For example, on a typical Dell Latitude that has at least thunderbolt 3, the output of TB3 is about 40Gbps and more than likely, the graphics card can transmit that via that one single output port so you can get a dual 4k/60 thunderbolt adapter or dock (most easy to find config for that would be dual displayport out 4k60) and it should support it (if it doesn't, check if it's a MST or dsc issue). For another laptop, you could use a combination of ports such as two USB 3.2 gen 2 ports or some display over usb c ports or hdmi/dpi out ports.
This laptop specifically you'd have to check the actual spec sheet (you can never trust best buy's) - the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port (data only) won't support video out, the HDMI port is HDMI 1.4 so the very interface itself won't support 4k60, and the only USB 3 USB-A port is only 3.2 Gen 1 so it won't support 4k60 either (or at least not to my knowledge); all in all, zero 4k/60 external displays with this laptop.

And fwiw, I can still buy this laptop for in store pickup at a number of Best Buy stores around me that has stock.
These consumer grade Inspiron machines are just fine, especially for this price.
both of mine were condition A, but many are happy with condition B. these refurbished are a fraction of the new price and are good for 99% of users. if you need Work Station performance, then look at the Precision line of Dells: again a Fraction of the price of new.
this is what we do at Slick Deals, a refurb dell with a coupon is about as good as it gets, unless money doesn't matter to you.
Dell will send you replacement batteries if any of the refurb has less than 80% capacity left.
These latitude might not be as fast as the ryzen 5 , but they can hardly be called "slow". They are 4 cores 8threads after all. Unless the only thing you care or need is the fastest cpu, then of course, the ryzen cpu is def a lot faster. But for everyday productivity work, the latitude i5-8365u is a perfectly fine cpu. Yes, they might not be as power efficient but the latitude does have usually bigger battery capacity so it evens out.
On top of this is the fact that these latitudes have more features than these cheap inspirons. Features like full fledge usb-c with DP and PD, backlit keys, two sodimm slots, replaceable wifi card. Many will even have touchscreen, smart card reader with also support for fingerprint or IR window hello cam . Even the ones that didn't come with fingerprint reader, i was able to add it in for about $20 because the parts are readily available.
The screen on some of the dell latitude like the ones from the 5300 and 5310 have excellent color rendering for lcd!

cheap saving measures
just get another 8GB sodimm to add to the slot for cheap upgrade to 16gb total.
2020 Latitude 12-15inch are more rugged for travel, wifi 6 2x2 is strong. with Intel 10th Gen, glass touchscreen 2 in 1 compares well for $300.
2019 Latitude 8th Gen make great sub-$200 spare laptops
Three pretty good choices before Black Friday rat race lol

to hit $300 brand new target price
RAM (max 64GB using two 32GB sodimm) and SSD are upgradable. I always go to Crucial.com to check this myself [crucial.com].
Found a manual. Remove all but the two back captive screws that you just loosen. Then pry open starting by the hinges. Lots of loud pops later it's off.
