Hi Ep-Resident，
Thanks for posting!
The ports of AS6 are USB4, not Thunderbolt 4.
USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 are both new standards for data, video, and power transfer using the USB-C connector.
They both support up to 40Gbps bandwidth, dual 4K displays or a single 8K display, and laptop charging. However, Thunderbolt 4 has stricter minimum requirements than USB4, making it more reliable and consistent. Thunderbolt 4 also has more PCIe bandwidth, better security features, and longer cable lengths than USB4. USB4 is more flexible and cheaper to implement, but it may not offer all the features that Thunderbolt 4 does.
USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 are compatible with each other, but they are not identical.
Regards,
Reya
