pThe Chromebook computer (the HP version anyway) sucks big walrus cock if you're a Windows user.
Santa Clause came early and left me one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: No conventional USB ports. 2: No mouse/mouse support. 3: No CAPS-Lock. 4: No right-clicking. 5: Runs Linux.

If you have a USB-C port you can connect a multi-port standard USB hub with a male USB-C plug to it. As for a mouse, get a wireless mouse and plug the mouse's signal reciever USB into the hub. You'll be all set. The caps lock you're on your own. Try not to type in all caps.  |

I found out a short time after posting this that it does have a USB-C port; my USB dongle with micro-USB card slot should be able to work straight away as a card reader.

My 4-port USB hub came today; I successfully copied a bunch of files and subdirectories from a MicroSD chip to the computer with it.

Cool. Does the USB hub also have a MicroSD slot, or did you plug a separate card reader into the USB hub? Some four port hubs have an a/c adapter that plugs into an outlet to power it. |

I have to plug a separate dongle into one of the USB-A ports in the hub.

I used one for years. Doesn't your Chromebook have a touchpad, BTW? |
