![]() ![]() After many permutations with/without dock, with/without perriferals, using generic USB hub expanders I realized that the ONLY way the laptop behaved as it should was WITHOUT THIS DOCK! I now use a USB2 and an USBC hub expander and take the video to my outboard monitors (via Matrox DualHead box) from the laptop Display Port output. I ended up opening a case for the laptop Zbook G6 thinking it was a problem with laptop. I mailed the HP sales rep who sold me system to ask for his help in getting to someone who could assist, no response. I called twice to get help with unit - NO ONE that I spoke to knew anything about how to debug it, other than to update the bios and drivers, which I did. With this dock powering my laptop, I had boot failures at least 60% of time. If laptop goes to sleep, 50% of time the outboard monitors won't come back up and you need to reboot. The Monitor Port outputs to outboard screens come on and off at random. ZERO stars should be an option This product is hugely problematic! First, VGA output is not true VGA, any device seeing it that needs VGA sees it as Monitor Port, and many devices won't accept it. Would I recommend this product to a friend? I wouldn't even recommend it to an enemy. You push your laptop against it, it connects and locks, and all devices are connected. The dock has 2 DVI ports, 1 VGA port, and 0 HDMI port. ![]() The dock only has 3 USB connectors which don't guarantee the device connected will be detected by the laptop. So, if you have to connect a USB wire to the dock, you have to handle it like a bomb that would defuse with the slightest touch. The entirety of the top of the device is a large sensitive button to turn on and off. The power and Thunderbolt cable that comes out of the device is extremely loose- loses connection if you move the laptop or the dock even by a centimeter. The connector cable is a cable from hell.
