Help with USB C Docks

I'm trying to figure out what kind of USB Hub/Dock I would need for a laptop setup. Me and my Wife both have work laptops and personal laptops and I would like a setup where we can plug any of the laptops in, ideally with a single cable.

 

The dock will need to allow us to connect to:

  • 2 Displays (preferably 1440p each, but 1080p will also be ok)
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • USB Type A ports for keyboard, mouse etc

The laptops we have are

  1. HP Elitebook 840 G5 (USB-C w/Thunderbolt support)
  2. Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga (I think its USB-C only)
  3. Dell XPS 13 9360 (USB-C w/Thunderbolt support)
  4. Acer Swift SF314-51 (USB-C only)

The first 2 laptops are our work laptops, so they are the priority, it would just be nice if it also worked with our own laptops.

 

Does a Hub even exist that can do this? I'm not to bothered about power over USB C as I know not all laptops support that.
