It looks like the Lenovo produced docks don't support dual monitors, does anyone recommend a dual monitor capable dock that's USB3?
It would be driving two 1080p monitors via HDMI
Dual Monitor Capable Dock for Lenovo T470

ThinkPad T470 has Thunderbird 3 and there are many docks available that can do up to 2x UHD. Even Lenovo's own USB C dock has 2x DisplayPort and can do 2x FHD. Cheaper elsewhere when you combine with eBay's coupon.
I was hoping to go with a USB3 dock, so I can use it for both my work (T470) and personal (E570p) laptops.
I'm thinking I might go the Lenovo USB3 Ultra Dock, and use DVI for one of the two monitors.
Have decided to go with the USB3 Ultra Dock, and get a new DisplayPort monitor
You can also use DisplayPort <-> HDMI adaptor.
Awesome, didn't even know that was a thing. Thanks!
I'm using this one at the moment on my mac https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/solutions/acc100356
Lists the T470 so I'm sure the support there is better than the mac which requires 1 monitor to be connected through the USB-C out. I don't think this is a problem on Windows though but I can't be sure.
Love having everything including charging connected through the 1 cable though
