Yes, I know it's a full tablet, but: When you connect it to a computer to use it as a monitor, can you keep doing the tablet things on it or does it transmorph itself into a plain monitor? Are there two modes (monitor vs e.g. connected storage device) you can switch between or can you use the two modes in parallel?

Complicated thing, tons of questions arise.

COMPUTER ---- (HDMI) ---> MONITOR
and the monitor has a separate power cable.

This works with Max2 Pro also? I.e. HDMI is one hole and there is a different hole for charging that can be plugged in at the same time?

Usually with tablets and smartphones and such, they tend to have a combined port for data transfer and charging. Sometimes they ingeniously work together - connect your phone to computer to transfer files and it incidentally is charging at the same time.
