As I understand if you want it to do everything your laptop port does and expect to be able to use more than one port at a time there is absolutely no way around external power. And if you can only use one port at a time it's an adapter not a hub. You're asking for the impossible.
- alistairSH 4y agoDoes the onboard (to the laptop) USB-C port/controller not pass enough power for more than one port? Or just not enough power to provide "full power" to extra ports? I'd be happy to compromise that aspect as long as the various other data specs are met. I'm not trying to charge several big devices here, just AirPods and a phone, plus run two external monitors. And since I need to use one of the USB-C on the laptop to charge the laptop, I'm one port short sometimes.
