Perfectly Portable PC Problem

I'm trying to build the perfect portable workstation setup, so that I can more freely spend a day working from my partner's home or a week from my parents' kitchen. There one's component that I can't quite seem to find though... is there a USB-C dongle out there that will let connect both a USB-C PD power source and a USB-C monitor at the same time?
So here's the sitch... as part of my portable office setup I've got two big components:
1) A portable monitor. Can be powered off 45W USB-C PD charger, connects to the laptop via second USB-C port. (It can connect and power itself off just one connection to the laptop, if the laptop is plugged into a charger.)
2) A laptop. It only requires 45w to function, though the more the merrier. It only has a single Thunderbolt/USB-C port.
What I'm hoping to accomplish it to have one USB-C PD charger with enough juice to power both, as well as a way to connect both the charger and the monitor to the laptop's single port. I should be able to power off a single 100W charger, of which there are many options. (Though those 3 are my current top picks.) What I can't seem to find is a hub. Most of them are designed to provide USB-A and HDMI ports, which I don't really need in this particular scenario--though they are nice-to-haves. There are some that do have a PD port and a spare USB-C port, but don't offer video over USB-C. Has anyone seen anything that fits this niche? Is there a keyword I'm missing in my searches? |
