Is Thunderbolt technology in a laptop important? Thunderbolt 3 is the one port that could replace all the others. A Thunderbolt cable replaces an HDMI cable, a power cable and can provide transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps all in one cable! It also support DisplayPort so you can even run graphics through it (if you want). It allows the ability to connect up to two 4K displays, outputting video and audio signal all at the same time.

Simply put, Thunderbolt 3 allows you to charge your laptop, transfer files at fast speeds, connect to monitors and other peripherals, all with one cable (but without all the clutter). The adaptability and tight size of the Thunderbolt 3 connector is what makes it ideal for slim and ultra-compact laptops.

Here is a list of all the available laptops that offer at least one Thunderbolt 3 port. Since there are numerous choices, we have split them in different groups: Gaming,Tablet, Ultrabook, Workstation, and Convertible laptops.
