- Power my new XPS.
- Connect 2 external displays via HDMI or DP
- Plus the other ports on this.
ALL via a single USB C from dock to laptop?
But this does not have a network port for hardwired (instread of wifi).

I'm pretty sure there is a tb port can connect another monitor.
This deal however is a usb c dock. The way link is a tb dock
Yes, I could Google but frankly, I'd feel safer w/ a SD recommended link. tia

Would also appreciate this. Thanks in advance!

Sure, I'll sum it up -
An actual Thunderbolt dock has a separate Thunderbolt chip (these are more expensive). This allows for true 40gbps bandwidth into your device, and for devices that require more power (i.e. 5k monitor, etc.). Requires the use of a Thunderbolt cable as well (for example, the CalDigit includes one). Also, your device must support Thunderbolt 3 through a USB-C port. Don't assume that just because your laptop has USB-C, that it also supports Thunderbolt (example, my Thinkpad has two USB-C ports, one of which supports Thunderbolt).
The OPs device is just a glorified USB hub. Max throughput is (probably) 10gbps. Can do many of the things a regular Thunderbolt dock can do, but at a limited capacity (powering one 4K monitor, etc.)
Ask yourself what devices you'll be using. If you're just powering one monitor, maybe with a keyboard and mouse, it may make more sense to spend $50 and getting a standard USB-C hub instead (those cheap Anker hubs)
If you're connecting SSDs, high-res monitors, etc. then spring for the Thunderbolt. I've got a 34in ultrawide, webcam, keyboard/mouse, and battery charging through a simple USB-C hub and it works fine.

Thanks for your super helpful response. If anyone is looking for a thunderbolt compatible hub, this anker 13-1 device is on sale ($200, original price:$250) and from what I can tell appears to have much of the same features as the OP but with the thunderbolt distinction. (Disclaimer: I'm no expert).

Two questions:
- If I was to get this dock or CalDigit TS3 Plus, they deliver 100w and 85w, respectively. Wouldn't my laptop's battery be used during the day (WFH) since power charging isn't sufficient?
- Would I be able to get connection to Dell P3421W via USB-C and still be able to use USB ports on the monitor? I assume this would only be doable with CalDigit since it has USB-C out.

1 - Potentially. Unless your laptop is using 130w the entire time (probably not), then it'll charge. It may yell at you that the power isn't enough, but it would still work.
1a - You could just use both the power adapter it came with, and the monitor usb-c cable, that is if your laptop has two ports for it.
2- Yes, you should be able to do that. Your monitor would be acting as a hub.
