Looking for decent USB3 hub mainly for tablet

[BrownPaw]

Greetings,

I will be using a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet while backpacking around internationally for awhile as my primary means to communicate, write, etc. I'm looking for suggestions on decent SMALL USB3 hubs that come with a power adapter -- and can thus be bus powered or externally powered.

My primary purpose with the tablet is just for flash drives or maybe keyboard/mouse, so the bus powered should be fine there. But upon returning, I'd also like to use it with my laptop where it may need the external power for some devices.

tldr; Looking for 2+ port USB3 hub, with externally-powered option, as small as possible. Bonus points if it happens to have ethernet as well. Thanks!

No external power though :/

The specs on Dell's web site say the micro USB port on the Venue 8 Pro is just USB 2.0, so a USB 3 hub won't really do anything for you. A USB2 hub would be easier to find, and probably cheaper.

(which does have USB3)

I'm capable of basic Amazon/Newegg searches... I was just hoping that someone was aware of some lesser-known brand without distribution in those usual channels.
