Laptop-how many 4k monitors will this run?

I am thinking about ordering a few of these.  These Descriptions are from the Dell Quote, can you tell how many 4K monitors the laptop will be able to run?

Mobile Precision 7730 XCTO BASE

Nvidia Quadro P3200 w/6GB GDDR5

Dell Precision Dual USB-C Thunderbolt Dock - TB18DC

Ideally each laptop with the dock would run at least 2 different external 4k monitors.

From PC Mag Review, Quote
"The chassis is outfitted with two USB Type-C ports that support Thunderbolt 3, as well as three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, an SD card reader, HDMI and mini DisplayPort outputs, an Ethernet jack, and a headphone jack. Our unit also includes fingerprint and SmartCard readers for secure sign-ins. Between these, you have options for nearly every peripheral and display-output scenario, especially given the daisy-chaining capability of Thunderbolt 3."

You should be able to run 2 different displays but I have not been able to find that it could support more than 2

Thanks for the quick response. Can you tell if the 2 external displays can run in 4k resolution 3840x2160 on both?

It may support 4 monitors since you can daisy-chain them on displayport 1.2 or above.

@Andrew, do you know if I really need the doc if all I plan to do is run 2 external 4k monitors, and, do you know of a laptop that will run 2 or more external monitors at 4k 60hz?

Saw John pop up at bottom of screen as watching while I was typing. John, do you know anything about 4K displays because I don't although I do understand the electronics/maths.
I read through the specifications.  I have a 4K Television but not a standalone 4K monitor.
