My MacBook Pro 16 charges while connected to my LG monitor via a USB-C cable. If I plug the wall charger USB-C cable into my MacBook, will it charge using both cables, pick one, or neither?
Curious because I'm not sure if the monitor is actually delivering enough juice to the MacBook and I don't want to potentially fry the computer by plugging in the charger at the same time.
MacBook Pro
The monitor is powered by the Mac
Yes you want your charger plugged in

Thank you! The monitor is plugged into its own power supply. It's been feeding power to the Mac fine for the last month or so. Still curious if the mac will charge via 2 usb cables at the same time though. :)
