Spectre x360, Elitebook Folio 1040 G3
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought the Spectre x360 13 (13-ap0023dx), and my work-issued laptop is an Elitebook Folio 1040 G3 (v7b37uc).

 

I am looking for single docking station that will allow me (not at the same time, obviously) to connect each each to an external monitor and some preipherals (speakers, keyboard/mouse, backup HD).  I'd love for the dock to be able to power each laptop when connected, but it is not imperative.

 

Do any docking stations work with both of these?  What specs should I be looking for?

The Elitebook has following ports

 
USB 3.0 charging port - 2
USB-Type C charging port (15 W) - 1
Docking connector -1
HDMI 1.4 - 1
Headphone / microphone combo - 1
Multi-Pin AC Port (4.5 mm) - 1
 
And the Spectre has following ports
 
1 headphone/microphone combo;
2 Thunderbolt™ 3 (Data transfer up to 40 Gb/s signaling rate, Power Delivery, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge);
1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 (HP Sleep and Charge);
2 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 2

 

The following dock would be the one you are looking at

Thank you.  It's not many reviews, but that dock is very poorly rated.

 

Is USB-C essentially what I need to be looking for then?  For example, would the following work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FKTZLBS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3HIHADV23VGU1&psc=1
