USB-C Function and Use
by notadoc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DXVB)
I'm considering a Lenovo L14 laptop. It has four USB ports described as:
USB 3.1 Gen 1
USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Always On)
USB-C 3.1 Gen 1/DisplayPort (Power Delivery)
USB-C 3.1 Gen 2/DisplayPort (Power Delivery)
Do those USB-C ports function only as DisplayPort connections, or could they be converted to USB 3 with some kind of adapter or hub?
Am I correct in assuming that the USB 3.1 ports will accept older USB devices like external HDDs?
