HP 3YE87AA#ABA Thunderbolt Dock 120W G2 Audio

The HP Thunderbolt Dock 120W G2 (3YE87AA) is a single-cable docking station that transforms a compatible HP notebook from a portable device into a stationary workstation in one Thunderbolt 3 connection. The 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 bus is the technical foundation — it provides sufficient bandwidth to simultaneously run dual external displays (via DisplayPort and VGA), four USB 3.0 peripherals, Gigabit Ethernet, and audio, while simultaneously delivering up to 120W of charging power back to the notebook. That 120W figure is significant: it covers HP's ZBook workstation-class notebooks, which can draw more power under load than the 65–90W typical of lighter docking solutions.

The dock is purpose-built for HP's professional notebook lineup — EliteBook, ProBook, Elite x2, and ZBook. For IT departments and enterprise buyers standardizing on HP hardware, the native certification means predictable behavior and supported warranty paths. Physically, the dock is compact enough for corner-of-desk placement and the build quality is appropriate for daily commercial use. The inclusion of both DisplayPort and VGA outputs acknowledges mixed monitor environments where legacy displays are still in service. For the single-cable convenience benefit to fully materialize, the host notebook must support Thunderbolt 3 — USB-C-only systems should look at USB-C docking alternatives instead.
