Practical tips
When using the dongle, plug it into a USB‑C port that supports power delivery if you need to charge your laptop while connected. For best video performance, connect one HDMI port to an external monitor and the other to a TV or projector, the hub will handle dual‑display output without lag. The Ethernet jack provides reliable wired networking, useful when Wi‑Fi is spotty. If you plan to use the SD card reader frequently, consider using a high‑speed card to maximise transfer rates.
