Is GMKtec K11 compatible with Thunderbolt 5?

I'm looking into purchasing a K11 in combination with a Gigabyte Aorus RTX 5060 Ti eGPU. The GPU doesn't have an Oculink port but does have Thunderbolt 5 ports, meanwhile the K11 has USB4 rather than specifically Thunderbolt. Would these still be compatible? or is there a better way to link these up?

Doubting My Purchase, Need Advice

I've had a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16" for about 3.5 years and just yesterday it broke beyond repair. The charging port had stopped working, I got it fixed, and then it broke again a month later. Found a temporary fix and the time until it broke again just got shorter and shorter until it was no longer usable.

Today I went to get a new one and after asking someone at the store I went to, I was recommended the Legion 7a g11. It's fine, but the soldered ram and seemingly worse performance than my old Pro 5 upon first booting it up is giving me doubts. It was also quite a bit more expensive than I was expecting (but I know part of that is just because of how much computer prices have risen in general).

I am a 3D artist and while I do game the most intensive thing I can imagine running is Elden Ring on medium settings. Ideally I'd also like the ability to increase RAM and storage if necessary.

Is there a cheaper, better option than what I currently have, better suited to my needs?

I'm not super knowledgeable on all of the specs but I can answer any questions if I forgot to clarify anything. Also swift responses are appreciated, as I only have about 2 weeks to return this new laptop if there's a better option out there.

Thank you!

Question about tokens

Hi! I've been making my own custom proxies and I was just wondering what the rules/general etiquette consensus is around cards that create tokens: If I'm making a proxy of a card that creates a specific type of token, would it be considered fine for me change the name of that token on the card, given it's to a proxy of the same token with that nickname?

Random example: Changing a card that creates Cat tokens to instead make "Hamburger" tokens, where a Hamburger token is just a proxy of a cat token.
