HP USB-C Dock G5 Review

The HP USB-C Dock G5 is a budget enterprise USB-C dock with 8 ports, dual DisplayPort plus HDMI outputs, and 65W charging, built for large Windows fleet deployments rather than Thunderbolt speed.

HP sells this dock in volume to IT departments outfitting hundreds of desks at once, so it prioritizes predictable driver support and a low per-unit cost over Thunderbolt bandwidth. The dual DisplayPort output covers most corporate monitor setups, and 65W charging is plenty for the thin-and-light business laptops HP itself sells alongside it. It's not exciting hardware, but it's exactly what a procurement spreadsheet wants.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the catalog's HP Thunderbolt Dock G4, the G4 is HP's premium sibling with full Thunderbolt 4 bandwidth and 120W charging for power users, while the G5 undercuts it on price for standard office laptops that don't need that headroom. Against the Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock, Lenovo's dock is brand-locked to ThinkPad ergonomics and Thunderbolt speed, whereas the HP G5 works across any USB-C Windows laptop at a lower fleet cost.
