I have one from dell. It has the dell matte finish which I’m not a fan of. It does pass through power so I can put the usbc charge cable on the monitor, then a cable from the monitor to the laptop, to avoid using 2 usbc ports on the laptop. Because of the cable layout I can’t put it right up next to the laptop.
It folds down and is light but I only put it in my bag if I know I’m goin to use it.
I’d get another but I would get Lenovos model to hopefully have the same style finish in the screen.
Can it not be powered via the same cable the display goes over? I only have one usb c port and would rather not have multiple cables for it at all if I can help it
Yes, it has two usbc ports and does charging pass through. You just need a decent usb-c cable between the monitor and the laptop. I think usb3.2 or thunderbolt4 are the protocols that can do video and power.
