USB-C Hub
A USB-C hub is a small adapter breaking a single port into HDMI, USB, ethernet, and power passthrough — effectively a portable dock. It is a great travel companion, but quality varies wildly: weak power passthrough throttles the handheld under load, cheap HDMI controllers cap refresh, and thermal design in a tiny shell is real. For occasional docking a good hub is plenty; for a permanent big-screen setup, confirm it sustains your target output while charging under gaming load.
