I'm looking to get a USB-C Hub like the one in the image, there are several of those.
What I understand is that all of these hubs, no matter the brand, they take out 2 USB-C in exchange for 2 USB Type-C and several USB Type-A and SD Card slots, etc.
The little Lightning icon means that it is the port used to charge the MacBook… but my question is this:
Can the other USB-C (not the one with the lightning icon) be used to send video to an external display? Example: With a USB-C to DisplayPort cable (not 4K)
