This is great! Was about to order an XPS or Thinkpad but think I'll go with this instead! How many external displays does it support? Would I need thunderbolt (would that just be a $9 adapter???)? I'd like to connect at least 3 external displays (so 4 total screens including the laptop). Is that possible? Thanks!

You can use up to four displays simultaneously, so three external displays along with the internal display would work. You can connect monitors directly using USB-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode), DisplayPort, or HDMI Expansion Cards, or you can connect them through a dock.

  Will you be able to see different things on each of the monitors or will some of the displays show the same thing (e.g. mirrored mode)? Having multiple monitors is meaningless if they are just displaying the same thing.

No thunderbolt on it. Thunderbolt is very hard to implement.

  It's currently Schrödinger's Thunderbolt, but it'll collapse to an answer once we complete certifications.

    Isn't usb 4.0 pretty much thunderbolt specs wise?

      Thunderbolt 4 is basically a superset of USB4. It's USB4 with some of the optional features required, and more rigorous testing required for certification.
