hp probook 650 G4
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

i was wondering if this laptop (probook 650 G4 (3JY27EA#UUG)) has the possiblity for thunderbolt 3..

i have searched the websites from hp and others but the usb C connector seems to be USB 3.1 gen 1 and nothing more.

there is also no thunderbolt driver on the website

so i think i already know the answer, but just wanna make sure 🙂 (which would s*ck for a device that's only 6 months old.. )

 

thanks in advance

Well it is what it is and the Service Manual lists the port as 

 

Connects an AC adapter that has a USB Type-C connector,
supplying power to the computer and, if needed, charging the
computer battery.
– and –
Connects a USB device that has a Type-C connector, such as a
cell phone, camera, activity tracker, or smartwatch, and
provides high-speed data transfer.
– and –

Connects a display device that has a USB Type-C connector,
providing DisplayPort output.

 

So it is a charging port, a data port and has Alt-DP so does most but not all of what Thunderbolt does so would not be able to connect an eGPU for example. 

 

Sorry.
