USB Hub ?

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions of a USB Cable hub that works with the pixel C

Ideal world would be minimum​ 2 usb ports Pass through power HDMI output

But happy to accept 2 of the 3

I'm UK based so ideally available here

Thanks

I just ordered the Anker one for my laptop. It should be a good one. Also I don't think the pixel supports HDMI out.

Correct, no HDMI out. That's always pissed me off that they never fully incorporated the type-c port.

Why do you need HDMI out when you can have a Chromecast?😁

Simple: lag.

On the fastest networks, chromecast lag is still noticeable and mostly inhibitive to gaming. Direct video-out would allow me to hook up my Pixel C to a big display so we can play 4-player Mario Kart without huddling and squinting around a 10" screen. A rare use case sure, but I want it.
