    I mean I definitely travel with more than one, but it’s nice knowing that I don’t have to worry about forgetting to pack a specific charger for that one specific thing and only realizing it when it’s too late.

    Your monitor might not be supplying your laptop with power, but that doesn’t mean it can’t do it. If it can output to a display, then it is a thunderbolt port and can definitely charge it.

      Monitor can’t provide enough power for the laptop. It was explicitly labeled as not power delivery when I bought the monitor. The output isn’t enough to charge a 2017 gaming laptop with a D-GPU.
