Right view: SD and two USB-A. Specifications confirm TB4/USB4 40 Gbps. USB-C output is 5 V x 3 A = 15 W. Regular USB-A output is 5 V x 0.9 A = 4.5 W. Always On output is 5 V x 2 A = 10 W. USB-C highest proprietary input is unresolved because manual 140 W conflicts with current PDF 245 W. The supplied 170 W adapter uses Slim Tip.
