    Somebody said the FX502vm from amazon has a TB3 port, it doesnt,

    What on earth is Asus doing putting a Minidisplay port on this model for, seriously what use is a redundant Apple technology?

    because it allows you to connect 2 external monitors.

    displayport isn't apple tech.

    displayport allows you to run a 4k monitor at 60hz. That stupid hdmi 1.4 port does not.
