The HP Thunderbolt Dock now comes in two models and works with Windows 10 and 11 PCs, Macs, Linux, and Chromebooks. It doesn’t look all that different from previous generation versions, but there’s an updated port selection. 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.
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. 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.
