    I have requested to purchase these laptops through government channels and I would like to know which docking station works with this laptop

    • Danijel Z

      Hi, the HP Envy laptops, including the 17t, doesn’t have a dedicated docking connector, which can be usually found on (mostly older) business-class laptops. Instead, you can use a USB docking station and connect it via one of the laptop’s USB ports. I think that the most of the available USB docking stations will work with this laptop, but I would suggest you to get a USB 3.1 or USB-C 3.1 compatible dock for the best performance for data transfers and video output (if the dock has video out). A good example of such is this Belkin dock: https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U093/
      Regards!
