Works here with the Macbook Pro 14 M1 Pro, but only 1 screen. The second screen must be plugged directly into the Macbook via the HDMI interface.

I was able to do some research and this is indeed a challenge for many Apple users. Apple computers (Macbook, Mac Mini, etc.) do not support MST (Multi Stream Transport), so you either have to use Thunderbolt docking stations or ones with DisplayLink:
Example Thunderbolt dock: https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s1/product/hp-thunderbolt-120-w-g4-dock-thunderbolt-11-ports-dockingstation-usb-hub-21359396
Example DisplayLink dock: https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s1/product/hp-usb-ca-universal-dockingstation-g2-usb-c-dockingstation-usb-hub-11819338
Incidentally, DisplayLink is a software solution and must be operated with software and is not native. The Macbook also has limitations. The following is possible with the Macbook Air 2019 according to Apple:
- Simultaneous support of the full native resolution on the integrated display with millions of colours and:
- An external display with a resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels at up to 60 Hz
- Up to two external displays with a resolution of 4096 x 2304 pixels at up to 60 Hz
For office employees, I recommend the solution with DisplayLink, otherwise Thunderbolt is the better option with the better quality.
We work with daily prices, which can be influenced by various factors such as purchasing conditions, stock levels and supply and demand. You can find more information about this here: https://www.galaxus.ch/de...
Under certain circumstances, a USB-C docking station can also be partially operated with USB-A.
Charging is excluded, however, and the function of the USB-C connection to loop the video signal through the docking without processing is also not possible.
I could test it with a USB-C to USB-A adapter with this dock, but I don't have such an adapter...

The dock supports the full resolution of 5120x1440 via DisplayPort, but only if a maximum of two monitors are connected. With three monitors, the resolution of the first monitor drops below 5120x1440. The HDMI interface is limited to 1920x1080 and does not reach 5120x1440. For the full 5120x1440 resolution on the Odyssey G9, the monitor should be connected directly via USB-C or DisplayPort, ideally with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to ensure the maximum resolution.

Your HP EliteBook 1040 G10 is compatible with the docking station as long as the laptop supports a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, which is common with modern EliteBooks. The docking station supports the connection of up to three monitors simultaneously via two DisplayPort and one HDMI port. You can run different programs on each monitor, as each monitor is recognised as an independent display. The HDMI connection is one of the three available video outputs that you can use.

Both are possible. I use it at home without an Ethernet cable, so only wireless. At work, the cable is plugged in, which of course enables a faster connection.

It is possible to use the dock to duplicate a screen from an HP notebook, but to display the image on an iMac, you would have to use the iMac as an external screen via an appropriate cable, such as an HDMI or DisplayPort cable, if the iMac is configured to operate in screen mode. However, the iMac cannot be used as a standard display without this specific configuration.

The type of docking station you mentioned has two DisplayPort connectors, but the exact version of DisplayPort is not specified. To achieve a refresh rate of 140 Hz, you usually need DisplayPort 1.4 or higher, as DisplayPort 1.2 only supports up to 120 Hz at QHD. So it is important to check the exact DisplayPort version of the dock to make sure it is compatible with your Odyssey G5 display.

The docking station starts automatically when it is supplied with power. There is no need to press a power button manually as it has no such function. The docking station becomes active as soon as it is connected and supplied with power.

The compatibility of the docking station with HP Envy x360 notebooks depends on the specific model number. In general, the HP USB-C Dock G5 is designed for a wide range of HP laptops, including the Envy range. However, there are reports that it does not work with all Envy x360 models. It is advisable to check the specific model number and confirm compatibility directly with HP if necessary.

Hello Roger,
To ensure that your HP Pavilion 15-cc5xx works with a docking station, you should check whether your laptop has a USB-C port with Power Delivery (PD). The HP USB-C Dock G5 is compatible with laptops that have such a port.
The problem with the second screen switching on and off could indicate a connection difficulty or incompatibility between the dock and your laptop. It may be helpful to keep the drivers and firmware up to date and ensure that all cables are connected correctly.
If you continue to have problems, it might be useful to try a different docking station model or contact HP support for specific recommendations for your device.
Automatically generated from the .It should basically be compatible because it is equipped with a USB-C port. The docking station also has an on/off button. But I can't tell you whether you can switch on your MacBook with it. I use it with a Lenovo laptop and am completely satisfied.

The docking station is not explicitly listed for Windows 11, based on the information provided. However, there are indications that the HP USB-C Dock G5 may be compatible with Windows 11, as it is listed as compatible with Windows 11 in other sources. It might be helpful to consult the official HP website for up-to-date information or to keep the drivers up to date.

No, the HP G5 Universal Dock (USB-C, 10 ports) is not designed as a KVM switch. It can only be connected to one computer or laptop at a time. To switch the docking station between a computer and a laptop, the USB-C cable must be pulled from one device to the other.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to experience this, as our laptop has a USB-C port. I would try a USB-C to USB-A adapter, e.g. Pearl ZX-5070-675: (relatively cheap, generally useful in a mixed environment of new and older devices).

Yes, the HP USB-C Dock G5 already contains a USB-C cable that can be used to connect the laptop. This cable is included in the scope of delivery.
