## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the zenscreen model touch?**
A: There are 6 different models in this one listing. Some of them are, and some are not. Make sure when asking questions or checking reviews you are seeing the model you are looking for.

**Q: I have a zenscreen mb16ac and somehow lost the usb-c cable that connected it to my mac book pro 13" 2017. what cable do i need to get to replace it?**
A: Thundebolt 3 or 4 USB-C cables, also USB-C with power delivery that should mention like 20-40gbps and 60-100w power (to power laptops and such) if the cable you find is $10 or so, may be too cheap, unless it's like a foot or less in size - Should be $15+ sometimes like $30+ (but those are too expensive), if you buy any cables here on Amazon - return is super easy, so buy 2 or 3 if you can, and try them, if one doesn't work, send it back, and if you can, keep two so you have a backup. Save the 2nd one in a clearly labeled zip lock back and in a desk or where you keep important stuff.

**Q: Will this work on a Macbook Air 2018?**
A: Yes! Works great with my 2018. With included USB C cable and no drivers needed! 

If you use the included hybrid adapter, the USB C to A adapter, you will need to install the driver (from the Asus website) if you’re using this on an older Mac/Windows. 

The only downside is when your Mac goes to sleep, the Asus seems to have issues waking up. I’ll usually have to disconnect then reconnect, to fix this. 

This is a minor annoyance versus carrying around a full sized monitor.

**Q: Can anybody confirm that mb16amt  works with a smart pen (if so which one) or stylus? for drawing/writing or highlighting pdf?**
A: It comes with a stylus pen that works simply by touch, there are no electronics in the pen.  It works only by touch.  It most likely wouldn't support any of the "smart" features of a smart pen.
