Question about HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock
Does this docking station support 4K 120Hz display on macOS, specifically with a MacBook Air M5? The docking station supports 120Hz, but is it limited to Windows?

I'm not entirely certain about this answer because the available information does not specifically address your HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock or the future MacBook Air M5.
Native 4K 120Hz support on macOS via USB-C-HDMI requires macOS 26 (or newer) with HDMI 2.1 FRL support, a compatible HDMI 2.1 FRL adapter/dock, and a firmware update (often still being finalized for some products). On macOS, this support is not limited to Windows: it also works on macOS with macOS 26+, but it is limited by the Mac's GPU capabilities (e.g., only one 4K 120Hz screen for MacBook Airs without lid closed on M3+).
The MacBook Air M5 does not yet exist (the latest known model is M3/M4), so its specific compatibility cannot be confirmed. If your HP dock supports HDMI 2.1 FRL and you can install the required firmware, then 4K 120Hz is possible on macOS 26+, without limitation to Windows. However, check the official HP documentation to confirm if this model supports HDMI 2.1 FRL and if it has the necessary firmware.
