Here are the specs for your computer:

The fastest port you have is USB 3.0. So that would be the port to use for a dock. Actually there is no way to have a "dock". A dock powers the laptop. There is no such classic docking station available. You have to use what is a called a USB 3.0 port replicator. You have to use the laptop AC adapter plus a port replicator. They do make USB 3.0 port replicators with 2 video links to add 2 more monitors in addition to the laptop screen. However screens attached to a USB 3.0 dock have pretty slow response time. Barely good enough for streaming video, not good for games, adequate for office and internet.

Serial number:[removed]. Software build ID:16WW2DST602#SABL#DABL
Motherboard ID:820D. Feature byte:6b7K7M7WaBapaqasauawbhbmbpbzcbdUdXdpdq.fG

Basically it has the following ports: 3 usb, 1 HDML, and 1 RJ45 (not so sure about this one), nothing else.
