I have a Windows laptop with a two USB-C ports - and I only use 1 - and it's connected to my monitor.

My monitor acts as a dock. My monitor is powering my laptop, handling the video output, and has the keyboard, mouse, headset, and camera connected to it.

All I have to do is plugin one cable and I'm done. It's a good setup. The monitor even has a monitor-to-monitor hub so if I get a second monitor, all I have to do is connect the two monitors. Still only one cable coming to my laptop.

I have a Windows laptop with two USB-C ports and a Surface Connect port. The Surface Connect port is connected to the docking station at work or the charger when travelling (I can also charge with the USB-C ports actually). One of the USB-C ports is usually occupied by a key dongle, the other rarely sees any use. The only time I wished for more ports was when I had to juggle files between more than two external storage devices without a dock.

We have exactly this set up at work and I've never had a single issue with it. One usb c cable from one monitor to my laptop, which provides power and gets me two 24 inch monitors. I take video calls all day and never have any lag across the 3 screens (including tbe laptop screen).

If I wanted to I could plug my headphones (3.5mm or usb) into the monitor which is also a USB hub.

What monitor do you use?

[taylodl]

ASUS ProArt Display 27" Monitor

Amazon had a good deal on it a few months ago

It's only 75Hz. Why can't they make a decent pro monitor with a reasonable refresh rate?
