The answer will depends on what you plan to connect to the dock and on the system configuration.
There are two different models - one with a plastic chassis and only USB-C data port (i.e., no video out over USB) and the other with an aluminum chassis that has a video-capable USB-C port. There is no Thunderbolt support on this model.
If you plan to use video out and have the aluminum chassis, a USB-C or Thunderbolt dock will work.
If you plan to use video out on the plastic chassis model, you will need a dock that supports Displaylink (a driver based solution that allows video out over non-video USB port).

@ejn63 , thanks for the quick response. I have the aluminum chassis, so a USB-C dock should work (the 6-in-1 DA305 will suffice for my needs).

@ejn63, does DisplayLink allow for Extended monitor view? I have the plastic chassis and want to add 2 external monitors in Extended view.
Thanks.

It does, but be reasonable in your choice of monitors -- you don't want two high resolution extended monitors on a system with a very limited GPU.

@ejn63
Thanks for the quick response. I was able to do more research and find out that in fact a DisplayLink hub would allow for Extended view. I decided to return my plastic chassis (black color) and purchase the Platinum Silver (Aluminum) chassis. It comes with faster ram and no touch screen.
