I use a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter for the Mac: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075V27G2R/

I use a PC as well and that’s connected to the HDMI input and you can switch between from the monitor controls.

That adapter doesn't provide power, right? I assume you just have the power connected to the laptop too and you're good to go.

That’s correct. I’m using a Mini so that’s not an issue but with a laptop you’d have to connect power and the monitor separately.

Lenovo sell one that does provide power.
