What is the use of the Thunderbolt connector of the notebook

Intel released the long-advertised Light Peak technology, and named it "Thunderbolt", "Thunderbolt" interface, commonly known as Thunderbolt interface. Thunderbolt connectivity technology combines PCI Express data transfer technology with DisplayPort display technology to transmit data and signals simultaneously, and provides bidirectional 10Gbps bandwidth per lane, with the latest Thunderbolt 4 reaching 40Gbps

The connector next to your network cable is the Thunderbolt Interface, which is shaped like two waist keyways with arcs at the long ends, and a protruding contact piece in the middle. There is usually a graphic logo of lightning next to it.

Notebook computer (abbreviation: notebook, nb), Chinese also known as notebook, portable or knee bi Li on the computer (English:

A laptop computer is a small, portable personal computer that typically weighs 1-3 kg. The trend is to be smaller and lighter, but more powerful.

Different notebook models are suitable for different people, and usually, manufacturers will divide their products into models to meet different user needs.

From the perspective of use, notebook computers can generally be divided into 4 categories: business, fashion, multi-application, and special purpose.

Late-service laptops are generally characterized by high mobility and long battery life; There are also stylish laptops for business use.

Multi-application notebook computer is a combination of powerful graphics and multi-processing power and a certain degree of mobility, the common multi-** laptop on the market has independent more advanced graphics card, larger screen and other characteristics.

Special-purpose laptops are models that serve professionals and can be used in harsh environments such as scorching heat, severe cold, low pressure, and war, and are mostly bulky.

See if there is a sign in the shape of thunder and lightning.

The interface next to the network cable is the lightning interface, and the shape of the lightning interface is two waist keyways with arcs at the long ends, and there are protruding contact pieces in the middle. There is usually a graphic logo of lightning next to it.

The appearance is exactly the same as the Type C interface on the mobile phone. This is the Thunderbolt 3 interface. If all other conditions for buying a notebook are met, give priority to choosing a notebook with this interface, and the more you have, the better.

There are two main uses of the Thunderbolt four interface of the notebook:

Clause. First, it is faster in the output data, which solves the problem that the laptop charger is too large.

Clause. Second, the Thunderbolt four interface can also be connected to other displays to achieve the best display performance.

Thunderbolt IV is a new data entry port. Its biggest effect is that it can output data faster than before, and the output data can also be more high-quality.

Escalation points. 1. PCIe data transmission speed is improved.

The PCIe data transfer speed of the Thunderbolt 3 interface is 16Gb s, while the Thunderbolt 4 increases the PCIe data transfer speed to 32Gb S, which is equivalent to the speed of PCIe, which means that the thin and light laptop can also be connected to the Thunderbolt 4 graphics card docking station with stronger performance to achieve more powerful image processing and gaming performance.

2. Touch the keyboard and mouse to wake up the PC from sleep.

This effect is the same as that of the keyboard and mouse directly connected to the computer, the user does not need to knock on the keyboard and mouse on the laptop, and the external docking station is connected through the Thunderbolt 4 interface, and the keyboard and mouse connected to the docking station can also wake the computer from sleep, which is very convenient for daily use.
