The recently announced Huawei Matedock should be able to do what you want:

Don't know when it'll be available though, but it seems they are targeting March.

You're welcome! I'll probably get one myself once it's available, seeing as it has both VGA and HDMI.
Thanks .

USB-C to USB-A adapter with charging USB-C port
This lets you plug in a USB-to-ethernet adapter (or any other USB peripheral), while still charging using your regular USB-C charger. There are many USB-to-ethernet adapters out there. I have this one; works fine, though takes some seconds to establish a link on occasion. If you don't care about gigabit speed, you can find 10/100 adapters for less $.

Nice find!
However, it states that it will charge at 14.5V 1.5A (21.75W) which is lower than what the charger is rated at (29W). Do you use it? If so, does it charge at a reasonable speed?

Yes, I use it, but with a different charger (this Google-made charger), which is only 15W. So it charges more slowly anyway. I haven't tested it with my regular Apple charger. I keep the Google charger and this USB adapter and ethernet adapter at work; at home I have the Apple AV adapter with HDMI out so I can use my external monitor.
Where i conect the usb-c ? sorry dont understand.

You plug the adapter directly into your macbook, then the charger into the other USB c port on the adapter. Then you will need a USB A (normal USB) to ethernet adapter that you plug into the USB A port.
sorry but i cant see any usb-c port on the adapter (im sorry may be i being stupid)
There is one female and one male USB C port on the adapter (one sticking out and one in).

Also, the MateBook dock has USB 2 ports, not USB 3, according to digital trends.

I use the Apple USB-C adapter as well which of course has HDMI and charging.
For Ethernet, I use this ASUS adapter which as a bonus is also a Wi-Fi router. In hotel rooms in China the wired Ethernet often has more reliability and speed and connecting my iPhone and iPad to this mini router allows me to skip those annoying hotel login screens too. Plug this in to my RMB and instantly have all 3 of my travel devices online. One of my favorite accessories.

You know you can use your macbook as a Wifi router without that adapter too? I did that with my old rMBP when in a Hong Kong hotel. Connected via Thunderbolt --> Ethernet adapter then made a wireless hotspot on my rMBP for my iPhone.

Nice. I run Windows 10 exclusively on my RMB, so I don't think I have that capability.
BJ
Oh, yeah running Windows will make it a bit harder for you. But there is a way!
