I haven't used that specific display, but if it has a displayport then it should work. I'm currently running both a 1080p 144hz and a 1600x1200 60 hz display through this adapter:

I've had no problems driving both displays through the one port at the same time. So if the question is whether the laptop will do it, the answer is yes definitely. Assuming of course that the laptop in question is a G14.
I don't know that it hit gigabit speeds, but I used a USB-C hub with ethernet for exactly the reason you stated. It ensured Plex playback was always smooth.
1/2 of my 22 drives are external hdd’s are powered already (wd my books etc) but I have a ton of the powered by usb types (wd my passport) too and didn’t want it taking power from a pc that has 3 nvme’s and 4 raided ssd’s plotting and 4 hdd’s internal plus the gpu is mining eth.

Just picked this up works great and the google one is only 100mb where this is gb
Yes but there is no physical port. You can get the official Ethernet/Power adapter, or a generic USB-C Ethernet hub would be more flexible.

If using a higher wattage power brick doesn't help, bad hub?
For me, this one works with the original power brick for CCwGTV + ethernet + webcam.
I almost bought the Google one but it's 10 bucks for shipping... I found an article listing a few that were tested with the chromecast and bought this one from Amazon....
One like this should work fine for you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0746NKVBN/
I replied a similar question in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxOnThinkpad/comments/myv80i/which_docking_stations_would_work_with_thinkpad/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
It does support ethernet but doesn't have the physical port. You would also need
Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast with Google TV - Google Store
or a USB-C hub like
I use this one. Worked and still does also gives you Ethernet and USB 3 ;)

I bought the predecessor (now discontinued) model to this hub and I haven't looked back. No SD though.
I don't have my S21 yet, but I have this adapter, and it works with my current Note 8. The only negative about it is that your device powers the adapter, and the screen stays on, so it will significantly drain your battery. I can watch a movie from my Note 8 with it, but it helps to start with a decent amount of charge, as well as turning the phone's screen brightness all the way down. There's another model adapter, also by Anker, that I saved to order later, that has a charging input, but of course I can't say whether it works yet. Anker 6-in-1 hub
I'm using an Anker 6-in-1 hub and really like it.

I have the new Chromecast (CCWGTV) - couple gotcha's - no fast-forward/back yet as the 'wheel' (D-pad I believe it's called) isn't implemented yet. Sometimes no sound with JF though same video works fine with Roku (using external receiver). Some Wi-Fi issues - connect to 5G and you're ok (I bought a hub and use ethernet). Tried Kodi w/ JF but still some issues. For everything else the CC is fantastic, really great, just a matter of the JF Android TV App software catching up. Roku (I have Ultra) is also early in implementation but seems to work better for JF - Roku is also fantastic for the other services. Can't speak for Amazon stick.
I've seen USB hubs with switches to turn off specific ports. You could set up the controllers, wire the switch up to an exterior panel (or leave the buttons exposed) and use the button to enable/disable controllers.

That is literally the first result from amazon, but I've seen 8 port ones with physical switches as well, which you may be able to extend out of the cabinet.
I have a Satechi USB-C hub that I mainly use for my Mac Book. I have plugged it into my S8 and successfully used the HDMI to broadcast my S8's screen to a monitor or TV. The USB ports also work for external storage!
Pros:
Strong build quality.
Lots of connectivity (3 USB A, 1 USB C, HDMI, Ethernet, SD card, Micro SD card)
Cons:
Price ($80 USD)
Gets warm after lots of use
So by going into the adapter settings of the IRIS graphics I was able to "List all modes" and find the 5120x1440 30Hz option. Obviously not ideal, but at least I finally got the right aspect ratio to open some windows. Maybe has something to do with my adapter? I have this one.
Tried a usb-c dongle that I use on my macbook pro (didn't bother with testing ethernet). No go- power didn't pass through (when power does pass through the stepper motors start their alignment process). This is the only dongle I have with usb-c/ethernet.
I'm using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0746NKVBN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fbtEFbHJX4NHF
And it works great. I'm running one 1080p 144 hz display and one 1600x1200 at the same time with no problems.
Just make sure if you go with a USB-C adapter that you don't get a super cheap one. I started out with a cheaper one and the video stability was awful. It's definitely worth it to buy something decent.
People are suggesting USB-C to ethernet adapters, but there's no reason that USB-C is better than USB 3.0. A USB 3.0 link has already more bandwidth than gigabit ethernet anyway. Just get whichever one you can more readily give up a USB port for. Or if you're short on ports overall, you can get one that also works as a USB hub. I have this one and it works great, the detachable cable at both ends is sometimes handy.
So you can buy a USB-C Hub like this Amazon and plug an ethernet cable directly into the hub. There was a post last night where someone was able to connect a mouse, keyboard, ethernet, and I believe an external HD via a USB-C hub.

I run naked as I just prefer that. I like to keep it thin and I’m very careful with my stuff. For an adapter I use this one: Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2-4K HDMI (30Hz), Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C Pass-Through, SD/Micro Card Slots, USB 3.0 for 2016/2017/2018 MacBook Pro, 2015/2016/2017 MacBook and More (Space Gray) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FW7H5J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_E-gMBb8VA6191
It’s incredible. Has everything you’ll need IMO and I love the addition of Ethernet.
I use this one because it was recommended by others and it works:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085XZGVN5/
But USB external storage is frustratingly slow vs internal storage, even though I got a quality, fast Samsung USB flash drive.
So, your chromebook seem to be USB-C/Thunderbolt only. You will need something like this sabrent hub to output. Plug the USB-C to HDMI adapter in, plug one side of the HDMI into the TV and the other to the adapter. Switch inputs.
You don't have to carry them around though, unless you are carrying your dock around? If you just leave the dock attached to a TV you can also leave the adapter and extender connected to it.
If you do want a dock you can carry around, I got this one for that purpose. It works great. Official Valve one stays by my TV, this one stays in my backpack.
> I do know that he’s been hacking DS’s to emulate
Trust me on this one. Grab a USB-C dock/dongle. Official one is $90, but this one for around $17 works beautifully for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08V3PHKR8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
That paired with any old USB mouse, USB keyboard, and any old HDMI Monitor or old TV laying around means they can dock the system and use it as a desktop PC, which will also come in handy for some of the more interesting things a motivated technologically inclined person can do with a Steam Deck.
Warning, next thing you know your son knows stuff about Linux and ends up in a career in IT later in life lol
You sound cool for encouraging these interests. The Deck comes with Case and Charger, with this one little extra thing you can really expand how convenient it is to do all sorts of other things with it.
