Thunderbolt 3 Laptop List for 2018 (Ultrabook/Gaming/2-in-1/Tablets/Workstation Laptops with Thunderbolt 3)

Is Thunderbolt technology in a laptop important? Thunderbolt 3 is the one port that could replace all the others. A Thunderbolt cable replaces an HDMI cable, a power cable and can provide transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps all in one cable! It also support DisplayPort so you can even run graphics through it (if you want). It allows the ability to connect up to two 4K displays, outputting video and audio signal all at the same time.

Simply put, Thunderbolt 3 allows you to charge your laptop, transfer files at fast speeds, connect to monitors and other peripherals, all with one cable (but without all the clutter). The adaptability and tight size of the Thunderbolt 3 connector is what makes it ideal for slim and ultra-compact laptops.

Here is a list of all the available laptops that offer at least one Thunderbolt 3 port. Since there are numerous choices, we have split them in different groups: Gaming,Tablet, Ultrabook, Workstation, and Convertible laptops.

Best Thunderbolt 3 Laptop 2018 – Razer Blade Stealth

Check Price

Announced at CES 2018, the latest iteration of the Razer Blade Stealth has surprised us all and managed to refine and improve on the previous generation Blade Stealth, creating a true powerhouse of a laptop – all in a ultra-slim and sleek unibody casing. The Stealth is not just aimed for gamers (which we typically expect from Razer) – this model is capable of that and much more. Featuring the latest 8th Generation i7-8550U with clock speeds of up to 4 GHZ, 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory, 1TB SSD, up to 15 hours of charge (with Razer Power Bank), RGB features and eGPU support – the Razer Blade Stealth is a thunderbolt 3 laptop that really can do it all. The QHD+ touchscreen display is something else to look at, we haven’t any other laptop that can really rival this 3200×1800 display in terms of pixel density, sRGB and clarity.

If you want to turn this laptop into a desktop-beater, the inclusion of thunderbolt 3 and connecting to the Razer Core V2 external graphics card allows you to push this laptop to the limits when gaming.
