What a waste of money and time...
The HP USB-C G5 Dock in combination with a HP Omnibook 5 is ridiculous.
It seems, every time there is a power outage, or disconnect and reconnect the HP Omnibook 5 and HP USB-C G5 Dock have problems.
Just today after a power interruption had to completely power down both. Hard reboot the Omnibook 5 *three* times, holding the power button 30 seconds, and go through the CMOS checksum issue, to finally have it recognize the external screen connected to the USB-C G5 Dock. After all of that, it still did not recognize the Logitech BRIO Webcam. It had to be unplugged and plugged back in. It has the latter issue every single time the Dock is connected to the Omnibook 5.
Was hoping to save time and gain ease by buying an HP USB-C G5 Dock, to use an external Screen, Webcam, Mouse, and Keyboard. Instead it seems all it has done in the month it has been in use is create aggravation.
The experience so far is the absolute and total inverse of the experience with an other major brand that does the same thing flawlessly, and has been for 4 years...

Excellent Port Expander
Great product! Interfaced to HP laptop, two displays, audio speakers and camera/mic with no issues. Operates as I expected when I purchased the device on the HP store website.

Decent value when purchased at a discount
I purchased and am using with a recently new HP Pavilion Plus laptop (16-ab1010nr), for use on my home office desk and primarily for interface to external monitor, ethernet to home network router, and interface to miscellaneous USB connected devices. All interface ports from the dock that I am using are found to work fine and without any problems encountered so far (~1 month time). I have not yet used either of the 2 display port outputs to interface to my external monitor (currently lacking the necessary display port cable), but the HDMI port to external monitor interface works fine. I can't comment on what display resolution and refresh rate are supported, but fine for my current LG monitor and laptop use (I am not a gamer). The dock model that I purchased (HP USB-C Dock G5 (26D32AA)) has only 1 USB-C interface port (in addition to the USB-C cable connection to host laptop), but 4 other USB-A interface ports. It would be a nice improvement if the dock had more than just the 1 USB-C port.

HP USBC G5 DOCK
I sent it back unopened. When I placed my order via HP Chat I was told that there was a promotion if I bought this I would get a computer case for the computer I purchased. That never happened. I contacted HP Customer Service via chat and she opened up a case regarding this issue. I didn't hear back for days so once again I contacted HP Customer Service to find out why and I was told there were no open cases for me. I have all of these chats in my email and I have printed them. I have purchased other computers without issues. This time there was this issue and others. Pretty disappointed.

If you purchase an HP laptop over TV shopping networks, the likelihood of this device working with your laptop is NOT!. I could not find documentation on the HP website on what docking station to connect my HP laptop. I read horror stories of folks trying to return this.

Works great
The dock works great. I love the fact that it also charges the laptop, so there's only one cord to plug in or remove. And the power button on the top of the dock turns the laptop on, which is very convenient. The size and shape can be awkward if space it tight.

It is a piece of garbage. I have downloaded every patch and it still is not working right. Seems if I buy a laptop and a dock from HP they could make sure everything works right. Cannot even use the thing.

The nonfuntional docking station !
Not the universal copck station we had hoped for. Wiht the Laptop we receved the Dock will not connect to the 2nd monitor, the printer or provide power to the laptop. This make it about the same as pluging the devices directly into the Laptop directly which is not helpfull at all.

The rare HP Hardware Nightmare
We’ve used multiple HP USB-C docks with no issues, but the G5 is unfortunately a serious outlier. We purchased nine of them, and nearly all had significant problems—primarily only delivering power but not handling data or video. Yes, just power. Imagine plugging in a dock and watching your monitor stay blank like it's silently judging you.
I want to be clear: we’re long-time HP users. We like HP. We plan to continue purchasing HP laptops, docks, and monitors well into the future. But this model genuinely tested our patience—and our IT department’s will to live.
After digging through forums we finally found a Reddit post that offered a workaround. That fixed the worst of it, but a product like this shouldn’t require sleuthing on social media just to function properly.
Here’s hoping HP addresses this with better firmware, or at the very least, a disclaimer that reads: “Works best after community-sourced black magic

HP G5 USB-C Dock - works as I hoped!
I purchased an ENVY 2 in 1 tablet and needed a high speed hub to quickly connect to my high speed home network and multiple monitors for my work and hobbies. And this gives me the access and quick hook-up I need to go from portable to home PC mode.
I also love the built-in Bluetooth to keep my wireless keyboard, mouse and headphones connected. Finally it has enough USB ports to connect flight and game controllers. It provides good low latency connection for all my devices.

Difficult to get working if intend is to only use external monitors and laptop lid closed.
Dock is okay but getting external monitors configured took me over 1 hour. Connected dock to laptop then monitors to dock and everything works. On reboot everything was blank. My intend was to only use 2 external monitors with lid closed. It finally worked after using hdmi for primary monitor and dp for secondary monitor, closing lid and rebooting. Using this with HP omen gaming laptop.
Also, not sure if this is laptop or dock problem, but with laptop lid closed, the dock cannot capture boot screen messages. For example if you enter bios setup, must open lid and use laptop display.

Sure wish the HDMI port worked
New as delivered HDMI port didn’t work but display port connection did so set it up that way. Used known good HDMI cables and display that worked side by side with old HP system but wouldn’t work either the new dock. Since I had display port cable I just used that as it worked and I didn’t want to wait on a new dock or go through the hassle of warranty exchange.
Would of rated it 5 stars if HDMI port would have worked.

It works perfectly.
G5 dock came on time. It works perfectly with another Thunderbolt device and all the peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard, etc.) The HDMI connection works great because the prior brand docking was not rendering the accurate color saturation. Overall, we are super happy with the purchase.

My HP USB-C Dock G5 is the Best!
This little beauty does everything I want it to in a compact package. I can pull in my beloved MS Natural keyboard, my ancient Deskjet 932c printer, my external hard drive and my external monitor, and everything works well together to give me a real personal computer experience. As my needs change I can add other external devices like a DVD drive.

I really like everything about this dock. The design, build quality and ports. I just wish it had and on/off switch so I didn't have to unplug the USB C cable from my laptop every day after work. It's just unnecessary wear and tear on my laptops USB C port.

Not compatible with HP Pavilion
I intentionally called HP directly to purchase a docking station that would be compatible with my specific laptop, an HP Pavilion. The customer rep sold me this one for $150 insisting that this would work. It is NOT compatible and therefore does not work. Now they're trying to send me a replacement and will not give me a refund.

Great Laptop Dock
I have been using the USB-C Dock G5 for a couple of weeks now and it has been great. I use this on my laptop in place of plugging in a HDMI Monitor Cable, Network USB-C Adaptor and a USB Hub when I am at my desk. What a great improvement. The monitor is at the correct resolution. The network is running at full speed. My USB equipment all works smoothly. Didn't have to load any software. Windows took care of linking the device and everything works that has been plugged in.

Defective product do not recommend
This constantly does not work without unplugging and replugging the dock, or I have to hold the power button down on the laptop, or both. Would have rather bought a generic dock that actually works. To me this is a rip off and an outright defective product that should not be sold. Have to spend the first 15 minutes of each work day fighting with this

Thank you for your interest in the HP USB-C Dock G5. This device is compatible with these operating systems Windows 10; Windows 11; macOS; Chrome OS™, would also need a USB-C port that supports power delivery up to 100w and DisplayPort.
