Hello Greenhorn, so here's the thing: The nameplate says the following: Input = 19.5V with 6.15A. In purely mathematical terms, this results in a value of 119.925Watts.... However, I am not an electrician and have compiled this information from internet research and the information I have read from the dock. HP gives the active power as 100Watts. You can find that by typing the part number 5YH40AV#AB0 into Google.
Anyway, I hope that helps you.

Should work with the button on top of the docking station
If you want to use the same keyboard, mouse and displays for both, you'll need a KVM switch. Then you can connect the HP G2 Dock to one channel of the KVM switch and your desktop to the other. Then connect your work laptop with the dock and this is a fine setup which i use at home too. And the HP G2 Universal Dock works fine with any notebook i've ever tested with. Right now i use even a MacBook with it...seamless...

The docking station is compatible with Windows, including Windows 11, and should work automatically, but it may be necessary to install the latest drivers to ensure the best performance.

To minimise cable clutter, the docking station you are considering could be a good option. It offers connections for displays via DisplayPort and HDMI, which makes it possible to connect the two screens. However, it's important to note that macOS may have issues with supporting multi-stream technology (MST), which could limit viewing on multiple monitors via DisplayPort.
The docking station supports Mac OS, which means that it is basically compatible with your MacBook M3. It also offers a USB-C connection, which could be suitable for powering the MacBook, depending on the maximum power consumption of the device.
Alternatives could be other docking stations specifically designed to support macOS and MST for better compatibility with multiple monitors.

Hello, we have several and have always had CH plugs. If you get Schuko, you can report it to Galaxus and they will send you the CH version free of charge.
Yes, with the DisplayLink software, it works well!
Hi, when you say hub, do you mean a docking station?
Then this would be right for an HP laptop. Otherwise, use a universal docking station.

I use this docking station with various Mac Book Pros (Intel and M processors) and work with two monitors via Display Link. Works perfectly.
Sorry, no linux installed on the laptop I attached to it

Install DisplayLink on the Mac.
USB-C is the physical connection and Thunderbolt is a protocol that comes from Intel. Basically, it makes absolutely no difference whether USB-C or Thunderbolt, as both are compatible with each other. The important thing is that the bandwidth is the same in comparison. I would otherwise recommend the following article: HP G2 Thunderbolt

No guarantee for "full", but I had a previous model and the G2 & G5 were able to connect the notebook to two monitors. 2x Ultra-Wide probably not, 1x Ultra-Wide and 1x normal should work.

Charging via USB docking only works if the notebook is prepared for this or has a Thunderbolt connection. A 2013 model has at most a USB2 installed, which does not support the desired functions. Maybe it's time for a modern notebook !!! ;-)
I buy the G2 when I connect larger screens >27 inches. Only then is the picture quality good enough, as the G2 is designed for 4K
I use it with my MacBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Wacom Cintiq without any problems.

Hello, I use a 3440 * 1440 screen in 60 Hz as well as a UHD screen (3840 x 2160) in 60 Hz without any problem.
The Samsung Odyssey G9 uses 5120 x 1440 up to 240 Hz, which is probably not supported by this dock. You'd be better off buying a thunderbolt 4 dock.
I have my private laptop on the docking station. Everything works perfectly there. From my point of view, both devices should work for you. Is the private computer or the business laptop not working? Or not both?

My dock is very quiet. The fan only comes on very rarely. However, we also have the same docks in the office where there are individual devices where the fan runs almost permanently. So far, no one has been able to tell me what the problem is.
I was able to update the driver with my Windows PC. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Apple devices. But I assume that you can update your dock with a Windows device.
Yes the dock comes with its own power supply.
Generally speaking, the price difference is not necessarily due to different product characteristics. Purchasing conditions and availability are often decisive in this respect.
In the specific case, there are also technical differences - e.g. in view of Linux compatibility, USB-A connection (with adapter), headphone jack... You can also compare these features directly on the manufacturer's site:

Yes, there are two display port outputs (for 4K connections) you can also use DVI (DVI 1.0 provides resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz). After that it will depend on the power of your computer's graphics card. :)
