Sorry if I sound a bit clueless, but I’m really not very technical. I’m looking for a good docking station for my laptop to connect it to an ultrawide monitor. The issue is that the screen has a resolution of 3840 x 1440 pixels, and I also want to connect an additional monitor, while using several Samsung SSDs through the docking station as well. Is all of that even possible? The specs of my laptop say I have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port that supports display output and has a data speed of up to 10Gbps. I also have two USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C ports that support displays and data speeds of up to 40Gbps. But can I actually connect my laptop to a docking station, connect two external monitors through the docking station, and edit from the Samsung drives? Isn’t that too much information to pass through one cable?
Hello folks. Quick question: Im using an HP Elitebook 840 G8 and I'm looking for a Dock and this HP G5 sounds good, however do you know if this supports 3 external FHD screens at the same time? I'm asking because I have an old dock for my Lenovo and only one at a time is allowed to be used, even if I have both connected at the same time.
I have an HP Elitebook 830 G7 for personal use and 840 G7 for work. This dock (HP G5 ) works great on both of these computers as well as my Steam Deck, Chromebook and iPad. HOWEVER, to answer your question, the dock has 2 display ports and 1 HDMI port for a total of 3. Regardless of which ports I use I cannot get the 3rd one to output to a 3rd monitor. That said, the Elitebooks I have BOTH have a second thunderbolt USB port in them and you can also get a super cheap USBc to HDMI for that 2nd port on the elitebook and output to the 3rd monitor that way. the video out MUST come from this 2nd port, if you try the HDMI port on the Elitebook AND the dock, it will not work. Believe me I have tried it. I hope this is helpful. Best of luck.
I purchased a CALDIGIT T3 last year about this same time time frame that crapped on me. I just went into my studio after non use for the past 4 months to find the unit unresponsive and no power. I actually attempted to contact CALDIGIT support to no avail. This is a piece of crap. stop promoting bs that you don't utilize or purchase yourself.

Any thoughts on the Anker vs HP. For travel leaning towards HP but Anker seems better more well rounded and not big
Is there a dockingstation which can handle 1x4K@120Hz Monitor and 1x4K@60Hz Monitor at the same time?
the new Benq docking station
@@Grafter83 whats the model name?
Is Sonnet Echo 20 better then this CalDigit TS4??

You are correct it is a limitation. The capacity is limited to your port on your laptop. Thunderbolt 5 will limit the bottlenecks.
@christophery8927 thanks
So I have 2 pc’s (laptop and desktop), is the anker 575 the only option?

@@axllebeer Thank you very much!
You need to learn the difference between a hub and a docking station.
