Charging your Mac
How many watts can the screen deliver to the MacBook?
One of the best things about a USB-C monitor is that it charges the laptop while you work. Here is exactly how much power a Kuycon monitor provides, and what that covers.
Up to 100 W over one cable
The upstream USB-C port delivers up to 100 W of Power Delivery. That is the same cable that carries the picture, so the Mac charges and displays at once, with no separate power brick on the desk.
100 W comfortably charges a MacBook Air and covers most MacBook Pro 14-inch workloads, keeping the battery topped up through a normal working day.
When you might still want the charger
A MacBook Pro 16-inch under a sustained heavy load, such as long exports or rendering, can draw more than 100 W. It will still charge slowly over USB-C, but for peak demand its own charger is the safe bet.
For everyday coding, writing, browsing and video calls, a single USB-C cable to the monitor keeps any current MacBook charged without a second thought.
All charge over USB-C
Each model provides up to 100 W to the Mac over the upstream USB-C port.
