This is a 21:9 aspect ratio monitor (ultrawide) not a 16:9, so 1440p is a fairly common resolution. 4k ultrawides (5120×2160 aka 5K 2K) are still somewhat rare at this point, not to mention you'd need something pretty beefy to push that many pixels if you're even thinking about gaming on it. Oh yeah, and would set you back at least a grand more than $250.

By the way, not advocating for this monitor. Some many not be happy with a flat 34" monitor, a curve really helps in this size range. The stand sucks too. Not a terrible price for what it is, but not my cup of tea.
Costco warranty might make it worth it. Amazon has it for 359$. More relevant specs from manf. website:
VA Panel
Brightness 300cd/m2
Resolution 3,440 x 1,440
DP v1.2x1
HDMI v2.0x1, v1.4x1
75 Hz refresh rate
4ms response time

Edit: didn't see OP linked to spec sheet. Sorry for repetition!
I have this monitor. Gets plenty bright. Text is sharp and very readable. No PWM. My screen has no backlight bleed. I am running it at 75Hz through display port off an RTX 3070.

I have gotten used to the widescreen without a curve. Sometimes when web browsing if snap two windows on L/R of screen I never really get comfortable until I put the main window in the middle.

The color is dull (have not calibrated), some color shift if you don't sit in sweet spot (the middle), stand has no height adjustment I could find, and only 75Hz.

It is 1440P and the bezel is thin.

I would of preferred a non matte screen.

I got this cheap from a guy who purchased 50 of these for day trading for his office and went remote due to covid.

Why would anyone buy a non-4K monitor at that size?

I have an LG 34 gaming monitor and the curve definitely helps. It's strange how once you sit down you can't see it anymore. It just blends into your field of view and makes the peripheral experience feel completely natural.

This is about as wide as I'd go for a flat monitor that's relatively close to your eyeballs. I have this monitor but I did end up replacing it with a much higher refresh rate option that's curved and the same size.

I'm thinking 37-38 curved is my sweet spot but don't expect miracles this BF.

i have a macbook air with 2560 x 1600 resolution.

I also have a lenovo 730s laptop with 1,920x1,080 resolution

Both the laptops have only USB C output.

Will this monitor work with these laptops?

What additional hardware would I need?

Thanks in advance

My Costco had display model for 149.98. super YMMV but couldn't be happier for it at that price! Even without the curve it is a solid monitor.
