Yes the 840 G6 has the "docking connector" used with the Ultraslim Dock. It clips in from the side of the laptop and provides true docking with power supply and everything coming in from the dock. It provides all of the ports you could want: DP (not HDMI), USB 3.0, ethernet. Some versions of the 840 G6 have a Thunderbolt type USB-C port which also provides charging and will allow for a wide range of port replication. I believe the Thunderbolt port option will give a bit more bandwidth for external monitors. However, the HP Ultraslim is widely available and has been around so long you can pick one up very inexpensively. We are using one in my office for one of my employees on a Zbook 15u G4 and I think I paid about $50 for it used on eBay, so you do not have to pay $265 for it. 

See item 6 on p. 8 of the Manual here:

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed. 

So this is a question regarding a docking statiion D9Y32AA#ABA and the ports on it for an HP EliteBook 840 G6

My Question is will these HDMI ports on the slimline support 4K HDMI.  Huffer stated "it provides all of the ports you could want: DP (not HDMI),  so I think it may not. 

Hoping someone will know the answer.  If it does not I would like to know which docking station would an affordable good choice. 

Thanks in advance.

I can't find HDMI port on the dock:

               https://www.connection.com/product/hp-2013-ultraslim-dock/d9y32aa-aba/16336561

It has 2 DP 1.2 ports which support 4K monitors. If you wish to use HDMI port on monitor, you monitor must support HDMI 2.0 and you need DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter. I believe you can only get 30Hz.
