Why this setup works

Multi-device input and a compatible dock reduce cable swapping. A raised stand keeps the inactive laptop vertical or off the primary input zone.

Measurements to confirm

List both laptops’ USB-C capabilities, charging needs, display limits, and employer restrictions before choosing the dock.

Known tradeoffs

One dock may not fully support both systems, especially across Windows and macOS.
