  • Notebook (generic)

    Has exactly one physical port total — no HDMI, no separate power jack, no audio out. It draws 100% of its power parasitically from whatever host is connected, which will visibly accelerate battery drain on a handheld during a gaming session with no way to offset it via a second cable.
