- 3
- Video outputs
- usb-c-dp-alt-mode
Details
Via usb c dp alt mode (Thunderbolt 4): up to 3 displays.
Conditions
- Dell: 3 external displays with the laptop display enabled, 4 with it disabled.
- Same count for every GPU option (Intel Arc, RTX 4050/4060/4070); 4K/60 Hz per display, up to 8K on one or two displays.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Reaching the maximum simultaneous display count may depend on which ports are used together and the cable/adapter's own bandwidth — mixing connector types can behave differently than using a single port type.
