HP's 16" thin mobile workstation skews toward USB-C — two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the left handle charging, displays, and high-speed storage, and a third USB-C port on the right adds a second charging-capable connection. A single USB-A 5Gbps port is the only legacy connection, with charging support of its own. Despite being a workstation-class machine, the ZBook Studio G11 has no built-in HDMI, Ethernet, or SD card slot — those run through a USB-C dock or dongle. The 3.5mm combo jack is on the left side next to the Thunderbolt cluster.
