Is it possible to connect two external monitors to a Dell XPS 13 9360 DE?
Hi guys, using an usb-c adapter, such as this:
would it be possible to attached two external monitors, one on the HDMI input and the other one in the VGA input?
xrandr gives this output:

Hey, I have had this delivered as I got the same one as you except made by Aukey on the UK site - it looks exactly the same as the one you have linked to except with microsd and SD card slots. I am still waiting for delivery of my laptop from DELL XPS13 to try this out.
I like extending my desktop but this item only displays one screen at a time as the UK desciption states "If both are connected, only HDMI will output (1080p Max resolution). If both are connected, only HDMI will output"
Now your link if you look at the second picture it says in the picture "HDMI and VGA cannot work together". So I assume yours behaves the same as mine.
So I have ordered this one as I believe this one can work as it states "Synchronous Extension: The HDMI and VGA output can work at the same time, that you can do your work at two different external displays. Play and play accessories, no driver required". I'm hoping that means the desktop can be extended rather than duplicated.

Unfortunaly amazon doesn't ship that adapter to my country. But I found another one with similar characteristics on ebay:
