  Story of my past year. There are five different products named “g4 dock”, four of which are newer than the G5 dock (OLD g4 dock, plus 120W/280W Thunderbolt variants that are either TAA approved or not. One of these four has a 2.5GB Intel NIC. Good luck figuring out which one.)

  The trick with HP anything is to look for the quickspec . It’s stupidly the most detailed doc they produce

  This is why I avoid HP laptops (as well as Asus) like plagues.

    I agree, but it was free.

    … by listening to your physiotherapist and avoiding laptops altogether? Score!

  Because they love to change the URLs of their website every year. For an old product everything a search engine gives you is an error 404.

  You need the service manual, and in the service manual there’s all the detailed specs and variants and exact product numbers of supported components

    One of the universal truths is that a drunk sailor with a fistful of money could simply not buy anything on the HP site before he sobered up. That site is the hallmark of super-bad site design, and always has been.

  I know the feeling. I logged into HP hoping to look up the serial number. All it would tell me is that the warranty is expired.
