The Samsung Multiport Adapter is an interface extension for Chromebooks with USB-C ports, giving users more connection types with one simple dongle.
For this particular device, we are looking at a single USB-C cable being split into HDMI, USB 3.0, and a pass-through USB-C port.
What this means is you can plug your display, USB accessories, and charger into this adapter and leave it sitting on your desk for when you sit down to work.

At that point, you simply plug in a single cable to your Chromebook and you are fully connected to accessories and displays.
Another use would be for home entertainment. With a USB dongle for a keyboard/mouse combo and HDMI connected to the TV or reciever, simply plug in your Chromebook via this single connection and you can sit on the couch and control the entire interface.
This is as simple as it gets, folks. Plug and play at its best.
And you can snag it for $35 on Amazon, too, Until we see everything move over to USB-C, we live in a dongle world.
This one is clean, simple, and works without a lot of effort on any USB-C Chromebook. Highly recommended.
