Have searched for this but haven't been able to get a clear answer regarding this. Should the Surface Pro X work with Thunderbolt 3 Docking Stations such as the HP G2, Dell TB16 (etc)? I know the Surface devices don't have Thunderbolt but my main requirement isn't the Thunderbolt speeds but rather the ability to connect 2 external screens to it. 

 

Thanks.

Yes.  USB-C docks are pretty much universal.

 

We've been supplying the Thunderbolt docks when available for non-TB laptops for futureproofing, as I would like to think these docks will last two laptop generations.

 

You probably won't have the ability to network boot (PXE) using a 3rd party dock as this required drivers baked into the UEFI BIOS, but few people need or want that functionality.
