havent seen a single cable for it that i would personally use. any recommendations on what to use? thinking about using it as ethernet port, as my ultrabook does not offer an ethernet port.

are hubs working? like hdmi, 2x usb, ethernet ones? do they get enough wattage?

It's faster than USB 3.0 and also makes plugging in the cable easier

It's smaller and can be turn on either sides. Hopefully it will be universal for all phones and instead of current USB A, B and micro.
Some USB-C port also has Thunderbolt PCI-E which can be used for external monitors or external graphic cards.

A device that implements USB-C does not necessarily implement USB 3.1, USB Power Delivery, or Alternate Mode.
Could easily be 3.0 without higher wattage.

Just think at the A, B and C USB types as the actual size and how many pins there are.
While if it's version 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 is the actually speed.
With the additional pins from the type C it can also have these alternate modes: DP, Thunderbolt, MHL or HDMI.

You can output video over USB-C.
