A:AnswerYes, model number 81CU0009US, has a Thunderbolt port. This model is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. There is one RAM memory slot available in addition to the 8GB RAM soldered to the motherboard, so your certified technician can add an additional 8GB of RAM. This model does not have Gorilla Glass on the screen.
A:AnswerI bought my Yoga 730 1.5 years ago and I am definitely having the screen flickering issue. Not sure if that is the new model or not. But this is a known problem and Lenovo is not doing anything about it. Terrible.
A:AnswerYes, the Lenovo Yoga 730-15 is compatible with the Bamboo active pen. Here is a link to an example of a compatible active/digital pen for the Yoga 730-15: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wacom-bamboo-ink-smart-stylus-black/5731102.p?skuId=5731102
A:AnswerSince a Lenovo Product Expert said that "This model number 81CU0009US, has Thunderbolt 3.0 at 40Gb/s." I would assume that it has four lanes because according to the website down below, if it had two lanes, it would be running at roughly 16Gbps. Four lanes runs at roughly 40Gbps.

A:AnswerI had mine upgraded to one terabyte NVME drive from Corsair and it works perfectly.
The technician just cloned the old drive onto the new one and installed it and booted it up.
