Universal Dock G2 with Notebook Pavilion?

[Samudio]

Is docking station HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2 compatible with notebook HP Pavilion 15-cs 3153 ng? Thank you.

You have a data only USB-C port so the dock would work in legacy USB mode not as a Thunderbolt or alt-DP device. It will allow connection of external monitors however.

Thank you. Not sure about what Thunderbolt, and Alt-DP are, but what I want to connect are simple things like a standard mouse, headset, keyboard and indeed two monitors. The latter have all sorts of slots like HDMI, DP, U'SB-A. As the G2 has two DP slots if I see this correctly, I could use these ore one DP and one HDMI. Would all of these things be possible to connect to my Pavilion?

Thunderbolt and Alt-DP are advanced features of USB-C not found on all USB-C ports and among other things means the output from the USB-C port includes a native video signal it is very easy to use externally. The G2 dock also has DisplayLink which is a chip used for translating ordinary usb connection to video. Slower than Alt-DP but still functional. I know you can get a VGA and an HDMI connection via DisplayLink and there may be a converter that allows use of the DP ports. I just know the dock will work for the regular stuff like mouse, keyboard and ethernet and also allows usually up to 2 external monitors.
