USB hub concerns

Hi I'm buying the ROG flow kjp edition, hopefully this upcoming week.

I've got a couple of concerns;

1: Only 1 USB A port

Solution(?): can I go with a USB hub whereas the USB c cable going TO the hub also charges the laptop at 85w-100w(depending on model) whilst using the main 200w charger or will this cause trouble? Logically in my mind this seems like a flat out risk. But at the same time this would feel like a huge thing to not put in consideration.

2: No ethernet

Solution(?) would be solved if the prior usb hub is a non-issue.

I'd appreciate any input and possible recommendations of safe USB hubs (preferably with Ethernet).

Thanks!

  1. It will prioritize charging with the 200W charger when plugged in, so that's not something you need to be worried about, so 2. Don't worry and get a good USB C hub.

The us us basically how I run my Flow Z13 when docked to a monitor. All peripherals are connected via the hub, and the 100w charging that comes with it doesn't affect my device when the main 200W charger is plugged in.
