HP 17-CP0321NWFHD and port replicator

[Marcinnelli]

Hi,

I'm planning to buy notebook 17-CP0321NWFHD and I'm wondering if I can connect port replicator/ docking station to this notebook, for example:

HP USB-C Dock G43 FF69AA

or 

HP Y4H06AA#ABB

I think it will work just fine but I don't have any experience with docking stations/port replicators.

Thank you in advance for feedback 😊

Its USB-C port is hopeless.  It ONLY has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

• Charge your machine,
• Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use

• Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
• Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

For more connectivity, please use

                         True Universal Docking Stations

Regards.

All right, thank you for reply.

So, in case if I want to use 2 external monitors and put the notebook on the side, I can use build-in HDMI port and USB-A to HDMI adapter, as you said.

Then, to have other connections (LAN, speakers, keyboard, mouse, pendrive) can I use mentioned port replicator/ docking station? 

As there is many USB-C docking stations/ port replicators on the market, is it up to the laptop port if those devices can be used?

Thanks in advance for reply.
