Product: ProBook 450 G3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I just got a ProBook 450 G3 for work.  I was sent a docking station that seems to technically be a port replicator - as in it does not actually charge/power the laptop.  (http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/kensington-usb-30-docking-station-with-dual-dvi-hdmi-vga-video-sd3500v

     

I'm used to docking stations where you "click in" but that also doesn't appear to be an option with this laptop.  Are there any true docking stations out there that will allow me to power my laptop as well as connect it to periferals?  

 

Thanks so much!

Elle

No that model has no docking port on the bottom so not compatible with any of the HP "snap-down" true docking stations. 

 

Also has no USB-C so can't charge it that way. I suggest buying an extra AC adapter which you can keep next to the port replicator and come as close as possible to a "docking" experience.
