2. Connecting to Your Laptop
The Maxfree X2 offers flexible connectivity options.

- Using Type-C and HDMI Cables (If laptop Type-C cannot supply enough power):
If your laptop cannot provide sufficient power via its Type-C port, connect the X2 using a Type-C cable for video signal and an HDMI cable for additional power or video. You may need to use an external power adapter (not included) if the laptop's USB-A ports cannot provide enough power.
