Docking Station for HP Pavilion and Elitebook

[2Abhijeet]

Hi All,

I'm searching for a docking station for both of my personal and office laptop. Personal laptop is Pavilion - HP Pavilion Laptop 14-bf1xx and Office laptop is HP Elitebook 835 G7 Notebook PC. Could you please suggest me any compatible Docking station that would work with both the laptops?

I came across many docking station on amazon and other portals but I couldn't find the compatible model for these above laptops.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Abhijeet

What is your HP Pavilion Laptop 14-bf1xx ? In my case, I can share ONE docking station which is USB-C Gen 5 (5TW10AA) for my Elitebook 840 Gen 5 and my HP Envy x360 15-ee0047nr. I can also share same dock for my Dell 13-7000 series.

The bottom line is what EXACTLY is your HP Pavilion Laptop 14-bf1xx 

Regards.

Thanks Banhien for you quick response. This Pavilion model might be country specific (India). I'm using this for last couple of years now. 

As per your response what I understand is with USB Type C docking station any type C compatible laptop can work with this HP docking station. 

Please confirm.

Hi BH,

The Pavilion model number is - HP Pavilion - 14-bf177tx. The details can be found here - HP product warranty results HP Pavilion - 14-bf177tx | HP® Customer Support.

I'm simply looking for universal docking station with USB type C connectivity which can be used by all laptops which doesn't have docking pin at back and only support USB-Type C connectivity. 

Thanks,

Abhijeet

From the following information

     https://compareindia.news18.com/specification/laptops/hp-pavilion-14bf177tx/462023

your pavilion does not have USB-C port which support Alt mode and Power Delivery. The only port common for BOTH machines are USB 3.0 ports therefore you have to use USB 3.0 port replicator / dock / hub for your machines.

If you wish to have 2 or more external monitors (and notebook monitor - total 3), please enter your requirement on the following link and it will find for you few USB-A DisplayLink Certified options on market today including some HP products (you can select HP before Search)
