I can't find it listed on the website, but does it really not have a USB-C/Thunderbolt port? My XPS connects out to a dock via USB-C that then goes to two displays, one on HDMI and the other on displayport. I assumed this kind of setup was fairly standard, but that's awful if Intel is using their muscle to prevent it on non-Intel HW.
- vvillena 6y agoI'm writing this from a Ryzen-powered Thinkpad connected to a 4K display via USB-C. That Ideapad doesn't seem to support USB-C video output, so the probable reason is market segmentation. They probably want to make the people who want external displays buy a Thinkpad or a Legion.
- hackerfromthefu 6y agoI think that has usb 3.2 gen 1 so only 5Gbs, but that can still support 4k @ 60hz with the right usb hub, maybe via displaylink compression
- wazoox 6y agoUnfortunately the USB-C is only USB 3.2, not Thunderbolt capable. It's not a thinkpad, it's sold as a "gaming laptop" that's why it's cheaper.
- distances 6y agoThunderbolt isn't available on AMD laptops. You do get USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) which is enough for 4K 60Hz, but I can't say about two high-res monitors.
