Product: HP 255 G9 with AMD Ryzen™ 7 5825U
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Hi,

 

I would like to purchase a new laptop (HP 255 G9, AMD Ryzen™ 7 5825U, 15.6" Full HD, 8 GB, 256 GB SSD).

Can I use two external monitors connected at a Hub Adaptor Multiport 12 Docking Station via the USB-C port? The monitors will be connected by HDMI in the Hub, and the hub will be connected to my laptop at the USB-C. 

I need to extend the display, not duplicate, in order to work more efficiently in Microsoft Excel.

I am asking because some laptops are limited to basic file transfer and cannot detect the Hub / Docking Station.

Please help me with some advice.

 

Best regards,

A. Essig.

It ONLY has 1 USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine,
  • Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

 

Please DO NOT buy USB-C hub/dock. That won't work.

 

Regards.

BH
