In the wizard you get modules. You can hot swap modules because the are really USB-C under the hood. The laptop essentially has 4 USB-C ports and a module system to plug adapters in. You can avoid dongles this way.
I'm not entirely sure why they did 4. 4 is more than other competitor laptops in this size category have. It could have to do with what the processor can handle or the space in a form factor of this size.
- mfer 5y agoLooking further at the chips, they only support up to 4 external displays. I wonder if 4 is somehow otherwise a factor down to the CPU/integrated GPU level.
- tionis 5y agoIt's 4 because tiger lake CPUs have 4 pcie lanes and the usb ports are thunderbolt and thus require an entire lane for full speed
