Product: HP EliteBook 8760w

Hello, can anyone help me find a functioning dock for my EliteBook 8760w. I was hoping to get the 230w g2 dock but the charging cable (usbc+4.5mm combo) threw me off. Any suggestions whether I should/could use adapters to make it work with the g2 or just find and alternative. Thanks

It's a bit of an older machine and would use the original HP 230W dock or 230W advanced dock or a USB 2.0 dock which I do not recommend. 

 

This is a true old school snap down dock. I found lots of them on eBay and they are very inexpensive:

This has a bunch of older legacy ports like eSATA and USB 2.0. The G2 dock is a much newer piece of hardware and you could only make it function to a very limited extent by using a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Video would not work, for example.
