Hello all, I have a question.

So very recently I bought a ASUS ZenBook UX310 equipped with a 7th gen core ir processor, 4gb ram, intergrated graphics and a 250gb SSD. This is a pretty well equipped laptop and is very snappy, however the one area where it really falls short is the graphics.

So i was wondering, my laptop has a usb type c port would this mean i could connect an external gpu enclosure to it and use it without issues? for example one of these: http://www.rcblogic.co.uk/p-8950-sonnet-egfx-breakaway-box-350-tb3-expansion-system.aspx?source=paidclick&gclid=CjwKCAjwqcHLBRAqEiwA-j4AyK9B3J2Ck-biqNgI87MUkWnIIT_qEq4cKFWInTXnv4ALFEoNb4Ru4hoCfRMQAvD_BwE

Also would my usb type c port need to be Thunderbolt 3-compliant? Or are all usb type c ports Thunderbolt 3-compliant?

If someone could answer these questions i would greatly appreciate it.

Many Thanks, Alex :)
