Anyone here uses a Windows laptop with their 27” Apple Studio Display? I have some questions 😅

And no this is not my normal setup, I have a Mac Mini but my company issued laptop is Windows based. And no i don’t have the space to buy a non apple monitor to plug my laptop into. 😂

If no one using then how they know? Lol!

Anyway when i connect laptop to Apple Display, the laptop doesn’t have an option to “extend display” where i can drag an item from laptop screen to Apple Display & vice versa. I can only duplicate so both screen show same thing.

But in the office the laptop has extend display option. Anyone know how to overcome this shortcoming?

What is your Windows laptop model?
Your experience differs from other Windows laptop users.

Intel or AMD?

If it is Intel, then it is likely USB-C cable issue or port issue. Need to use Thunderbolt 4 certified cable.

Intel. I am using the Thunderbolt 5 cable that came with the Studio Display leh.

I only have access to to one Apple Studio Display i.e mine 😅 But it works fine with the Samsung monitor at work. No wasnt aware of that lenovo usb-c issue.

The port should be working if it works with other monitors. This narrows down the problem to

1. Cable: since you didn't use the same cable to test other monitors, I suggest that you do test the same cable with other monitors. Also try swap the direction of the cable between monitor and laptop.

2. Lenovo GPU, motherboard and BIOS drivers: ensure they are up to date.

Hopefully the problem can be solved.
