I’m going to get the DIY edition of the 13-inch, comparing AMD to Intel

The Intel variant doesn’t appear to have any limitations - it seems that any expansion module can go in any slot, but for AMD it says

Supporting USB4/DP for upper left and right slots, USB 3.2/DP for lower right slot and USB 3.2 only for lower left slot, along with USB-C power input on all four slots

Looking at the forum posts, I’m still a bit confused.

If I’m using HDMI output to two external monitors which I’m going to be doing, can I still use any slot, or am I only limited to one HDMI output on the lower left slot only (and DP on another)?

I could go for Intel but it’s the end of DDR4 and I’d quite like to be on DDR5

    I got sick for two weeks so I couldn’t try it sooner, but I’m happy to report that the ones we have at work, function perfectly!

    We use the HP USB-C G4 dock.

    All three external monitors worked (2xDP,1xHDMI), my speakers and headset were recognized and working, and it was charging. The only thing that didn’t work was using the button on the dock to turn the FW on, but I can live with that.
