    is it externally powered? it has to get power from somewhere. If the only cable going to the monitor is the DP or HDMI cable, then yes. it’s draining the laptop. VGA doesn’t carry power- those would be universally externally powered. Though I’m not sure there’s any laptops that have VGA outputs still.
