Monitor that can charge 2 laptops

Question

Do dell do a monitor with 2 thunderbolt? ports that can charge 2 laptops at 60W and allow me to switch between them?

charging at the same time isn't required.

Would be Dell laptops.

What is the smallest monitor that could do that?

No. Dell does not have a monitor with two 140W or 90W Thunderbolt 4/DP 1.4 alt mode upstream Video + Data ports.

We offer the single 140W or 90W Thunderbolt 4/DP 1.4 alt mode upstream Video + Data port and the second 15W Thunderbolt 4 downstream Video + Data port for daisy chaining the second Thunderbolt computer.

Thanks So it will do it, but the second port only does 15w?

DELL-ChrisM2 · Answer

Yes. Example the U4025QW User's Guide page 16/17 =

Ok, thanks. So its downstream.

I guess I will have to use the second monitor to charge and display the image of the 2nd laptop.

And if I select the primary monitor to display port input / USB-B I could route the KM to the 2nd laptop (using AtoB cable between monitors)

Well I have 2 dell monitors with in built hubs next to each other.

P2424HEB & P2419HC in this case.

One has an HP laptop plugged in, the other a Dell. (via USB-C TB)

A have 2 display port cables crossing. So one laptop can run dual monitors and the other can run dual monitors.

or one laptop per monitor.

The P2424HEB has a KM switch, so I can use that to switch those inputs over to the other laptop.

USB-B to USB-A cable

I have plugged a second mouse into the P2419HC as that seems sensible. (and a cam)

Elevatably, there are times I'm pressing the keyboard when its not connected to the right laptop.

I'll have to see how it goes, may try the same setup with a P2422HE and U2422HE
