Hi,
Hoping someone can help me. I'm looking for a USB hub for myself, and also one for my dad.

#1 - I have USB c on my laptop, and I'd like to connect Gb Ethernet, and connect both my external monitors (DVI input only - but currently I use 1x HDMI to DVI cable, and 1xMini DisplayPort to DVI cable) - plus a few USB3 ports of course. My MSI laptop doesn't do charging-via-USBc, so I'm not worried about that feature (sadly)

#2 - My dad's lenovo laptop only has USB A 3.0 ports, annoyingly. Is there anything that will allow him to connect his Gb Ethernet, 1x screen and a few USB ports, or is that not feasible with USB3.0?
I'm in the UK if that matters.

Thanks in advance.
 
From what I've learned in the last 24hrs - Seems that whilst they might have a monitor output, it won't be fed from the GPU in the laptop, but rather just a basic graphics card inside the hub.

True/False?
