All three laptops are armed with a range of connectivity-enhancing features. Wi-Fi 6 offers increased capacity and faster connection speeds, whilst two USB-C Thunderbolt 3-enabled ports provide more connectivity options. An optional Thunderbolt 3 Dock and dynabook USB-C Dock solutions also provide further peripheral connectivity.
