If a laptop, notebook, etc has one or more HDMI or DP monitor ports it can be connected to this display and will show a windows desktop but some graphics devices can not support this monitor's native 32:9 wide 3840x1080 display resolution. As a solution to that issue the monitor also has support for connecting more than one compatible display cable and using its' PBP multi-input display feature as a solution *but* most mobile computing devices don't natively include more than one external display monitor port so a work-around display device might be needed in some cases. It depends much more on the "graphics card" capabilities of a computing device than the type of device ("tower" or laptop) as to whether this monitor would be a suitable choice for it. My 5 year old HP "tower" at work could not do this monitor's native 32:9 display mode so I connected the second monitor port from that tower to this monitor and enabled this monitor's PBP dual inputs mode and now my desktop is a true 32:9 (dual inputs) single desktop screen that runs exactly like having two 1080 monitors connected like I used to have but now this monitor lets me stretch a single window all the way across the whole screen as one continuous window with no screen bezels in the middle which I really like.
