- Re: Can I use two external displays with my HP Spectre x360 ...

I have an HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-ae0xx. I would like to hook it up to two external displays, each using HDMI-HDMI cables. Ideally, I would like to use:
- 1x HP USB-C to Multi-port Hub
- 1x HP Spectre USB-C Travel Dock
Each of the above has an HDMI port and they will plug into the 2x USB-C ports in the laptop. I can also plug the charging cable into the additional USB-C port in the HP USB-C to Multi-port Hub for charging.
Assuming I don't mind whether or not the laptop screen is used (as a third display) when connected to the two external displays. In fact, I probably wouldn't want to use it.
Question:
Will this setup work as I'd like it to, while still being able to charge? If not, what is the hardware/software deficiency I'd need to overcome to make it work?

So you want one of these:

And one of these:

This would work as you envision but it seems overkill to need 2 docks.
I used an Iogear GUD3C02 with my Spectre which passes through the charging and then has an HDMI and mini-DP which can be used with a mini-DP to HDMI adapter to have 2 screens connected to the dock by HDMI. I am using it now with the laptop that replaced my Spectre with 2 screens connected. I personally prefer to use a DP connection for displays but the HDMI works.
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thanks Huffer. It's not so much that I "want" one each of those. It's that I have easy access to those items so I could avoid purchasing something else if it works.
One last question: Why do you prefer mini-DP over HDMI for displays? What is the benefit?
