Can I charge my 16" MacBook Pro M1 via a USBC connection from a monitor giving 60w?
Hi all,
I am thinking if getting a BenQ SW270C Monitor for photo editing with my MacBook Pro M1. (because it displays 99% Adobe RGB).
It has a USB3 / Thunderbolt 3 power port with a 60W output.
Will this when connected to my MBP M1 deliver power? I appreciate that it is less than half the power of the 140W adaptor. But if it works at all, I am sure 60W will be sufficient to maintain charge while I work.
Any thoughts on the best cable to use? Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 or USBC?
(my inclination is to use a Thunderbolt 4 cable then there would be plenty of headroom in bandwidth with data and power. )
Thanks from any comments from any one who has done this or similar already!
