USB-C is USB3, not USB4. And every X-series Thinkpad has at least two, as far as I know.

- shmerl 7y agoIn the future USB4 will replace USB-C, so I wrote about both current and future cases. My E495 has only one and it's rather annoying (since it's also used for charging).
- eropple 7y agoThat’s kind of what you get with E and L models though. They’re bargain models. T and X models provide more ports as part of the value prop. I’ve seen a few power pass-through docks, though. Might be worth looking into if you haven’t already.
- shmerl 7y agoYes, I'm using such hub, since it's the only way to connect external monitors through DisplayPort when you only have one USB-C available. https://www.cablematters.com/pc-899-126-usb-c-multiport-adapter-with-8k-displayport-2x-usb-20-fast-ethernet-and-power-delivery.aspx https://www.cablematters.com/pc-899-126-usb-c-multiport-adap...
- numpad0 7y agoTo this and one above comment, just to clarify to other readers -- USB-C is a connector, can be 2.0 or 3.0 or 4.0, visually identical. There are USB-C cables with only 2.0 support and so on, in fact popular for people who just want to charge their devices.
