Spectre x360 Convertible 15-bl1XX
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I have a Spectre x360 Convertible 15-bl1XX laptop. The thunderbolt port on the right side is listed as "USB-C with Thunderbolt support."

 

I'm thinking about getting an external GPU and am hoping that port is Thunderbolt 3 (40GB/Second). Can anyone clear this up for me?

 

Thanks!
