The Razer thunderbolt 4 Dock advertises the ability to connect two 4k displays.

After thorough searching and talking to Razer support, I haven't been able to find a coherent answer as to how to practically do this.

My goal is simple. I would like my desk two have two desktop monitors (currently I'm looking at having two gigabyte g27s, not 4k I know, for budget purposes, though I am flexible), a naga trinity mouse, a hunstman keyboard, and a seiren microphine connected to dock. I would like to have a single cable (thunderbolt 4) connect to a laptop (I've seen that the blade 13 and 15 have the thunderbolt 4 ports), so that when I sit down at the desk with the laptop, I don't have to connect all of the peripherals individually, which is I assumed was the purpose of the dock

I can't find the answer to several questions
1) will this work at all?
2) what minimum laptop specifications are needed to make this work? (Will a blade 13 be enough? or will I need a blade 15 or higher?
3) are there any other adapters/cables/or other caveats that I'm missing/will need?

If it makes a difference I won't be using the dual monitors for anything high fidelity that requires a high refresh rate. When I use two monitors, the primary use is somewhat equivelent to document editing on one monitor while having a reference open on the second monitor.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I don't see why what you're thinking about wouldn't be possible unless certain adapters (which would be required for the displays) aren't available. You're going to need at least two DP to USB-C adapters (or USB-C to HDMI). Alternatively, it looks as though they do make cables with those respective ends (for DP > USB-C).

As for the minimum laptop requirement, I'm sure your Blade 13 would be fine. I don't see anything here that would say otherwise: https://www.razer.com/gaming-pc-accessories/razer-thunderbolt-4-dock/RC21-01690100-R3U1

Good luck. A shame that no one from Razer Support was able to help you seeing this is their own product and you're having to get an answer from a random person on their forums. 😕

Regardless, good luck.
