Need a Dock for My Laptop and 2 Screens

Hi all,

Just after some recommendations for what dock would be good for my work laptop.

I have a Lenovo x1 carbon 4th generation laptop and will like to connect 2 monitors to it.

The only problem is my laptop doesn’t have usb c charger or the port, on my laptop.The laptop charger has AC standard connection to charge. One option I looked at was the Lenovo Hybrid dock but it has a usb c to usb a converter but when that is plugged in you cannot charge your laptop.

Any suggestions on what would work best for this laptop?

Thanks

    Does the laptop have HDMI and mini DP?

    doesn't it have Mini DP + HDMI outputs?

    that's two monitor connections.

    otherwise by a usb3 docking station

    Buy a Onelink+ dock off ebay (it's the dock designed to go with your laptop, the weird wide port on the side), it'll charge and do dual monitors on a single cable. A quick look and I saw one for $50.
