Thunderbolt 3 Ports on the HP Z 17 G6 Mobile Workstation

[MikeJy]

I have a HP ZBook 17 G6 Mobile Workstation which has 2 x USB Type C Thunderbolt 3 ports. I want to know if they are really are Thunderbolt 3 ports as I have red they are only with Apple Machines as it is patented by them. I'm interested in buying a Benq 32 inch 4K Thunderbolt 3 Monitor with Display P3 | PD3220U, but asking Benq they never got back to me. I don't really want to fork out more than 1000€ to find out I don't have connectivity. I have no other way of testing my laptop as I don't have any Thunderbolt 3 devices.

If they are true Thunderbolt 3 ports, there are 2 and is one for power and the other output? I haven't had a feedback from HP either and the manuals are very clear on this subject. I have know idea of what Thunderbolt 3 devices I can connect to.

Can anybody help me please..

Mike
