HDMI changes the resolution and display of various programmes. If I unplug this screen before starting the notebook, start everything up and then plug it in again, the resolutions and displays suddenly match again. Does anyone here have an explanation?

walkerit

1 year ago

The dock uses the USB Alt mode (basically DisplayPort via USB) with 3 screens with HD resolution or higher, the USB bandwidth is no longer sufficient for USB 3 and the controller must be "reduced" to USB 2. This only works with a restart. On some HP notebooks, you can activate a mode in the BIOS that reduces the USB speed to USB 2.0 in USB Alt mode. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06575423
