Regarding the battery, is it possible to simply use the Max 2 with the battery being charged, just like you would use a laptop ?
The only big problem when using it as a monitor, is that the native app doesn't use the full screen resolution, so you are forced to use better alternatives like spacedesk, but those ones have a worse refresh rate, so you suffer if you try to scroll fast or use the mouse like a normal computer.

If you want to use a browser on the max, read and not move much between things with fast scrolling, and you use page up page down to do it, will work fine, If you are going to use it to edit text or similar things, also fine, otherwise, it's a hit and miss.
