Spectre x360 2016 13-W0xx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So..I was using the plugable dock with my Spectre, but got a 43" 4k display that I want to use with my Spectre X360 13-w0xx.   The plugable dock will only do 4k@30hz.  I tried two other USB-C to HDMI adapters and they also would only do 30hz.

 

Finally got this video adapter:

It seems like displayport is more likely to work at 4k@60hz than HDMI.

 

So I'm really looking for a good dock that will work with the Spectre X360 and have the following:

-at least one 4k@60hz displayport

-Gigabit ethernet

-USB for keyboard/mouse wireless combio

-Power Delivery so I can charge the laptop.

 

Right now..I have to plug and unplug 3 things and I'm operating wirelessly for network (would rather use ethernet).  I have the displayport video adapter, ac adapter and USB keyboard/mouse adapter.

 

I looked at the HP Thunderbolt 3 zbook dock, but a lot of people complain about them.

 

Seems like some newer thunderbolt 3 stuff coming in a month or two also.  Anyone have any experience with any of this stuff?

Ended up getting the HP Thunderbolt 3 Elite Zbook dock, 65w.  Seems to be working great.

I'm running with an LG 27UD69 4K monitor with a Spectre x360 (2017). I had a Targus USB-C dock (dock410usz) that would only drive 4k @ 30hz. I switched out to the HP Elite Thunderbolt 3 dock (90w) on the advice of this thread and am able to get 4k @ 60hz now. So far, so good.

 

HP does a poor job outlining their various dock solutions and making it easier to understand the differences between models - different country sites have different levels of detail requiring a lot of cross referencing to make sure you get the right one.
