PC monitor and data storage

Hi 
Not really a techie person, but does this monitor have data storage capacity? Wanting to link up to a works laptop but need to check that the information from my works laptop won’t get saved to the monitor.
This is the monitor https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7817186

hope it makes sense
thanks

No it's a screen , don't worry about not being techie it's often quite refreshing

As above, it has no storage capacity.

No monitor has data storage facilities.  All they do is display a video signal.

Thanks, this information has really alleviated my anxieties. Is there any display option I need to select so that the info from my laptop is displayed on my monitor? When I set it up

That is a HDMI monitor so just plug a HDMI cable in from laptop to monitor.  And power to monitor, obviously

Hi
Got the work laptop set up and working brilliantly. However I have a MacBook Pro air which I want to connect  up to the monitor at weekends. MacBook has a thunderbolt port. What’s the cheapest and simplest way to connect the MacBook ? What adapter do I need to buy? Thanks in advance

Does Thunderbolt mean Mini Display Port or does it mean USB-C?

If the former ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter/dp/B00NH13K8S
If the latter ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Adapter-Supports-Macbook-Chromebook/dp/B01MYUCWOK

Bottom picture, far right port.  That is a mini displayport.  Thunderbolt 1 & 2 use the mini displayport and Thunderbolt 3 uses USB-C ports.

So the 1st link in my previous post relates. (I'm not recommending that specific unit - that was merely an example from a search).
