Question about a laptop

[magicammo]

hello all just a quick question so i just ordered the asus g15 advantage edition that im going to eventually use as a desktop once i get my set up back and I just noticed it only has one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C that supports DP and PD. My question is since I'm going to need to drive an external display what can I do since theres only one port? Am I able to use a hub like https://www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/dell-adapter-usb-c-to-hdmi-dp-with-power-pass-through/apd/492-bctu/pc-accessories or will it be more complicated than that?

Yea I saw this and it made me hesitant to buy it but its a good deal for what you're getting. What i failed to realize is the lack of a mini DP or a second usb 3.2 type C with DP and im not sure if I'd be able to use the hub like the one mentioned above.

Well you can just use direct usb c to dp cable for that...

Or you meant something different?

So the laptops charging port is the usb 3.2 type C but that same port acts as the display port as well. I'm wanting to dock this laptop eventually and just use it as a desk top with it plugged into an external display. that being said its going to need to charge as well could I use that dell hub since it has power passthrough and use the displayport that on the hub to drive my primary display? i looked into it and the hub only offers up to 90w charging and the laptop is 100watt

bahahaha I'm an idiot..... I was under the impression that the usb type c was the charging port like with some other laptops.. Didnt realize there was a dedicated port as well. so i can just get a usb 3.2 type c ge 2 to DP never mind ahahah

Owwh... Ok

Yes the one you listed can do that

But the Laptop already has its own dedicated charging port (unless im mistaken and asus include a pd charger instead of normal one)

 

Anyway you might interested checked this website for dock with 100w usb c capabilities

yea im a dum dum for this one ahaha. Since the usb typc C can be used as a display driver or to charge i thought that it was the dedicated charging port xDD. Thanks for the link with the docks I may actually use one later on and thanks for being patient while my brain slowly processed this ahah
