Im sorry to ask you again about this. My biggest confusion was that i thought you need a thunderbolt port for it. Just want to confirm that it works with AMD too! Sorry and thanks!

Nope, you don't need Thunderbolt for a basic gigabit USB-Ethernet-adapter and yes, they're just basic USB-devices, so they'll work just fine on AMD as well.

Hello all!

 

I am planning to purchase an AMD laptop which has really decent specs but it doesnt have a Ethernet port.

 

It has USB 3.2 however and I was wondering if I could use a type - c to Ethernet dongle for it. The question is, will it work? I couldnt find an answer. I have heard it works on intel as it has ThunderBolt.

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, USB 3.0 Ethernet - adapters have existed for a decade already and cost something like $10 on eBay and the likes.
