That's a Lenovo E480. There are two other USB-A and a USB-C and HDMI on the other side, plus you can't see behind the dongles but there's an ethernet port on the laptop as well.
I only have two complaints with what I'm looking at. One is there's probably not enough power for whatever you have connected to all of those USB things. And two, there's not enough support for the port that you're plugging this into to resist the weight of all of the dongles, which could damage the motherboard.
What if they're external drives with their own power supplies? I've done things nearly this convoluted, but used self powered devices.
Then you're just constrained by the data bandwidth

What do you think will break first with enough downward force? The port, or the motherboard solder joints holding the weight?
No this is a schooner.
