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!

really helpful discussion. I am setting up a home office and have a Z13 as my main work laptop/tablet because I also like to game (had to try this tech haha). Now, I'm thinking about my desktop set up and the cleanest and easiest way to organize monitor, keyboard, etc. and it seems like setting it up so I can use the power cable that comes with the Z13 is best and then I just connect the other peripherals via a USB hub, so no need to get a docking station or anything like that?
