The Surface Pro 11 is Microsoft's thin 13-inch 2-in-1 tablet running on Snapdragon X Elite, and its port selection reflects a USB4-forward approach without Thunderbolt certification. Both USB-C / USB4 ports support DisplayPort 1.4a and data transfer at 40 Gbps, but there is no 3.5mm headphone jack on the device itself. The Surface Connect port enables docking with legacy Microsoft accessories. A proprietary Type Cover connector magnetically attaches the Surface keyboard accessories.
Razer's ultra-slim 14-inch gaming laptop runs on AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and delivers premium connectivity without Thunderbolt — the AMD platform uses USB4 instead. Two USB4 Type-C ports each support DisplayPort Alt Mode and 100W Power Delivery for charging. Full-size HDMI 2.1 outputs up to 4K at high refresh rates for gaming monitors. There is no SD card reader and no Thunderbolt 4 certification, though USB4 devices are broadly compatible.
Razer's 15-inch gaming ultrabook features two Thunderbolt 4 ports at 40Gbps, integrated HDMI 2.1, and dual USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports for gaming peripheral support. The HDMI 2.1 connection drives 4K@120Hz or 1440p@240Hz for competitive gaming displays without adapters. Both TB4 ports handle 140W Power Delivery while supporting multiple external displays via daisy-chaining. Below is the complete port breakdown.
The 2024 Razer Blade 16 is built around an Intel Core i9-14900HX and an NVIDIA RTX 40-series GPU inside a CNC-aluminium 16-inch OLED chassis. Port layout splits evenly across both sides: one Thunderbolt 4 USB-C and one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, each rated for 100 W USB-C Power Delivery, plus HDMI 2.1 for external displays and three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports for peripherals. A UHS-II SD card reader on the left eases camera workflows, and a Kensington security slot is present for desk setups. Full-load charging still uses the bundled 280 W proprietary DC barrel — USB-C PD only covers light workloads.
Samsung's 16-inch premium laptop targets creators and power users with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports that run at 40 Gbps and support daisy-chaining up to six devices. Both Thunderbolt 4 ports offer DisplayPort Alt Mode, enabling an 8K display or two 4K monitors simultaneously. A USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port handles legacy peripherals at 5 Gbps, while a microSD slot provides convenient memory card access. HDMI 2.1 offers a direct cable path to high-refresh-rate monitors without adapters.
