Trying to understand the differences with the docks

Does this give you any helpful additional info?

Thanks.  Meh.  Microsoft is like that.  A page with links.  That goes to more links.  How you guys get time to understand / digest all that info is way beyond my capabilities and time!

Is there any 30 second elevator pitch type of cliff note summary beyond this for the Dell laptop docks?  This is for a business use (word, excel, surfing the web, watch a video in off hours, etc.), either 1 or 2 monitors, a mouse, keyboard and network connection.

This has a little info

But it says all have Thunderbolt connectivity.  That doesn't mean it runs thunderbolt, right?  TB is backwards compatible? ie a TB laptop will talk to a non TB dock, but you don't get TB features (which are???)
