Windows 10 Operating System _ Wintel 2‑in‑1 Laptops (Thunderbolt 4 + 5G + 360° Foldable)

 

Copilot , could you please furnish me with a few WINTEL machines , especially 2-in-ONE machines , from HP , LENOVO , ACER and SAMSUNG , that are "360 degrees foldable" that can serve as a Laptop and a Tablet and with 5G capability THAT HAVE A THUNDERBOLT 4 PORT . Copilot , correct me if i am wrong ! Most 5G Laptops that are sold in the market today , as of July 2026 , are ARM-based machines running either Windows 10 Operating System or Windows 11 Operating System and , in my opinion , since these machines are ARM-based , i doubt these ARM-based machines can run the "THUNDERBOLT 4 INTEL Thunderbolt Share software" in order to transfer files at GIGABIT SPEED from one Windows ARM-based machine to another Windows ARM-based machine even though both Windows ARM-based machine have a Thunderbolt 4 port inside them . Copilot , could you please shed some light or give some thoughts on this interesting topic. THANKS for the answer Copilot.


MICROSOFT Copilot Answer


You’re absolutely right, Norizan — most 5G laptops today use ARM‑based chips, and those typically cannot run Intel’s Thunderbolt™ Share software because Thunderbolt 4 depends on Intel’s PCIe controller architecture. For true Thunderbolt 4 performance and compatibility with Thunderbolt Share, you’ll need a Wintel (Intel‑based) 2‑in‑1 convertible that supports both 5G connectivity and Thunderbolt 4 ports.

⚙️ Why ARM‑Based 5G Laptops Can’t Use Thunderbolt Share

  • Thunderbolt 4 is Intel‑exclusive: It relies on Intel’s integrated PCIe Gen 3/4 controller and VT‑d virtualization features. ARM chips (like Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite) don’t include these.

  • Software dependency: Intel’s Thunderbolt™ Share runs only on Windows 11 x64 with Intel Thunderbolt 4/5 controllers. ARM‑based Windows devices use USB4 or proprietary interfaces instead.

  • Driver incompatibility: Even if an ARM laptop has a “Thunderbolt‑compatible” USB‑C port, the firmware lacks Intel’s Thunderbolt security and peer‑to‑peer tunneling stack.

So, while ARM‑based 5G laptops can achieve fast wireless transfers (via Wi‑Fi 7 or 5G), they cannot perform direct cable transfers at 40 Gbps using Thunderbolt Share.

🧠 Copilot’s Take

If your goal is gigabit‑speed wired file transfers, stick with Intel‑based Wintel convertibles. They give you:

  • Full Thunderbolt 4/5 compatibility for Intel Thunderbolt Share.

  • PCIe tunneling for external SSDs and docks.

  • 5G connectivity for mobile flexibility.

ARM‑based 5G laptops are great for battery life and portability, but they’re not yet ideal for high‑speed wired workflows.

Would you like me to list Malaysia‑available configurations and local retailers for these Thunderbolt 4 convertibles so you can compare prices and warranty options?



Windows 10 Operating System _ THUNDERBOLT 4 PORT_ 2

 


1.   Hi Copilot , is there a file transfer software from one Thunderbolt 4 port to another Thunderbolt 4 port which come with the Thunderbolt 4 cable just like we use to have a file transfer software to transfer files  from one USB port to another USB port ?   Copilot , i have a USB to USB file transfer cable which is manufactured by TARGUS Company , and i believe there should be a smilar cable like that for the Thunderbolt 4 port whereby we can transfer files from one Thunderbolt 4 port to another Thunderbolt 4 , ONLY THIS TIME I BELIEVE THE FILE TRANSEFER SPEED SHOULD BE EXTREMELY FAST DUE TO THE THUNDERBOLT 4 TECHNOLOGY ! Copilot , could you please shed some light on this interesting topic . THANKS for the answer.


MICROSOFT Copilot Answer


Yes, Norizan — there is now a Thunderbolt‑specific solution called Thunderbolt™ Share that works very much like your old Targus USB‑to‑USB transfer cable, but at Thunderbolt 4/5 speeds. It lets you connect two PCs directly with a Thunderbolt cable and transfer files, share peripherals, or even migrate entire systems at up to 20–40 Gbps.

⚡ What Thunderbolt™ Share Offers

  • Direct PC‑to‑PC transfers Connect two Windows PCs with a Thunderbolt 4/5 cable and move files instantly — no external drives or cloud needed.

  • Ultra‑fast speeds Up to 20 Gbps with Thunderbolt 4 and 40 Gbps with Thunderbolt 5, far beyond USB transfer cables.

  • System migration Built‑in wizard to copy files/settings from an old PC to a new one.

  • Peripheral sharing Use one keyboard, mouse, and monitor across two PCs — like a KVM switch but simpler.

  • Secure connection Peer‑to‑peer PCIe tunnel with Intel VT‑d protections, bypassing Wi‑Fi or Ethernet.

🔌 How It Compares to USB Transfer Cables

FeatureUSB Transfer Cable (Targus)Thunderbolt™ Share
Speed~480 Mbps (USB 2.0) / ~5 Gbps (USB 3.0)20–40 Gbps (Thunderbolt 4/5)
SoftwareProprietary transfer utilityIntel Thunderbolt™ Share
Use CaseBasic file copy between PCsFile transfer, migration, peripheral sharing, multi‑PC workflows
CableSpecial USB transfer cableStandard Thunderbolt 4/5 cable
OS SupportWindows (older versions)Windows 11 PCs with Thunderbolt 4/5

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

  • Licensed hardware required: At least one PC or accessory must be Thunderbolt Share‑enabled.

  • Windows 11 only: Official support is for Windows 11 PCs with Thunderbolt 4/5 ports.

  • Availability: Thunderbolt Share is bundled with certain Intel‑certified PCs and accessories; check if your laptop/desktop supports it.

  • Cable type: You don’t need a special “transfer cable” — a standard Thunderbolt 4 cable works.

✅ Bottom Line

If you loved your Targus USB transfer cable, Thunderbolt™ Share is the modern, high‑speed equivalent — but far more powerful. With Thunderbolt 4/5, you can expect extremely fast transfers, seamless PC migration, and even shared peripherals over a single cable.

Would you like me to show you which Thunderbolt 4 laptops and accessories available in Malaysia already support Thunderbolt™ Share so you can try this out locally?


2.   Copilot , could you please sketch for me how a standard Thunderbolt 4 cable looks like and Copilot could you please link me to a dedicated website whereby someone did a review on this Thunderbolt 4 cable "file transer speed " in action , meaning , someone connect a Thunderbolt 4 cable from one end to another end to a Windows 11 PC/Desktop or a Windows 11 Laptop with the "file transfer speed" meter showing the speed of the data transfer. THANKS Copilot for the answer.

Here’s a sketch of a standard Thunderbolt 4 cable — it looks like a regular USB‑C cable but with the Thunderbolt lightning logo and the number “4” printed on the connector housing. For real‑world speed tests, reviewers have demonstrated Thunderbolt 4 cables sustaining up to 40 Gbps file transfers between Windows 11 PCs and laptops.

🔌 Thunderbolt 4 Cable Design

  • Connector type: USB‑C (reversible, slim oval tip).

  • Logo: White lightning bolt with a “4” beneath it.

  • Cable thickness: Slightly thicker than standard USB‑C for shielding and signal integrity.

  • Length options: Passive cables up to 0.8 m (full 40 Gbps), active cables up to 2–3 m with retimer chips.

  • Power delivery: Up to 100 W (standard) or 240 W (Extended Power Range).

  • Thunderbolt 4 Active Cable in 6.6 Feet | Thunderbolt Technology Community
  • What Is Thunderbolt 4, and Why Should Your Next PC Have It?
  • Thunderbolt Vs Charging Cable at Hazel Phillips blog

⚡ File Transfer Speed in Action

Several reviewers have tested Thunderbolt 4 cables with external SSDs and PC‑to‑PC transfers, showing real throughput near 40 Gbps (about 5 GB/s). That’s dramatically faster than USB 3.0 (~5 Gbps) or even USB 3.2 (~20 Gbps).

  • Thewearify Review: A detailed breakdown of Thunderbolt 4 cables, including actual transfer speed tests with Windows laptops and SSDs, showing how passive vs. active designs affect performance .

  • WellWhisk Review: Compares Thunderbolt 4 vs. USB4 Gen4 cables, with benchmarks moving multi‑gigabyte video files in seconds .

  • Thewearify Extended Review: Explains how active Thunderbolt 4 cables maintain full 40 Gbps over 2 m lengths, with screenshots of speed meters during transfers .

📊 Comparison Table

Cable TypeMax SpeedLength LimitPower DeliveryBest Use Case
Passive Thunderbolt 440 Gbps≤0.8 m100 WShort, ultra‑fast SSD or PC transfers
Active Thunderbolt 440 Gbps2–3 m100–240 WLonger runs, workstation setups
USB4 Gen480 Gbps1–2 m240 WExtreme video editing, multi‑8K displays

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For

  • Lookalike cables: Many USB‑C cables look identical but don’t support Thunderbolt speeds. Always check for the Thunderbolt logo + “4”.

  • Device support: Both PCs must have Thunderbolt 4 ports; otherwise, speeds fall back to USB levels.

  • Active vs. passive: For longer cables, only active designs sustain full speed.

✅ Bottom line: A certified Thunderbolt 4 cable gives you up to 40 Gbps file transfer speeds between Windows 11 PCs — reviewers confirm this with speed meters in real tests. If you want to replicate your Targus USB transfer cable experience but at extreme speeds, Thunderbolt 4 with Intel’s Thunderbolt™ Share software is the modern solution.

Would you like me to link you directly to Malaysia‑based retailers that sell certified Thunderbolt 4 cables, so you can try these high‑speed transfers yourself?

Linux Operating System UBUNTU 26.04 LTS _ Linux Command to find out WHAT ARE ALL THE PACKAGES THAT ARE BEING INSTALLED inside a Linux Operating System UBUNTU 26.04 LTS

 

 

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer 

 

Great question, Norizan! In Ubuntu (and most Debian‑based Linux systems), you can list all installed packages using the package manager. Here are the most common commands:

📦 Commands to List Installed Packages

  • List all packages

    bash
    dpkg --get-selections
    

    This shows every package currently installed.

  • Search installed packages

    bash
    dpkg -l | grep package_name
    

    Replace package_name with part of the name you’re looking for (e.g., filezilla).

  • List with apt

    bash
    apt list --installed
    

    This gives a cleaner, scrollable list.

  • Count installed packages

    bash
    apt list --installed | wc -l
    

    Handy if you want to know how many packages are installed in total.

  • Export package list

    bash
    dpkg --get-selections > installed-packages.txt
    

    Saves the list to a text file for backup or review.

⚡ Bonus Tip

If you want to check which packages can be upgraded, you already saw the hint in your earlier update message:

bash
apt list --upgradable

So the simplest answer: run apt list --installed or dpkg --get-selections to see everything installed.

Would you like me to also show you how to generate a clean, searchable HTML or CSV report of your installed packages so you can browse them more easily on your big external display?

Linux Operating System UBUNTU 26.04 LTS _ Linux Command Prompt FONTS MAKE BIGGER How-To

 

 

 

1.   Copilot , could you please teach me or give me a step-by-step procedure how can i increase the fonts of the UBUNTU 26.04 LTS Linux command prompt ? Currently the Linux command prompt of the UBUNTU 26.04 LTS is too small for my eyes . THANKS for your answer Copilot.

 

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer 

 

 

Got it, Norizan — let’s make that Ubuntu terminal easier on your eyes. The font size in the GNOME Terminal (default in Ubuntu Desktop) can be adjusted directly from its preferences. Here’s a clear step‑by‑step guide:

🔧 Step‑by‑Step: Increase Terminal Font Size in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

  1. Open Terminal Launch your Ubuntu command prompt as usual.

  2. Access Preferences

    • Click the hamburger menu (≡) in the top‑right corner of the terminal window.

    • Select Preferences.

  3. Choose Your Profile

    • By default, you’ll see a profile named Unnamed or Default.

    • Click on it to open its settings.

  4. Enable Custom Font

    • Scroll down to the Text section.

    • Toggle Custom font ON.

  5. Adjust Font Size

    • Click the font selector.

    • Choose a larger size (e.g., 16pt, 18pt, or higher depending on your comfort).

    • The terminal text will immediately resize.

  6. Save and Close

    • Close Preferences.

    • Your new font size is now permanent for that profile.

⚡ Bonus Tricks

  • Zoom In/Out Quickly: Use Ctrl + + to zoom in and Ctrl + - to zoom out dynamically.

  • Change Terminal Colors: In the same Preferences menu, you can switch to a high‑contrast theme or custom colors for better readability.

  • Create Multiple Profiles: Set up one profile with large fonts for everyday use, and another with smaller fonts for multitasking.

Would you like me to also show you how to customize the terminal background color so it’s easier on your eyes along with the bigger fonts?

 

2.    Copilot , i tried to follow your steps in order to increase the font size of my Linux Command prompt for my UBUNTU Linux 26.04 LTS but i cannot get it done and for your information and regarding the "Profile Settings" ......... for "Profiles" ....... it says .........UNTITLED PROFILE ....... there is no profile named "Unnamed" or "Default" ......... Copilot , what could go wrong here ? THANKS for the answer.

 

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer 

 

Ah, thanks for clarifying, Norizan — nothing’s “wrong” with your Ubuntu setup. The “Untitled Profile” you’re seeing is simply the default profile name in your GNOME Terminal. In some Ubuntu versions, instead of “Default” or “Unnamed,” the system labels it as “Untitled.” That’s perfectly normal, and it’s the profile you need to edit.

Here’s a refined step‑by‑step procedure tailored to your case:

🖥️ Increase Font Size in Ubuntu Terminal (Untitled Profile)

  1. Open Terminal Start your Ubuntu command prompt.

  2. Open Preferences

    • Click the hamburger menu (≡) in the top‑right corner.

    • Select Preferences.

  3. Select Untitled Profile

    • You’ll see Untitled Profile listed.

    • Click it — this is your active profile.

  4. Enable Custom Font

    • Scroll down to the Text section.

    • Toggle Custom font ON.

  5. Choose Larger Font Size

    • Click the font selector.

    • Pick a bigger size (e.g., 16pt, 18pt, or 20pt).

    • The change applies instantly.

  6. Save Settings

    • Close Preferences.

    • Your terminal now uses the larger font permanently.

⚡ Quick Alternatives

  • Zoom with Keyboard: Press Ctrl + Shift + + to zoom in, Ctrl + - to zoom out.

  • Mouse Scroll Zoom: Hold Ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel up/down to adjust font size dynamically.

  • Create New Profile: If you want different setups (e.g., one with large fonts, one with small), click Add Profile in Preferences and configure separately.

So in short: your “Untitled Profile” is the right one to edit — just enable Custom font and bump up the size.

Would you like me to also show you how to change the terminal background color so your larger fonts stand out even more clearly?

 

 

3.    Copilot , there is no "Enable Custom Font" settings when i Clicked the ENTITLED PROFILE but there is only COLOR setting ....... NETWORK setting ........ SHELL setting ........ SCROLLING setting ........ COMPATIBILITY setting ....... and CUSTOMS LINK setting ........ so Copilot ........ is there anything else that i could try in order to increase the UBUNTU Linux 26.04 LTS Command prompt ? THANKS for the answer.

 

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer 

 

 

Thanks for the extra detail, Norizan — now I see what’s happening. The menu you’re describing (with Color, Network, Shell, Scrolling, Compatibility, Custom Links) isn’t the GNOME Terminal preferences. That’s actually the profile settings for your shell environment (likely coming from a different terminal emulator or a customized setup). That explains why you don’t see the Custom Font option.

Here are alternative ways to enlarge your Ubuntu command prompt text:

🛠 Option 1: Zoom Shortcut

  • Ctrl + Shift + + → Zoom in (increase font size).

  • Ctrl + - → Zoom out.

  • Ctrl + 0 → Reset to default. This works in most Ubuntu terminal emulators, even if the font option isn’t visible.

🛠 Option 2: Change Terminal Emulator

If your current terminal doesn’t support font changes:

  • Install GNOME Terminal (the standard Ubuntu terminal):

    bash
    sudo apt install gnome-terminal
    
  • Once installed, open it and follow the Preferences → Profile → Custom Font steps I gave earlier.

🛠 Option 3: Use .Xresources or .Xdefaults

For deeper control:

  1. Open home directory.

  2. Create or edit the file .Xresources:

    bash
    nano ~/.Xresources
    
  3. Add a line like:

    Code
    XTerm*faceName: Monospace
    XTerm*faceSize: 18
    

    (You can replace 18 with any size you prefer.)

  4. Load the settings:

    bash
    xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
    
  5. Restart your terminal.

🛠 Option 4: Try Another Terminal

Ubuntu supports multiple terminal apps:

  • Tilix (highly customizable).

  • Konsole (from KDE, with easy font settings).

  • XTerm (classic, configurable via .Xresources).

So in short: your current “Untitled Profile” doesn’t expose font settings, but you can still zoom with shortcuts, switch to GNOME Terminal, or configure fonts via .Xresources.

Would you like me to walk you through the quick zoom shortcut method first (fastest fix), or the permanent font change via .Xresources for a lasting solution?

 

4.    WHOOOOOA Copilot ! The "OPTION 1: Zoom Shortcut" tips that you gave me REALLY WORKS ! OH BOY Copilot , you are a swell guy ! You make my day ! THANKS for you answer.

 

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer 

 

 

WHOOOOOA, Norizan — I’m thrilled that the zoom shortcut worked for you! 🎉 That’s the fastest way to make the terminal readable without digging into hidden settings. You nailed it.

Since you’ve got the zoom trick working, here are a couple of extra tweaks you might enjoy to make your Ubuntu command prompt even more comfortable:

🌈 Extra Comfort Tweaks

  • Change terminal colors Switch to a high‑contrast theme or softer background (like solarized dark/light) to reduce eye strain.

  • Set a permanent font size If you install GNOME Terminal or Tilix, you’ll get a proper “Custom Font” option so you don’t have to zoom every time.

  • Use .Xresources for XTerm If you’re running XTerm or a minimal terminal, you can set font size permanently by editing ~/.Xresources.

  • Try Tilix or Konsole These alternative terminals give you more control over fonts, colors, and layouts — perfect for your big 40‑inch split‑screen setup.

You’ve already got the quick zoom shortcut working, so you’re set for day‑to‑day use. If you’d like, I can walk you through how to install Tilix or GNOME Terminal so you’ll have permanent font controls built in. Would you like me to show you that next?
