![]() ![]() They make the G4 much easier to recommend, and to a much wider audience.įor those interested in multiple displays, the Dock G4 supports multiple configurations and should meet just about any need. Without an HDMI port, the previous generation versions were somewhat esoteric, almost HP-specific (really, HP commercial PC-specific). These may seem like minor changes, but in my book, they’re fairly profound because of the much broader compatibility. The rest of the ports-two USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports with 7.5 watts of charging power, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one Ethernet port (with support for both 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet), one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 DisplayPort, and one Thunderbolt 4/USB4 port-remain roughly the same (with some USB generational upgrades). Next, where the previous-generation (G2) version of the Dock provided a single full-sized USB-A 3.0 port on one side, the G4 version provides two full-sized USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 charging ports (with 5 Gbps of data transfer speed), one on each side.įinally, HP has replaced the VGA port on the back with a much more useful HDMI 2.0 port. And the port selection has changed for the better. First, HP has dispensed with the top-mounted expansion capability, which only accommodated a single add-on, a mono speaker for conference calls. If you’re familiar with previous generation HP Thunderbolt Docks, there are three obvious changes this time around. ![]() It’s designed to sit on your desk within reach, and while most of the ports are available on the back, HP places a single USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port (with 10 Gbps of data transfer speed) on the front. Like its predecessors, the HP Thunderbolt Dock G4-for 4th-generation, though I believe this is, in fact, the third generation-is a squat and heavy little black cylinder, resembling a sort of a one-third height Amazon Echo. And the second of the two models uses two cables to deliver 230 watts of power to compatible high-end HP notebooks and portable workstations. ![]() It doesn’t look all that different from previous generation versions, but there’s an updated port selection. The HP Thunderbolt Dock now comes in two models and works with Windows 10 and 11 PCs, Macs, Linux, and Chromebooks. ![]()
