USB-C

Reversible 24-pin connector — the universal modern port.

USB-C is the connector shape, not the data protocol. The same physical port can carry USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), USB 3.2 (10-20 Gbps), USB4 (40 Gbps), Thunderbolt (40-120 Gbps), DisplayPort Alt Mode, and Power Delivery (up to 240W). This is why "it has USB-C" tells you almost nothing about what it can do — always check the protocol spec next to the port.
