Product: 840 G3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I got assigned a brand new 840 G3 from company as work laptop. I am wondering what can I use the USB Type-C port on laptop for? It seems like I can use it for charging and data transfer, what about connecting a USB Type-C external monitor? If so, will the USB hub on monitor work via that single USB Type-C port?

 

Thanks,

/S
