    Why not using small usbc splitter? Like 7 in 1

    Edit:

    The splitter or hub gives you 3 usbs, usbc, hdmi, Ethernet, sd card reader and charge your device.

    Similar to laptop docks for 1/10th of the price.

        Instead of having many dongles just buy a splitter and that’s it.

        It’ll have 3 usbs, usbc, hdmi, Ethernet, sd card reader and power pass through.

      Because they heat very easily, suffer throttleneck problems (Ethernet+HDMI+copytoUSB = sudden drop in Ethernet)

        yeah i have a few of them and they all get extremely hot, plus they look ugly as hell. usually a super short cord so right where my mouse would be is a blazing hot ugly box with a bunch of cables and junk sticking out. and if you accidentally jiggle it or move the laptop too much the whole thing blanks out for a second interrupting work flow.

        By splitter I mean small docking station. I use it daily and never had issues. I plug a mouse, hdmi, and Ethernet cable as well as power pass through.

        Some do, others don’t. It helps to check out reviews and ask around before buying.
