Does Omen 17-an018na have thunderbolt?

[RoRoRobo]

Does the Omen 17-an018na have a thunderbolt 3 port included? If so will it be compatible with the Omen Graphics Accelerator?

Hi,

No the PC does not have Thunderbolt3 port. We can see on spec sheet that it has USB 3.1 gen 1 ports at 5Gb/s. Thunderbolt 3 has even higher throughput.

Yes it does, as it states “A Thunderbolt 3-certified USB-C™ port” the port is at 5GB/s = 40gbits/s, thus it is able to connect to an egpu

On the other hand the 17-an019na has Thunderbolt port

1 Thunderbolt™ 3 (Data Transfer up to 40 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge)

So please show us where you get that info before you advise another member to buy a device which in my opinion is not compatible with the PC
