Spectre X360 15 DP ALT MODE

[Xyntec]

There doesn't seem to be any dock that's been tested for the spectre x360 15 except for the travel dock, who wants a travel dock?? The reason I want a dock is so that I don't have to connect every day in the office, just 1 USB C cable and done.

So I'm searching for a dock that has 2 display or HDMI ports (2 regular 1080p monitors, no 4k necessary), ethernet port, PD power throughput and some USB ports.

I found the Startech Dual-monitor USB-C 5-in-1 multiport adapter - 2 x 4K HDMI - 100W PD 3.0 that seems to have it all, but it needs to be connected to a Thunderbolt port with PD ALT MODE, anyone knows if the Spectre Thunderbolt ports support this?

Or anyone knows a different dock that has the same specs and works with the spectre?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is the Service Manual:

You have at least one Thunderbolt port supporting Alt-DP and also a USB-C charging port. See the diagram on pages 4 and 5. Apparently in some configurations there are two Thunderbolt ports. The official specs for your model do not specify which ports you have so I think you need to examine which icons are next to the USB-C style ports on the right side. 

I have had good luck with multiple brands of laptops with Thunderbolt ports using this dock:

In fact I am writing this on a laptop connected to such a dock right now. It will not do dual 4k monitors but you say you do not want that. For me, it easily drives an ultrawide and a FHD through the DP and HDMI ports. It can pass through up to 65w of power to a USB-C charging port. Its a little cheaper than the Startech dock you ask about although I would think that one would work for you, too. The Startech does come with its own power supply and the ioGear does not. 

Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
