“ Note: the original version of this article incorrectly stated that Apple had brought USB4 to market ahead of Intel; a correction by Ryan Smith of AnandTech noted that some PCs have already shipped with Intel's TL chips. Smith stated that Dell began delivery of systems supporting USB4 in the first week of October.”

Do you have a real link to USB4 laptops currently on sale? Your first from September points to a model that was expected to arrive in October, but searching Asus brings up USB 3.x models. The other is from January. 

Thanks 

Sure, there are quite a lot of them:

All Tiger Lake chips support Thunderbolt 4/USB4.

Dell's XPS 13" was the first to go on sale, on September 30th:

The Dell XPS 13 9310 with the 11th Gen Tiger Lake processor and Thunderbolt 4 has been out since October. I think the key difference is Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 have the same top speed of 40Gbps, but Thunderbolt 4 should always be that fast whereas USB4 can be slower (20Gbps) (as is indicated in your second link).

Point being, this article is false.

Apple was not first to release a USB4 product, since Tiger Lake has been out since October, which includes Thunderbolt 4/USB4.

Lmao, so I see Appleinsider continues to publish fake news.

The entire premise of this article is false. Tiger Lake laptops (which include Thunderbolt 4) were released in late October. Thunderbolt 4 includes USB4, but it's faster.

No, Apple was not first. Does anyone here do any research before writing an "article"?
