Laptop actively loses power when plugged into the monitor, so not really.
I barely travel. It’s about replacing the 10+ chargers I have in my house, car, work and bags. I also don’t get the want for one charger. It’s annoying as hell to only have 1 charger. I’d rather have an individual one for every device tbh
It’s less about having one physical charger and more about having one charging cable standard so you’re not wanting for one cable when you mistakenly grabbed another…. You can have 50 charging cables and 50 bricks for all 50 of your devices if you’d like. The convenience comes with the fact that they all take the same connector. Standardization simplifies life and actually will make upgrading cheaper because you’re not locked into a proprietary standard.
I can completely empathize with not wanting to update all of your chargers, but as someone who has recently gone through part of it, I’m 110% onboard with everything being unified like this.
I like everything having their own tbh. Everything has its own charger in a specific spot. I don’t really find any convenience in having one connector. I genuinely would rather have individual connectors.
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.

That’s just you then, dude.
I like being able to use my the same charger universally with my and my families:
I detest the:
This is great stuff.
Honestly I can say I have none of those things. My (brand new 2-3 years ago) iPad is still lightning.
Lightning works great as a power delivery system. That’s all I need it for, and it does that as well as I need.
