The practical answer

The iDock M10 is the strongest MacBook-plus-PC option with up to 100W Power Delivery (PD). The KD-E20 is better for two USB-C Windows laptops. In both cases, check whether the charger is included and connect the wattage the laptop needs.

Product-specific limits
  • Native dual extended displays use two USB-C ports on a supported MacBook.
  • The Mac itself must support two external displays in the intended mode; the KVM cannot create a second native display stream.
  • 3440×1440 is limited to 60Hz and a 5120×1440 display falls back to 3840×1080.
  • The Windows host still needs suitable display outputs for both monitors.
  • high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh support are not confirmed in the published specification.

AV Access KD-E20

Compatible with stated limitations

What this means for you: Up to 100W charging for two USB-C laptops, but dual displays depend on DisplayPort 1.4 Multi-Stream Transport (MST) and Macs will mirror.

Product-specific limits
  • The manufacturer states that macOS mirrors the two external displays on this USB-C Multi-Stream Transport (MST) topology rather than extending them.
  • Dual 4K60 requires both laptops to expose suitable DisplayPort video over USB-C.
  • The laptop's own USB-C power adapter is required to provide up to 100W charging.
  • high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh support are not confirmed in the published specification.

Product-specific limits
  • This model is primarily designed for Apple Studio Display and selected Thunderbolt displays; standard USB-C displays are not guaranteed.
  • HDMI or DisplayPort monitors require compatible third-party USB-C video adapters, and the manufacturer says stability can vary.
  • A USB-C connector alone does not establish compatibility; the host needs compatible Thunderbolt or validated USB4 capability.
  • The manufacturer states that actual resolution and refresh depend on the computers, displays, cables and system configuration.
  • Charging is limited to 60W per compatible computer.
  • TESmart states that Intel Thunderbolt certification is still in progress.
  • high dynamic range (HDR) and variable refresh support are not confirmed in the published specification.

Compatibility constraints

  • A 100W-capable KVM cannot supply 100W without a suitable charger and cable.
  • Some performance laptops accept 100W but still discharge slowly under peak load.
  • Charging capability does not prove that the same USB-C port carries the required display streams.

Recommended setup sequence

  1. Check the laptop's normal charger wattage.
  2. Confirm the KVM's power-adapter arrangement and whether adapters are included.
  3. Use e-marked 5A USB-C cables for 100W.
  4. Measure charging behaviour during a sustained workload.
