Help wanted with oculus laptop setup :)

I'm wanting to use my oculus to run light games while i'm away from home... I have a powerful enough lapop but the only problem is it only has 2 USB ports (and one usb type c)!!!!!! I need at least 4 to get the rift to work as intended in a room scale setup. I looked into a usb hub solution and wanted to get your inputs on which hub I should use or weather or not it would properly work! Thanks for the help :).

One last thing, Here's the exact laptop I'd be using:https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/xps-15/spd/xps-15-9570-laptop

 I know it doesn't really meet the requirements for vr (laptop 1050ti should work still for games like beat saber) I want to give it a shot!

My pc specs are as follows:

GTX 1080 GPU

intel i7 6700k CPU

16GB Ram

2TB HDD

500G SSD

Gigabyte Gaming 7 Motherboard

I would think there could be an issue with the drivers working with the VR setup if you're using the hub, but I'm not for sure. Also most hubs are similar so I'd go for one that isn't too cheap. Good luck with running VR on your laptop that GPU gonna be running hot
