Standard symmetric 80 Gbps is separately sourced from Intel. Apple up-to-120 Gbps wording includes asymmetric display Bandwidth Boost and is not stored as symmetric rate. Other connector sides remain attributed to the original tour manual.18Maker product pageintel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-introduces-thunderbolt-5-standard.htmlRead 8 October 2026Apple exact laptop sheet explicitly identifies three Thunderbolt 5 connectors. Intel standard publishes 80 Gbps bidirectional bandwidth, separately up to 120 Gbps asymmetric Bandwidth Boost for displays. Stored 80 is the named protocol symmetric link rate, not a measured file-transfer result. Requires compatible device/cable. Does not imply maximum charging input or internal SSD speed.

USB-C maximum charging input omitted because current family PDF claims 245 W Lenovo protocol while original complete manual specifies 140 W. Both agree standard USB PD 65-100 W, retained only in notes.3Owner's manualdownload.lenovo.com/pccbbs/pubs/lenovo_pro_9_16/user_guide/en/index.htmlRead 5 October 2026Left view: Slim Tip, HDMI, two USB-C and audio. 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.
