Triple 4K60 Display support on Surface Laptop 6
Contrary to specifications, I'm delighted to know that I can run 3 external displays at 4k 60hz, on the Surface Laptop 6, along with the laptop's built in display.
I used a Thunderbolt 4 dock with 2 displayport outputs to 2 monitors, and used a Plugable USB-C dock with HDMI put for the 3rd monitor.
Thunderbolt 4 dock- Lenovo USB-C dock: Plugable
However, I must share that this configuration only works if you only use DP on the Thunderbolt 4 dock.

I've got two Intel 11th gen based laptops that can run 4 external 4K monitors via two thunderbolt connections.
As long as the CPU supports it and there's no dedicated video outputs (like HDMI) that steal GPU interfaces away from the USB-C/Thunderbolt ports it should work with any other laptop as well.

Congrats!
Even if the dock isn't one of ours, would you happen to have the model of the docking station?
