Great product with some minor design flaws
Fantastic Product that! Works great but some ports are too close together for my cables to connect and I needed to go out and buy different ones. Also the combo cable has some pieces that prevent it from being separated too far but this prevents me from plugging in the power cable and the Thunderbolt 3 at the same time due to the width of my laptop and the ports being on opposite sides.

Versatile docking station that needs work
Purchased this docking station for a HP ZBook work laptop to use at home. Lots of useful devices can be attached. But those devices need to work properly with the docking station. I have two late model HP 24inch monitors at home that are connected to this docking station. They have the annoying habit of going off-line, completely dark and disconnected from the laptop. No amount of clicking the mouse or hitting keys on the keyboard will bring the monitors back online. I have to either remove the laptop from this docking station to be able to continue with my work or shut the laptop down and reboot by holding down the on button on the docking station until the docking station hard shuts down the laptop. This is a ridiculous outcome. No amount of updates from HP have fixed this issue. Its a flawed device. My company's Tech Support warned me now to buy the docking station on my own because of finicky this docking station is in their experience. Shame on HP for putting out such an inconsistent and flawed device that won't even work with their own monitors, HP doesn't off an alternative docking station for my laptop that can support 2 monitors, so I am stuck.

Most Beneficial Addition to your HP Home Office!
Awesome docking station! This paired with the additional speaker is wonderful for linking my new HP Spectre Laptop to 2 monitors. The huge benefit of this dock, it increased my ethernet speed from the router from 400Mbps to 900Mbps just by switching to this docking station. The added speaker turns the docking station to Skype phone, Teams, and Webex conference capable. It was a huge bonus during my online college class!

Beautifully constructed and useless to me
First understand that I really like HP and have purchased their products in the past. Sadly, this experience with HP was mixed at best. My initial delivery date was a few weeks which was fine. Send suddenly became 3 months which is a very long time. Had to go with a competitor who could deliver within a few weeks who even got it to me sooner. The machine I ordered was top-of-the-line very expensive and they have lost out on that order. Now for the good part: when you can get to customer service they are very good. However you will wait on the phone a long time a very long time so be prepared to leave your phone on speaker and go about your business. This last thing is pending and may end up good or bad. I was given the wrong information on my very expensive Thunderbolt dock that made me think I could use it on another brand of computer. Its configuration makes it non-compatible with anything but HP. Now I must get a refund for that as well as the computer. Final bit of good news, the very expensive refund came through quickly and without a problem. I appreciate that. What do we learn from all this? Do not place an order unless you understand how long it really will take to get it. Also understand that if it's a laptop at least right now (as of 2021) you are at the mercy of an HP Factory in China. If they don't have the part you don't get the part and you will have to wait. Ask questions make sure you know what you're doing. But again, as difficult as it was to find when I was able to get a living breathing person on the phone they handle things quickly.

Powerful and easy to use.
With the move to work from home during these pandemic times, I needed a powerful, small docking station that could accommodate my 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse, external drive, and so on. This unit takes up very little space on my desk, and is powerful enough for my ZBook (which I also LOVE!). It accommodates all of my accessories and then some, and was extremely easy to set up. I love it!

Pain to use. The whole top is button, SUCKS. Not a docking station. Makes for a messy desk. You are suppose to change things to make them BETTER not changing for the sake of making a change. Old docking station style good, new docking station style stupid.

Perfect fit for my Zbook
I struggled with some high quality 3rd party thunderbolt docks that couldn't supply my Zbook G5 X360 with enough power on its own without the normal power cord, and frequently needed upgraded drivers and had issues accessing the dock's extra ports. With this, and the combo cable, I plug it in and it's done. Fantastic quality, very happy with this.

Great Dock for Dual Monitor Display Port Setup
For my home office I wanted to have my laptop be able to use dual monitors, therefore I purchased this Thunderbolt dock. I like that this dock has a combo cable that allows the laptop to charge via the power port.

Doesn't work with HP Omen laptop's
Nice looking dock. Upon receiving, immediately opened the package, and set it up. It wouldn't drive the monitors.
Used the HP Virtual Chat. They couldn't get it to work either. Gave me the number to the HP Commercial Support group. They said this dock falls under their Commercial line and the Omen is a Consumer product line.
I called the Commercial Support team. After about half an hour, they gave up and provided the phone number to the Omen Support team.
Another 45-minutes. The Omen Support agent said he would have to escalate the issue.
Three days later, HP gets back with me that they haven't written drivers for the Thunderbolt 230W G2 docks to work with Omen computers, and they don't know if they ever will.
The Support team at least put a note onto my account about the issue so that I could return it and not be "docked" a restocking fee. I received a complete refund.
Each department at least gave me the phone # of other departments and they followed up with me.

Cannot get customer service to call for return
I bought this ahead of receiving a laptop from my company. When the laptop arrived it have one in the box so I would like to return it. Two emails to HP using the return items page and three weeks later still no contact from HP. The dock is great. Customer service very poor.

Pricey but so much better than USB splitters!
I spent more than a year debating whether to buy this dock. It received several negative reviews - so instead I used USB splitters and VGA adapters to run a 3-screen setup and full workstation. I wish I had just purchased this from the beginning. The most important feature is the ability to turn the laptop on and off using the power button on the dock. I do not have to open the lid every time I want to turn it on or off, which was a major pain. I have been using the device for a few weeks and the screen connections are smooth, the USB devices are easy to add / eject, and the internet connection through device is great. All through one combined power/thunderbolt connection (freeing up 3 slots on the laptop itself. No complaints. If you have the money for it and you use a full office setup with your laptop, you need this.

It failed within two weeks
After problems with my previous docking station I was told the expensive one was my only option. It arrived 4 days late after I paid for expedited shipping (which was refunded) and promptly failed within a 2 weeks. Another one is on the way. I'll be honest. The whole experience with the ZBook I bought last fall has been pretty bad.

Thunderbolt Dock - where's the lightning?
Very cool package, very convenient USB-C single cable hookup. Was going to be the cornerstone of my office workflow (multiple locations, multiple docks, one laptop moving between them all). BUT...when you read the fine print...way down in the user manual (that you have to find online)...it will only drive ONE high resolution external monitor???

Perfect upgrade from G1 dock!
Dock has worked flawlessly. I haven't had a single issue with device connectivity after bringing my ZBook out of sleep. Only nit I have is the combo cable coming out of the front of the dock results in some loss of desk space. Overall I am extremely pleased with this upgrade!

OK but cable compatibility problems with new model
Bought as recommended for spectra 360. The power cable and USB thunderbolt cable are joined together and cannot be separated far enough to enter the laptop ports which are on opposite sides of the spectra.. I had to perform modification.

Works Great!
Bought this a couple weeks ago and it is working great. One annoying drawback was that I had to update my new pc's BIOS, the docking station's firmware and install thunderbolt connection manager software straight out of the box in order to get the docking station to work. Wasn't truly plug and play but after those software updates were complete station is functioning perfectly with no issues to date.

Great design, improved reliability
I received this model about a year ago. I had been using the dock that resembled a long ruler which was problematic. This new model has been working great.
The only downside had more to do with HPE shipping delays. I opted for standard shipping expecting 4-5 days. But took over a week to receive.

Lacking network stability
The thunderbolt dock 230W G2 works well when it works. We had several issues with configuration, but eventually got enough drivers, BIOS, and firmware to get it working. Seems to work OK except that the network connection is unstable.

Cannot Drive 3 Displays at Once
I bought this hub to replace my older-model HP Thunderbolt hub which stopped being able to drive 3 displays at once from my G3 Z-Book. The monitors would randomly go blank and flash on and off. Intolerable. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of use the new HP hub has the same problem.

An excellent Dock, the best in market
I've been trying to find a dock with dual display port entry and supported my dual UltraWide 21:9 HD monitors from LG (29UM58-P). This dock is awesome!, my dell laptop works awesome (got rid of my Dell dock). I have one of this docks at work, so when I bring my laptop in order to work from home there are no glitches. I also bought the speaker phone add-on and its the best setup for the home office. Support from the website was amazing, and sales support helped me make the right decision. I think I'm going to continue buying from HP from now on. Thank you

Nice dock
The combo cable seems to be a great idea, in that you connect the USB-C port and the charging port together. The cable is a bit stiff, but hopefully in the long run this stiffness equates to longevity of the cable. The dock is fairly compact, but does have a bit of style to it. You do need to take care with the cables that plug in, as the dock can tip to the back with the weight of the cables if the cables are allowed to be dead weight.
This was installed on a computer on a domain network, and we quickly found out that the first login of the laptop after connecting to this dock needs to be made with an account with administrative privileges that already existed on the laptop. After this first login, several drivers are installed, including I believe the driver for the dock ethernet port.
We got the dock with the audio option, which had to be attached to the dock. There was even a screw driver included to take the original top off and replace it with the audio top. Based on the limited used so far, the audio quality seems to be fine. Just don't expect booming audio from a speaker this size.
Of course, only time will tell how durable the dock is, which it better be at this price point. Over it does seem to be a nice dock.

Not plug-n-play
Great product, great features once you get it going. But do not expect to just hook it up and it to work immediately. If you are computer savvy and like a challenge, get it. Had to do several hours of research and troubleshooting before getting it to work properly every time. You must download several drivers, software, and firmware updates for this unit. Also some Bios settings must be properly selected for this to function correctly. Would be great if HP made some sort of bulletin on how to install all of the necessary settings....

I bought 3, one for myself and two others that have had docking station issues, hoping this newer model would be better, but it is worse. The screens blink badly on all three, and there is no solution for it. Checking online many others have had the same issue and apparently there is no solution.
