    You have two USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C 3.1 gen 2 port, any of which can handle a docking station that will support two monitors. It doesn't look like your USB-C port has DP over USB on it so you do need an active dock to put a monitor on that port. I'd likely stay away from the USB 3.0 port that has offline charging power, since the dock will end up drawing power even when the system is off.
