Boost your security, productivity, and connectivity with this Thunderbolt™ 4 dock. It protects your network and devices from the moment you log in, supports multi-OS compatibility[1], and can support up to four 4K displays[2]. Ideal for ITDMs and hybrid workers, this dock also makes home or office device management easy.

The Dock that Protects your Connected Devices.

Feel safe and secure from the moment you log in. The HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock with HP Sure Start[3] prevents hackers from using the dock to attack the network and the attached notebook. Everything connected to this dock is protected and meets full NIST 800-193 requirements.

Expanded Compatibility. Easy Connectivity.

Focus on your work and not your compatibility[1] with a dock that works seamlessly with most notebooks and operating systems. Whether you use Windows®, Mac, or Chrome OS—rigorous testing and certifications ensure that one USB-C® cable[4] connects your device and peripherals without issue.

The Power To Be Productive.

Multitask, create, and collaborate faster with a dock that supports up to four 4K displays through superfast Thunderbolt™ 4 technology[2] and has double the ethernet speed for faster downloads[5]. This dock also delivers up to 230W of power—enough to charge most workstation notebooks.

Device Management Made Easy

Manage your mixed fleet more efficiently with wired Intel® vPro™ support that allows authorized administrators to remotely access and manage vPro™ enabled notebooks using wired connections to make updates. IT Managers can also plan dock firmware updates anytime, even after the user disconnects through a one click installer[6].

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Dock but pricey. Good Dock but pricey, also larger than normal due to higher power output. We also had an issue with ASUS Pro Art Monitors connected to this dock using Display Port to Display Port cables (monitors kept connecting / disconnecting). Display Port to HDMI worked without issues, however this may be a Windows 11 issue and not a hardware issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Better Lucky Than Good from Thunderbolt to the Rescue Some new ENVY laptops require 200 watts of power... This can not be over the USB-C port alone... The Thunderbolt is both a USB-C connection to the laptop and a power supply in one box... It's clean and stores well on the desk... Thank you for the solution HP...

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Still has a few bugs As with the dock that I had previously on the EliteBook from 2018, the connected monitors will turn to black for a few seconds every once in a while. With my old dock, this was eventually fixed with a patch, but it was frustrating that it didn't work out of the box. The new dock has the same issue, which is remarkable to say the least.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DRJ1 from Works for only 1 monitor - very frustrating! Absolutely horrible and frustrating! Advertised as being able to handle 4 separate 4k monitors, but it will only do high resolution on one. I spent hours with my firm's IT department trying to get the resolution to match on 2 HP Z27 monitors and it will not work.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Will23 from Works well *after* a firmware update! Used with an Omen 17. It had several weird issues initially, particularly with USB. They were resolved with a firmware update. There is no automatic update, you must find/download/install them manually. That should be automatic with a new device! After that, however, it has been great. I am not (yet) stressing it with more than one 4K display, but expect to soon. I guess I will need to manually check for updates in the future too since it isn't automatic.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sleepless IT in Seattle from Works great on my Z-Book Works great on my Z-Book. I would give it 5 stars if it that a headphone jack (I had to purchase new USB speakers). The power button on the dock starts the computer every time. In 2 weeks of use, it has been flawless powering 4 HD monitors (one is USB3)

I just purchased the HP ZBook Fury 16 inch G11 Mobile Workstation that uses a 240w adapter. Will this device charge my laptop using a thunderbolt 4 usb c cord or will it require both the Thunderbol 4 usb c cord and a power cord?

For the HP ZBook Fury 16 inch G11 models, it would require both for charging the unit. Thank you for your question.

Can two 4K 60Hz displays be run as extended displays on the two display ports? Or does one of the displays need to be connected to a TB port?

Asked by: Nickzz
Thank you for your question! The HP Thunderbolt Dock 280W G4 will broadcast 4K at 60Hz on two displays using the two DisplayPorts or the HDMI and a DisplayPort. However, in order to broadcast at 60Hz, a Thunderbolt port is required on the host PC. If the host PC only has a USB-C with DisplayPort then it will broadcast at 30Hz.
