Connecting Spectre X360 to HDMI while charging

[CS07]

Hi, 

I have a thurderbolt/HDMI extender to connect my Spectre to a screen while working from home. However, this means that I can't charge the laptop at the same time, which causes issues when I'm working a full day. 

Suggestions for a USB/HDMI hub that I can connect to the USB B port on the left of the keyboard, so I can use all accessories while still charging? All the USB/HDMI hubs I'm finding require being connected to the USB C port.

Many thanks

What is a thunderbolt/HDMI extender?

Do you mean a USB type-C to HDMI cable instead?

You did not provide the product number of your notebook.

You should do that so we are on the same page. 

I own a spectre x360 13t-ab000 notebook and I can use either of the USB Type-C ports for charging. If your notebook has two USB Type-C ports you should also be able to do that. 

As far as I am aware there are no USB type B ports that allow for connection to an HDMI. The reason is that they are for data, not display.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply! I have a HP Spectre x360 14-ea0009na Convertible Laptop . 

I have two ports: a USB type C and a USB type C. I need the USB type C to charge the laptop as the charger only fits into that slot. That leaves the USB type C for all other connectivity.

There are USB type B ports that allow connections to HDMI, but they just have the HDMI port and nothing else (as opposed to the USB/HDMI ports that you can connect with a USB Type C  plug), but that would result in me not being able to use other USB devices (i.e. wireless mouse and keyboard).

Either of the the USB 3.2  (thunderbolt) Type-C ports can be used for charging.

You should be using a paired a mouse and keyboard, not mouse and keyboard that require seperate USB dongles.

A paired set generally uses a USB 3.1 type- B port  wireless or bluetooth dongle.

That would still leave you with an available USB 3.2 Type-C thunderbolt port for a USB 3.2 Type-C to HDMI connection cable.

You did not answer my question about the HDMI cable.

Hi,

I unfortunately only have one thunderbolt port. So I can only charge in one place. 

I do use a paired mouse and keyboard set.

I'm sorry but I thought I did answer your question about the HDMI cable. Not sure what else I can add - I have two ports. the one I need for charging is the same one I need to connect to the HDMI port.
