The HP USB-C Dock G5 is available at Mascom International for KSh 12,000, brand new and sealed, with two DisplayPort outputs, one HDMI 2.0 port, four USB 3.0 ports, an RJ45 Ethernet port and a 3.5mm audio jack. A single USB-C cable from the HP USB-C Dock G5 carries data, video and up to 100W of charging to your laptop. The dock measures 12.2 by 12.2 cm and weighs 0.75 kg, small enough to sit beside a monitor stand. You can see it working at our shop in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for accountants, lawyers, sales teams and university students across Kenya, the HP USB-C Dock G5 solves the daily cable shuffle. Many modern laptops carry only two or three ports, which is not enough for a monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer and network cable at once. Plug one USB-C lead into the HP USB-C Dock G5 and every one of those devices connects in seconds, while the laptop charges. Office workers in Upper Hill and Westlands who hot-desk can walk in, connect, and start working on two external screens without crawling under the desk for cables.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded USB-C hubs that run hot and drop displays, Mascom International stocks HP's own business dock. It is built for HP laptops yet listed as compatible with MacBook and other USB-C laptops on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS and Chrome OS. Customers across Nairobi tell us the HP USB-C Dock G5 ends the morning ritual of plugging in five separate cables. Buyers who want built-in wireless or Thunderbolt can compare it with the HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock and the HP Thunderbolt Dock G4 in our store. Visit us on Kimathi Street or order with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the HP USB-C Dock G5
How much is the HP USB-C Dock G5 in Kenya?
The HP USB-C Dock G5 costs KSh 12,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD as a factory-sealed unit. That price covers the dock with its AC adapter and power cord, a 6-month Mascom International warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. It sits KSh 17,500 below the HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock and KSh 22,000 below the HP Thunderbolt Dock G4. That makes it the sensible pick for buyers who need the core desk ports without wireless extras or Thunderbolt speed.
Will the HP USB-C Dock G5 work with a MacBook or a non-HP laptop?
Yes, HP lists the HP USB-C Dock G5 as compatible with HP laptops, MacBook computers and other USB-C laptops running Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS or Chrome OS. The deciding factor is your laptop's USB-C port. For screens to work, the port must carry video, often marked with a DisplayPort or Thunderbolt symbol. For charging, it must accept USB-C power delivery. Many Dell, Lenovo and ASUS models carry such ports, but features vary by model. Send your laptop model to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you pay.
How many monitors can the HP USB-C Dock G5 run?
The HP USB-C Dock G5 has three video outputs: two DisplayPort ports and one HDMI 2.0 port. How many of them light up together depends on your laptop's graphics chip and USB-C port, not the dock alone. Laptops whose port supports several display streams can drive more than one screen, while others stay at one. Accountants who keep a spreadsheet on one monitor and email on another gain the most. Bring your laptop to our Kimathi Street shop and we will connect it to monitors so you see the result before buying.
Does the HP USB-C Dock G5 charge a laptop while it is connected?
Yes, the HP USB-C Dock G5 delivers up to 100W of power to your laptop through the same USB-C cable that carries data and video. HP lists power delivery profiles from 5V up to 20V at 5A, enough for laptops whose own chargers are rated at 100W or less. You can leave the original laptop charger in your bag for travel. The four USB 3.0 ports are charging ports too, so a phone can top up beside the keyboard during a long day at the office.
Should I buy the HP USB-C Dock G5 or the HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock?
Choose the HP USB-C Dock G5 for dependable core ports at KSh 12,000, and the HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock for built-in wireless and extra USB-C sockets at KSh 29,500. The G5 has four USB 3.0 ports against three on the G6. The G6 adds two downstream USB-C ports, integrated WLAN and Bluetooth, RGB status lights, a jet black finish and stated support up to 4K. Both carry two DisplayPort, one HDMI and RJ45. For a typical office desk, the G5 does the job for KSh 17,500 less.
Is the HP USB-C Dock G5 affected by KPLC power cuts?
The HP USB-C Dock G5 runs on mains power from its AC adapter, so during a KPLC outage it stops charging the laptop and powering USB devices. Your laptop keeps running on its own battery, so the document you are working on stays open. Offices that see frequent cuts should plug the dock and monitors into a UPS. The RJ45 port is worth using as well: a wired link to your Safaricom or Zuku fibre router is steadier than Wi-Fi in a crowded office block.
Who should buy the HP USB-C Dock G5, and who should skip it?
The HP USB-C Dock G5 is right for office workers, students and small businesses whose laptop has a USB-C port with video and charging support. Skip it if your laptop only has USB-A ports or a USB-C port limited to data, because the screens and charging will not work. Skip it too if you edit 4K video or move large files daily on a Thunderbolt 4 laptop. The HP Thunderbolt Dock G4, at KSh 34,000 in our store, is the better fit for that work.
Can a team share one HP USB-C Dock G5 on a hot desk?
Yes, the HP USB-C Dock G5 suits shared desks because each person connects only one USB-C cable to reach the monitors, keyboard, mouse and network. HP designed it for mixed PC environments, so a staff member with an HP EliteBook and another with a MacBook can use the same desk on different days. The side lock slot lets you secure the dock to the desk with a standard cable lock. Co-working spaces and NGO offices in Kilimani can equip one desk this way instead of buying a full kit per person.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Ports
- Two DisplayPort outputs on the back — connect a pair of desk monitors for spreadsheets on one screen and email or browser tabs on the other.
- One HDMI 2.0 port on the back — links a TV, projector or third monitor in a meeting room, classroom or home office.
- Four USB 3.0 charging ports, two on the side and two at the back — enough for keyboard, mouse, printer and flash drive together.
- One RJ45 Ethernet port — a wired network link to your office switch or home fibre router, steadier than a shared wireless signal.
- One 3.5mm combo audio jack on the side — plug in a headset with a microphone for Teams, Zoom or Google Meet calls.
- Three video outputs in total — two DisplayPort and one HDMI, with the number of active screens set by your laptop.
- USB-C host cable — one lead from the dock to your laptop carries power, display signals, network traffic and USB data together.
Compatibility and Power Delivery
- Up to 100W power delivery to the laptop — covers laptops that ship with chargers rated at or below that figure.
- USB-C power delivery profiles of 5V, 9V, 10V, 12V, 15V and 20V at up to 5A — the dock matches the voltage your laptop asks for.
- Windows 10 and Windows 11 support — covers the Windows versions running on current business laptops from HP and other makers.
- macOS support — MacBook owners can connect monitors, network and accessories through the same single cable as Windows colleagues.
- Chrome OS support — Chromebooks with a USB-C port that carries video can use the dock for screens and accessories too.
- DisplayPort Alt Mode needed for screens — this is the feature that lets a USB-C port send a picture to a monitor.
- USB-C power delivery needed for charging — the laptop port must accept power, not only data, for the 100W feature to work.
Build and Design
- Compact 12.2 x 12.2 x 4.5 cm square body — a little larger than a drinks coaster, so it fits behind a laptop stand.
- 0.75 kg weight — heavy enough to stay put when cables tug, yet light enough to carry between offices in a laptop bag.
- Ports split across the side and back — permanent cables sit at the back, while USB and audio stay within reach at the side.
- Side lock slot — attach a standard laptop cable lock to secure the dock on shared, open-plan or reception desks.
- Black finish — blends in with the monitors, keyboards and laptop stands found on most business desks.
- Mixed-fleet design — HP built the dock for offices that run HP, Mac and other laptop brands side by side.
- Package weight of 1.49 kg — the boxed unit with adapter and cord, a useful figure when sending one to a branch office.
Inclusions and Setup
- HP USB-C Dock G5 unit — the dock itself with its USB-C host cable, sealed in HP retail packaging.
- AC adapter and AC power cord — the dock draws its own mains power so it can charge your laptop and run accessories.
- Quick start guide — shows which cable goes where, so first-time setup takes a few minutes rather than an afternoon.
- Product notices and HP documentation — the safety and regulatory paperwork HP packs with every unit.
- Monitor, HDMI and DisplayPort cables not included — reuse the leads that came with your screens or ask us about matching cables.
