Hi,

I noticed on the Acer store that two of the new Helios 300 laptops say they have Thunderbolt 3. Is this correct?

To be specific, they are the PH315-52-72EV (link) and the PH315-52-72RG (link), respectively. What is odd is that in the datasheet, they say "Number of Thunderbolt™ 3 (USB 3.1) Ports" is two, while the pictures clearly show one USB-C port (the only USB port that is capable of supporting Thunderbolt 3).

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Exper1mental

    Good afternoon Exper1mental !

    I really believe there is some error in the information.
    Even the service handle contains USB-Type C 3.1 Gen 1 and not Gen 2 (supported by Thunderbolt)
    I will check with the moderators about the information.
