The monitor itself doesn't have any USB ports. It comes with an unusual 3-wire connector. One end has a unique plug that connects to the back of the monitor. The other 2 ends are USB connectors to your laptop that also provide the power (no power cord). I run it ok just off of one USB to my MacBook Air when I have to (since Airs only come with 2 USB ports) but that can cause it to flash off for a very quick second (literally) every hour or so...I'm guessing it just resets itself due to lack of enough power. So I usually plug both USBs into my laptop - no resets. BTW, I had to purchase a short USB extension to make it reach both sides of my Air (1 USB on each side) because the reach between the 2 USB cords is only about 8". It is a wonderful monitor. I kept the sturdy piece of cardboard that covered the screen when I unpacked it from the box and I use it to continue to protect the screen in the soft black carrying case. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work fine. The one I have only has one USB 3.0 port. I use it on my ultra book and besides the battery draining quickly (which was expected) it works as indicated.
